This chapter presents brief descriptions of transportation developments in several peer countries and their cities. These include Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Finland, East Asia, Australia and Canada. The chapter discusses their common features and compares with policies and practices in the United States, emphasizing those particularly relevant to efforts to solve the present crisis of transportation and of metropolitan areas in general. In all peer countries, metropolization, or the reorganization of city governments and their functions to respond to spatial growth of traditional cities into expansive metropolitan areas, has become necessary to allow for the planning of coordinated regional transportation. Transit system integration to provide convenient transit travel has been achieved in most metropolitan areas of the United States and its peer countries. Investments in, and improvements of, transit systems have widespread public support in all the peer countries of Europe, as well as in Australia, Canada, and East Asia.
