This all maybe true, but how do you undo the actual placement of where people live? That’s kind of step one…


1. Start by eliminating R1 zoning. You want to build a 4 unit apartment in that residential neighborhood. GREAT!

2. Remove parking minimums. https://www.strongtowns.org/parking

3. Allow mixed use in neighborhoods. Japan is really great at this. Allow families to turn garages into small bodegas. Allow small businesses to flourish by not forcing them into isolated strip malls surrounded by pedestrian hostile parking lots. https://www.archdaily.com/search/projects/categories/mixed-u...

4. Narrow roads and eliminate on-street parking to create additional pedestrian and cycle infrastructure.

And so on... There are hundreds of plans that are extremely well thought out and just need to be implemented.
