8. Transport planning Traffic is caused by the geographical separation of functions. Large flows of traffic are generated by concentrations of functions and high densities. Public transport needs large flows to be operated economically.

9. Traffic policy This is what we wish to achieve: - Decrease the growth in traffic - The greatest part of the growth in traffic replaced by public transport - Reduce the environmental issues caused by traffic - Shield the City Center from unwanted pressure from traffic - Build a coherent pedestrian and bicycle road system - Reduce the number of traffic accidents

10.
