"There are only two places to park - large garages [] where a car owner can buy a space" (Source 1) These parking spaces cost $40,000, and the car owner buys this space along with a house. As a result of this phenomenon "70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars" (Source 1) and 57 percent of people sold their car and chose to move to Vauban, Germany. Cars are "responsible for 12 percent of greehouse gas emissions in Europe" (Source 1). Yet there have been efforts to lower the greenhouse gases, Vauban put a stop to cars to make the citites nice, and better for walking.
