How did “car culture” in the United States affect the new migration of the 1950s? The new highway system, which resulted from the car culture, made it easier for people to migrate from the North and East to the South and West. Only wealthy people could afford cars, so the people involved in the new migration tended to be wealthy with a lot of disposable income. As car ownership increased, more people stayed put and only traveled to distant places during vacations, which brought the new migration to an end. Cars helped urban centers and their downtown areas prosper, which made people want to migrate to Eastern cities during the 1950s.

The culture of the car in the 1950s consisted of a large increase in the number of people who owned a car. This had a great impact on the spatial conformation of the population, since the suburbs became a feasible place of housing for the people. Distance was the biggest problem and so people were concentrated in the big centers. In addition, the increase in the number of cars has led to the expansion of road infrastructure, making it easier to travel to long distances and allowing people to migrate from the region.
