For car dependency, we construct a detailed spatial index from data on travel times (by car and public transport) to schools, supermarkets, hospitals, town centres and employment, and Census data on density, car ownership, and transport mode used to travel to work. 3/4

A short thread on the data used in the NEF report on car dependency by me and Emmet Kiberd, released yesterday. The report looks at the exact locations of all new homes in England, and shows that they are being built in increasingly car dependent areas. 1/4

This is Milton Keynes. The whole city is car-oriented, but new developments form a heavily car dependent 'doughnout' around the edges. Nearby Bedford, Northampton, and Leicester look similar - this is why we have green belts! 4/6

This is Wynyard, a 'cowpat' on the border of Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees. It is marketed as a “thriving village concept” but like most greenfield developments, it is built for car and has very few amenities. 3/6

Highlights from the @neweconomics.bsky.social report on car dependency. The report shows that new homes in England are increasingly located in car dependent areas with poor transport infrastructure. The triangle in the figure indicates car dependency of median home from each period. 1/6

We ranked small areas across England for car dependency and looked where new homes are being built. Increasingly, they are located in car dependent places with poor transport infrastructure. The triangle in the figure indicates car dependency of median home from each period. 2/3
