It's not going to do to much changing in cities that are already built but for emerging countries that are building new cities they will be able to set up a infrastructure that will support the Segway for most travel done within the city limits. If you look at America's telecommunication infrastructure (I only use this as an example because it is something I have knowledge about) you will see that 90% of the phone's run on copper or fiber except cell phones which are starting to replace somepeoples home phones, but if you look at new cities that are being built in other countries 90% of the phones are running on cell towers because now the we have the technology we can use it and it is much easier and cheaper to put up a couple of cell towers then it is to run a few miles of copper or fiber. So if a city planner is thinking about building the next NYC in the middle of china somewhere he is going to use the newest technology so he can solve some of the problems he sees in the original NYC such as traffic, pollution and communications.
