The last 80 years of growth in those cities has been strictly seaparated residential zones actively designed to discourage foot traffic. Twisty confusing roads with one entrance to a neighborhood, and no sidewalks. Unless the growth includes tearing out old houses how can it fix those problems?
- Ericson2314 6y agoThe last 80 years of residential growth. But what about officespace? If it's all decentralized office parks, yeah that's going to be harder. But if there is a strong "central business district" (America's tend to be denser than Eeurope's for some reason) that can be a foundation to go outword from. Basically infill that with some residential and work outwards from there, redeveloping the burbs only once the core is saturated and there's some momentum.
