Samenvatting
The paper presents transport demand management programmes in developed countries as a way forward to tackle growth in car use and car dependency and the scope, if any, for the development of such programmes in developing countries. It also presents an overview of how car-clubs are progressing in Europe and focuses on a car-share programme `Programa Transporte Solidario' being developed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, as an attempt to reduce car dependency, ease congestion and ultimately to improve air quality.
