Abstract Although the end of automobile dependence is well underway, the trends toward urban living, human-focused planning, and investment in transit, biking, and pedestrian infrastructure will need to continue for several decades in order to deliver the quality of urban fabric we need. Any significant change involving technology, culture, legal systems, governance, business models... will require time to settle into becoming a substantial social transformation (Diamond 2009; Beilharz & Hogan 2006; Geels 2011). One important result of the turn in fortunes is that planners in government, community, and industry have begun to see a very different future emerging. Instead of serving business as usual, the approaches to urban land development and transportation policy have shifted. Market leaders, progressive governments, and strong communities can now sense that by implementing policies that reduce automobile dependence they will be on the right side of history. This chapter outlines these major directions forward and shows how they can be built on to enable the end of automobile dependence.
