There are context-specific problems to be solved in every city, but the idea is that an innovative design process can help, or should at least be considered. It's not reasonable to expect an instant universal solution (that kind of universal modular solution, by the way, is what "infrastructure" often does end up looking like). This article is arguing for a cultural change; it's about fresh thinking and working with the particularity of local spatial conditions in a creative way. It takes a lot of determination.
