I'm so confused by this comment. You're saying there is some city planning problem unique to the United States, but also cities in Canada? Could you help me understand how some friction to building in Cincinatti is relevant to Toronto or San Francisco, when different laws and political bodies apply to all?
Sorry, in my mind I combine the US and Canada since much of the planning coverage is in the same news outlets (e.g. streetsblog). For what its worth Canada seems to have many of the same planning and development issues the US has struggled with for the past decades.
