In a certain country, the government has implemented a new policy to reduce air pollution by limiting the number of vehicles on the road. However, this policy has led to an increase in public transportation usage. Which of the following statements best describes the potential impact of this policy on urban development?

A. Urban areas will likely become less congested, leading to improved air quality and increased property values.

B. The increase in public transportation usage will likely result in a decrease in urban population density.

C. Limiting vehicles will cause a shift towards more suburban living, as people seek larger homes away from the city center.

D. The policy may encourage the development of more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure in urban areas.

答案解析

This question assesses the understanding of urban development dynamics in relation to transportation policies. The correct answer is D, as limiting vehicles typically encourages cities to invest in pedestrian-friendly infrastructure to accommodate increased public transport usage. Option A is misleading because while congestion may decrease, property values can be influenced by various factors, not just air quality. Option B is incorrect because increased public transport usage often leads to higher urban density, not lower. Option C is also misleading; while some may move to suburbs, the trend often favors urban living due to better public transport access.
