Cities for the future: Baseline report and key issues, commissioned by the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC), was released at Green Cities 2010 in Melbourne.

Congestion will worsen, travel times become longer and transport-related GHG increase,” says ASBEC President, Tom Roper.
