Most cities are broken IMHO since they value automobiles over people. I want to see more cities that put the commons where you actually can interact with others

Most cities are broken IMHO since they value automobiles over people. I want to see more cities that put the commons where you actually can interact with others first and foremost:
* walking and biking are valued over cars
* vehicles within city limits are only used for delivery of goods.
* instead of a network of roads, we have a network of greenspaces[0]
* more plazas and parks (Medellin has done a pretty good job here)
* one massive park in the center of the city (e.g. NYC and Munchen)
* located where precipitation is not a problem
* cars are only for inter-city travel and stay outside the city (Freiburg)
* Lots of sports in the city (Rio de Janeiro and Sydney, Australia)
* People that need to move bulky things often live/work at the city periphery.
