Good overview of urban mobility fundamentals - more practical examples and data points would be appreciated

Nice summary of fundamentals. Having some more concrete and detailed case studies of cities would have helped to make the matter more practical. And I would appreciate more data on how quality of leaving, cost of transport, road deaths etc. have changed over time by implementing certain policies and projects.
