You could shrink roads and non-space bits of green or concrete filler, expand living areas into some of that reclaimed space while shrinking the city from the rest of that space, have more personal space of higher quality with lower air and noise pollution and closer services in a smaller city and better public transport to/from suburban living areas, and have less sardine can life than currently.
