This paper explores the mental-models of Swedish planners in order to understand the extent to which they support the ideals of sustainable transport. Focussing on three critical challenges: forecast-led versus vision-led planning; tackling congestion; and, public acceptability; the findings, drawn from in-depth interviews, demonstrate mostly advanced thinking. However, implementation can be at odds with these mental models, highlighting important lessons for other cities. There is a disconnect between the objectives of reducing car use and the continuation of investments in increasing road capacity, and a difficulty in transitioning from forecast-led planning to back-casting. Political controversies and public acceptability for measures to decrease car use are an added challenge.

本文探讨了瑞典计划者的心理模型，以了解他们在多大程度上支持可持续交通的理想。着眼于三个关键挑战：以预测为主导的规划与以愿景为主导的规划；解决交通拥堵；以及公众的接受度；从深入的访谈中得出的发现主要表明了先进的思维。但是，实施可能与这些思维模式不一致，从而突显了其他城市的重要教训。减少汽车使用的目标与继续投资以增加道路通行能力之间的目标之间存在脱节，并且难以从以预测为导向的计划过渡到后向预测。政治争议和公众对减少汽车使用量的接受程度是一个额外的挑战。
