Why don't all city/stated paid engineers paid with public money don't work like and open knowledge community?
A medieval based city (Europe) is often with bridges on a river.
US squared big cities are often on rivers.
And probably the same everywhere. Flux congestion due to bi partition of graphs is such a common pattern out there.
The rivers are here because they were normal way of communications transport. But if it is not a river, it can be highways, mountains...
I may be an idiot but google does not show papers, or stackoverflow, or public conference when I search for "how to solve traffic congestion in city with a bridge". Every single city fight the problem on their own.
Why isn't this problem on the public place?
My answer is engineers don't have the right culture. They believe in canonical ways of doing and do not accept to be scrutinized or share.
Engineers nowadays are for me like a medieval corporation stuck to defend their own privileges at the expand of the community. Maybe it is time to question the education system that build experts.
Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.
This is completely untrue. You can't look for planning information the same way you look for code snippets. This is like looking for medical research on Youtube. StackOverflow? Try https://www.planning.org/ and the Journal of the American Planning Association.
As well, in any profession with large public impact, there is a gap between what the professionals know and what the public accepts. A planner can tell you how to solve traffic congestion in a city with a bridge, but it might not be so simple for a politician to convince people to pay millions, or worse, alter their lifestyle to make it happen.
To give an example: do you think economists and policy professionals don't have a lot of ideas to simplify and improve the tax code? Then why aren't they implemented? Because lobbying and special interests, because talk radio, because social equality, because families, because people think of themselves as impoverished millionaires, because messy real-life stuff.
Trying to access the documents ... they are not public domain, open licensed, nor indexed. And scientific papers should all be available to the public especially when funded with public money so should the data. Privatizing public funded work is theft of the people.
I do not trust any kind of expert or "wise people" that want me to trust them without having access to their so called wisdom.
I do not hear the "necessity is evil but we have to live with it". If people are not willing to prove their worth to the community and being scrutinized they should gracefully resign and admit they are not fit for the mission. This coward attitude is disgusting from people having a corporation that protect the security of their job based on ethic.
And last but not least, they should not spend money of others resulting in the slavery of public debts if they cannot give tokens that -at least- they did their bests in terms of means to achieve their goals.
People with powers should accept to be liable for their actions : it is called responsibility.

Great, so now they've all resigned and we're back to the start with no idea how to solve traffic congestion in a city with a bridge.
Best ask StackOverflow.

You have a long day ahead of you if you want to rant about non-open licensed academic papers
