And bunch of other sacrifices. One of the points was also about everyone living in a city close by. The study is not applicable to real life, it's utopia scenario. One of the biggest problems isn't even resources, but co2 production.

I dunno, I think it would be perfectly doable with good public transit.

Don't have many big cities, but have mid-sized cities near-ish, and smaller towns near the mid-sized ones. A sort of 'web' of cities, if you will.

what you're describing is called "multigrid" system.

you have grids of varying size, all overlapping each other.

examples:

notice the streets make some kind of "grid" on the landscape

Yes, exactly this was what I was thinking about.

now you also know the name :)

It's awesome, thanks!

And honestly, I could see this sort of systems being handy - having raillines between the big and mid-sized cities, and bus services for the aforementioned + small cities and towns, and (electric) bicycles for the rest.
