From the description of an urban development project:
"There was a planned shopping zone but this was not to appear until much later and this seemed to be designed around the American model of a shopping strip supporting an auto-centric suburb."
How would you translate auto-centric (or autocentric)? I found several examples on the internet of "autocentric development" and similar expressions but I'm not sure what the meaning is?

autocentrisk
Jeg kan ganske vist ikke verificere, at det anvendes på dansk, men den slags udtryk har det med at blive internationale, og jeg har fundet følgende på et svensk site:
"Om vi förutsätter att regeln infördes i ett autocentrisk samhälle skulle långväga biltransporter bli mindre attraktiva."
"Om vi förutsätter att regeln infördes i ett autocentrisk samhälle skulle långväga biltransporter bli mindre attraktiva."
