Abstract: 
Cities, unlike nature, have evolved as a result of concentrated political and/or economic power. The use of cheap fossil energy enabled them to overcome the problem of resource limits and the associated growth of urban populations. Traditional transportation works methodically with positive feedback, the so-called demand-responsive planning, in accordance with spatial and urban planning. The material aspiration level of the population has risen, population, politics, and car-oriented urban planning have moved further away from sustainable development, and only a paradigm shift in the transportation system can lead to sustainable urbanization.
