If everybody wants to commute roughly to the same area in the city, it's much easier to build public transport that serves them. Dense cores work very well until the city becomes too big to support reasonable commute times from the periphery to the center by public transport. Of course you need to take care that things like supermarkets, restaurants, schools, libraries and such are well distributed so that people can walk or cycle to them.
- tagoregrtst 5y agoIf you put everything in the same place ppl end up being on crowded shoulder to shoulder - very difficult to walk 100 m to do what you need. Its like putting too many cores in a CPU without addressing the memory bus. Better an architecture where a core largely has everything it needs locally and only occasionally needs to go elsewhere; hierarchically seeking larger, harder to reach, memories This is not the suburban model - in suburbia everything is far from everything. Even your next door neighbor. Instead, in my model, everything you typically immediately need (grocer, baker, pharmacist) is within walking distance (ideally, no public transit needed!).
