AB Previous research has studied possible links between different urban environments andinduced mobility. The traditional Spanish city patterns have specific features that promotethe use of soft modes, mainly favouring pedestrian presence in the streets. Nevertheless thelast twenty years development has changed the previous urban reality in many towns,following some sprawl characteristics and occupying much more land than strictlynecessary. Accordingly, we have analyzed the morphology of Burgos using the perspectiveof urban fabric differences. Focusing in some parameters such as density of dwellings,population and compactness, we have tried to understand the underlying correlationbetween urban environment and private car trip generation.However, although some of these urban variables can be considered as quantitative andquick indicators for unsustainable modes of transport, the effects of compact or diffusedevelopment cannot be figured without taking into consideration other parallel factors thatconfigure urban vitality. A previous qualitative analysis of urban growth and developmentmay help to grasp this reality, connected with design criteria trends and urban planningpolicies. Likewise, mobility cannot be completely understood if only quantitativecorrelation is prosecuted. The retail distribution or concentration, the presence of malls, theexcessive streets broadness, the existence and size of open spaces, or the residentialbuilding typologies have verifiable impact on the final modal share. Our results show clearcorrespondence between low dense urban fabrics and higher number of car trips. Hence,future urban development and reform policies must be oriented if sustainable mobilityobjectives want to be fulfilled. We suggest some final recommendations with this aim.
