World Transport Policy & Practice. This is a compilation of articles on several different topics to do with urbanism and congestion. The articles include:

- What goes up must come down: Household car ownership and walking for transport.

- Trends, innovative course settings and levels for mobility & transport: Seen in the year 2030. - This article is quite interesting. The author holds a utopian view of the world if it were to progress in environmental awareness levels and development to do with sustainable mobility. (not sustainable transport – think of the difference there)

- Splintering the public realm: Using local public space for corporate economic gain.

- Effects of pedestrianism on the commercial and retail areas: Study of Kha San Road, Bangkok.

- Cycling for active transport and recreation in Australia: Status review and future directions.

- Travel in Inner City Vs Urban fringe of Adelaide: The role of Neighbourhood Design.
