3. The industrial, pre-motor vehicle city saw severe congestion. It became something to escape and shun.

4. Solutions included network differentiation, residential relocation, multi-level designs, and later, sound barriers and a general turning of our backs to the major thoroughfares. Drawing by H.W.Corbett, “ The city of the future: an innovative solution to the traffic problem” Scientific American, 1913

5. Today’s commuters, in long lines, are on individual life support systems. We survive in the environment through which we drive, having overcome physical attributes of speed, air quality and weather, especially temperature, that would otherwise be intolerable. Social attributes of personal safety are very significant to us.
