From a population then of just 300, it has become a vast urban area of 5.5 million inhabitants, attracting

country after New York and Chicago. 
 Its wide variety of attractions includes sandy beaches, nightclubs, music and dancing, as well as 
activities such as skateboarding and cycling in the world-famous, fashionable South Beach area. The city

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 41. 
 The private car is assumed to have widened human horizons and increased human mobility. When we 
consider children’s mobility, they can be driven to more places and more distant places than they could visit 
without access to a motor vehicle. However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively 
eroded children’s independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own 
neighbourhood or city without adult supervision. 
 Children’s independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal, mental 
and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighbourhood and community 
gives them a ‘sense of place’. This depends on active exploration, which is not provided for when children 
are passengers in cars. Such children may see more, but learn less. 
 The reduction in children’s freedom may also contribute to a weakening sense of local community. 
As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians, they become less sociable places. There is less 
opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that lead to a feeling of community. 
This in itself may increase crimes targeted at children because there are now fewer adults available who 
know their neighbours’ children and who can look out for their safety. 
 The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollution, 
and accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, 
thus contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Thus, there are also important 
environmental implications of children’s loss of freedom. 
 It is now time to accept the view that the function of streets is not solely to provide mobility for cars. 
They may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. Perhaps it will be our concern for our 
children’s welfare that convinces us that we need to challenge the dominance of the car in our cities.
