SUMMARY
San Francisco is one of the world's most attractive cities. However, its economic and demographic growth is outstripping that of its transportation infrastructure. Even though almost 20% of commuters use walking, public transport or bicycles to get around, congestion and pollution are recurring problems. Against a backdrop of scarcity of available land, the city has taken the problem seriously. It is pursuing an innovative policy to improve the efficiency of the transport system, limit the footprint of parking lots, roads and urban interchanges, and offer other alternatives to the use (and ownership) of the private car.
