   Abstract : The supremacy of the automotive manufacturers today is no longer driven by them achieving a superior manufacturing quality but increasingly depends on the customer’s quality perception. Average car consumers see a car’s quality as a fancy mixture of design, aesthetics, their own previous experiences and performance characteristics of the vehicle, unlike a combination of mechanical parts, software pieces, advanced materials, cutting-edge manufacturing processes, with technical knowledge, skills and high production volumes – all ingredients involved in the modern car creation.

   Keywords : urban design; neighborhood; car use; child leisure activity; school trips; lifestyle; perceived environment;

   Abstract : Sustainable urban mobility calls for well-informed design of neighborhoods.

Little is also known about residents’ valuation of design and urban quality in this context. READ MORE
