This is really what I was trying to get at: if you have a lot of land to potentially develop, and a relatively clean slate, you can get the best of both worlds in terms of convenience and hominess.
I think the world's most connected sprawl would inevitably be a better place than the world's tallest city core.
- elyobo 9y agoI think that's inherently wrong; you need a mixture of densities, but everything low density sprawl is a nightmare. Increasing average density has benefits even for the left over areas of low density, e.g. reduced traffic, lower infrastructure costs per resident, lower average distance to amenities.
