How to make the rich leave their cars at home
People in the higher-income group leave their cars at home only when they find the neighbourhood attractive, not in the face of constraints such as neighbourhood density, new research has found. On the other hand, people in the lower- and middle-income group are more likely to walk or bike when they find it difficult to drive. \"What drives these two groups of people to walk or bike is quite differ
Washington : People in the higher-income group leave their cars at home only when they find the neighbourhood attractive, not in the face of constraints such as neighbourhood density, new research has found. On the other hand, people in the lower- and middle-income group are more likely to walk or bike when they find it difficult to drive. "What drives these two groups of people to walk or bike is quite different," said senior study author Cynthia Chen.
Dimensions of "attractiveness" that motivate the higher-income group include seeing other people when they walk in their neighbourhoods, the study found. "For the higher-income people, walking and biking is a largely result of choice, and our models show that the density of their neighbourhoods and most other things in their built environment, such as the accessibility of destinations, do not really matter as much to them,
For the lower-income group, walking and cycling appears to be the result of constraints, in which case higher neighbourhood density and easy access to destinations are positively associated with more walking or biking," Chen said.
