I would add removing car parking requirements AND simultaneously pay for public transport, dedicated protected bike lanes etc to serve this new density. Like you mention importance of stores. I would maybe subsidize grocers & shops with tax breaks for a few years to get the walkability cycle going. The cart before horse problem, build it and they will come theory.

Exactly, make it all walkable/bikable with mass transit down the arterials, and incentives and density to attract the commerce. Particularly for mom+pop stores/restaurants. And have it all near enough school and offices that a <10 minute bus ride can get you to those campuses. And you can still have islands of SFH/Townhouses that are within ~4 blocks of high density (I'd probably prefer that since I'm quite introverted most of the time).
