Very interesting article about the behavioural changes underway in UK:
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/features/is-this-the-end-of-the-car-2286616.html

Initial thoughts:
- How sad is it that "new urbanism" is old hat in many Indian cities, 
but our authorities are bent on going towards old urbanism?
- "Controlled parking", a key suspect causing the behavioural change - 
when will they get it?
- Maybe they will, if they internalize the message of the Groningen 
example and realize that their precious real estate will get even more 
precious if they do some of these things.
