The contrast in providing more transport capacity in the cities between the U.S.A. and Europe is described. Lessons for the future toward a more satisfactory combinations of motorized and urbanized are presented. The time has come for new kinds of urbanization that avoid the dence-packed continuous build up and give more freedom of communication. High speed intercity transport (automobile, airplane, air cushion vehicles, automated highways) offers an alternative to low- speed transport in areas of congestion. First of all a national approach to urban planning is necessary. The advantages of special designed new towns are described. A review is given of what will be the role of the automobile in the cities of 2000. There will be a restricted number of streets for motor traffic. Much will be done to develop pedestrian transport.
