Motorization

Motorization refers to the process of using motorized vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles, to replace traditional forms of transportation like walking, cycling, or using horses. It has transformed societies by enhancing mobility, allowing for faster travel and easier access to goods and services. This shift began in the early 20th century with the mass production of automobiles and has significantly impacted urban planning, economies, and lifestyles worldwide. While motorization offers convenience and efficiency, it also raises concerns about traffic congestion, pollution, and environmental sustainability.
