MODERATORS
That's an incredibly bold plan, but I do love the vague concept. Are we just going to redo all the city planning of the past, what is going to be our new set of standards?
Hopefully walkability. Fuck the car industry
Agreed, but "walkability" is not a set of standards. I'm talking about documents, numbers, widths and lengths, intersection types, grid sizing for repeatable patterns.
It looks like the EPA has published a document on measuring walkability within the USA HERE, and Harvard Researchers have also published a few, but I bet there are also European examples both good and bad we could take from.
