7. Road kilometers & car ownership levels are rising faster

9. Most wille move to the edges of and outside of the existing megacities

10. Car ownership is on the riseIn Beijing only, 2.000 cars added every day Growth levels also rising: the curve is steepening

17. 100s of kilometers built every year

18. Swift, efficient, cheap, also for Chinese themselves (as opposed to the very expensive HSR lines)

19. Very comprehensive and dynamic information (also in English) ->

20. Still, 11 metro lines does not feel like much in a city the size of Shanghai

21. So car use will also continue to rise

22. No integration with bicycle facilities (trip chaining)

23. Very utilitarian, no attention to design or art
