This research paper focuses on how land use planners are continuing to plan and develop cities and urban areas in ways that increase traffic and congestion.

"In this paper we ask how planners frame the ‘transport problem’, and how their framing of the problem affects urban planning, the resulting plans and developments and the urban road traffic volumes. The discussions are based on findings from a case study, a survey and interviews with planning practitioners."

The study focuses on how planners don't do a good job of framing the issues of congestion and traffic.
