I'm a huge fan of the 15 minute city. It's a bit hard to retrofit that into existing sprawling cities. One avenue I'm excited about in places like Austin is building dense mixed use development areas like https://brodieoaksredevelopment.com/ https://brodieoaksredevelopment.com/ which turns a massive strip mall into a much denser area as a destination.
This then makes it feasible to build public transit between these areas and start building things up along those transit lines.
