The implications of travel time budgets & the shift to motorised transport

(Note the radio show is available for only 6 days after broadcast)
 
Whether you live in a modern, fast moving city or a slow, rural hamlet - you'll probably spend as long getting to and from work every day. But how's that going to work when everyone in the world gets a car?
 
The crux of the concern is this - as the world develops and populations grow, the 60 to 90-minute return commute will become ever more of a drag on the world's scarce resources as people switch from walking to the car, bus or train.
