The subject of this study is sustainable land-use and transportation planning. Increasing car-use is not sustainable. This report describes how 5 european cities have tried to develop and implement strategies for reducing car use and instead promote public transport, cycling and walking. The focus of the study has been strategies, instruments, planning tools and effects, rather than planning processes, institutional aspects or local factors. The project is financed by the Swedish National Road Administration. The author has looked for Nordic and European cities with at least two or more characteristics: - Positive results for modal split development; i e reduced car use, increased use of public transport, cycling and walking. - Positive development of land use; i e strategies that promote human activities in city centres, high density land use in areas with good access to public transport and coordinated regional land use and transportation strategies. - Innovation; i e development of the planning system, use of methods, instruments and planning tools. - Size comparable with Nordic cities; i e population and area. The report includes examples from Norway (Bergen and Jæren), Sweden (Lund), Germany (Freiburg) and the Netherlands (Groningen).
