Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now 'one big traffic jam'. How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?

Possession of cars for individuals has been increasing drastically over the

last

couple of decades around the globe and it leads to one of the predominant unsolvable issue for the authorities today. Unfortunately,

this

aforementioned statement is the absolute truth and I would like to stress, that we definitely have to change

this

situation together. Our history has already contained a very deplorable experience of Detroit

city

from the United States of America. In the XX century, the

city

became a major auto-industrial centre, gained fame as the "automobile capital of the world" and "the

city

of motors". Back in the day,

this

place had a lot of car manufacturers and after a while all residents had several or one car at least.

Initially

, the urban structure of Detroit was not ready for

such

an incredible amount of vehicles – they did not have enough parking spaces and

city

traffic could not provide

such

a huge strain.

Finally

, company owners, investors and other significant people began to leave the

city

, whereas parking lots began to replace theatres, cinemas and other cultural scenes. Detroit ceased to be liveable and eventually went completely bankrupt. What can we do to prevent

this

trend and not turn other cities into Detroit metropolises?

Firstly

, governments should draft a law restricting the ownership of cars.

Secondly

, they should popularize other sorts of transfer and develop a comfortable environment for them, like

for instance

in Holland, where bicycles have long been the primary transport.

Finally

, they have to improve vehicle storage systems, street parking places and organise

some

one or some or every or all without specification

any

monitoring system for traffic jams, which already exist in Japan. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize the whole consideration and emergency of

this

situation everywhere in the world – we can already notice

this

trend in London, Tokyo, Moscow, Chicago, Los-Angeles and we are able to continue

this

list indefinitely. In the near future, according to the current course, if we do nothing,

then

in the near future we will have a new deplorable experience, as has already happened with "the

city

of motors".
