Secondly, the prevalence of larger passenger vehicles influences urban planning and infrastructure development. Wider roads, ample parking spaces, and sprawling suburbs have become the norm to accommodate these vehicles. Consequently, cities face challenges related to land use and resource allocation. The need for expansive road networks often encourages urban sprawl, which can lead to longer commutes, increased traffic congestion, and greater reliance on personal vehicles. To counteract these tendencies, urban planners must rethink transportation infrastructure, prioritizing public transit solutions and creating pedestrian-friendly environments.
