I recently started a company called Good Places, actually Gode Steder in Norwegian, where we simply design good places. Our goal is to design city districts with better quality of live and status than urban sprawl. You can't force people to live in cities, but you can make urban districts that are for better suited for families than urban sprawl with single family homes. The aesthetic qualities is just as important as the quality of the rest of the city planning. If that means making buildings inspired by 150 years old buildings, then so be it.

- Pathogen-David 2y agoHave you heard of eMOTIONAL Cities by any chance? https://emotionalcities-h2020.eu/ https://emotionalcities-h2020.eu/ It's basically an ongoing large-scale research project working to quantify the way people experience city spaces from a neuroscience perspective (or at least that's my understanding -- I work with some of the people who are working on it.) Maybe the work they're doing could be relevant to what you all are doing?

It also isn't part of urban sprawl.
