“Design measures include:
- Compact cities - short block lengths, concentrated housing and business districts;
- Reduce traffic speeds - traffic-calming measures to slow cars;
- Streets for people, not just cars - pedestrian islands, wide sidewalks, plazas and bike lanes;
- Public transportation safe, affordable, and convenient, and;
- Use data mapping techniques to identify problem spots and target design fixes.”
