The Urban Land Institute published an analysis in 2007 titled Growing Cooler: The Evidence on Urban Development and Climate Change, concluding that more compact development can decrease driving rates 20% to 40%. The ULI issued a follow-up report in 2009 titled Moving Cooler: An Analysis of Transportation Strategies for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which surveyed the greatest sources of potential GHG reduction from transportation, including tolls, taxes, mixed-use compact development and other land use measures, teleworking, speed limits, and expanded travel options.
