Abstract
This paper presents a cross-cultural comparison of the social, cultural, institutional and physical context and impacts of automobility and urban granularity in two global automotive capitals: Detroit and São Paulo. It uses a combination of descriptive history and comparative mapping to describe and measure urban change due to automobile intervenions. It finds that both cities, under quite similar forces, have actually taken divergent pathways toward infrastructure landscapes.
