TL;DR: This paper found that gasoline consumption per capita in ten large US cities vary by up to 40% due to land use and transport planning factors, rather than price or income variations. But the same patterns are seen in a global sample of thirty two cities where average gasoline consumption in US cities was nearly twice as much as in Australian cities, four times higher than european cities and ten times higher asian cities, while allowing for gasoline price, income and vehicle efficiency explains only half of these differences.

TL;DR: This paper found that gasoline consumption per capita in ten large United States cities varies by up to 40 percent, primarily due to land use and transportation planning factors, rather than price or income variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide data on a uniform, standardized basis for major cities of the world, bringing together transport patterns and land use to provide insight into the question of automobile dependency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss ten critical responses to this issue and summarize them in a simple conceptual model that places the nexus between transport and urban form at the heart of developing an eco-city.
