This is already like what many European cities do; the shops and restaurants all cluster in in a pedestrian only zone (in Germany they call it a fussgänger).
I've found these places quite pleasant; you can eat outside without fast loud cars passing by. You can cross the streets at will.
There's usually even a parking garage at the outset, though a metro system or ride sharing also works.

- matt4077 9y agoThese are usually the most expensive parts of town, and of course there are offices and luxury apartments on the upper floors. People are expected to walk two or three blocks, and that distance is kept down by the pedestrian-only zones usually being only two or three streets wide.
