OLD-FASHIONED COMPACT, CONVENIENT, MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FOR A MODERN, POST PANDEMIC, WALKABLE WORLD
“I call this the new happy life, the happy city. We need to rediscover proximity in a peaceful, greener city. It also is healthier because of a low carbon impact,” Carlos Moreno said.
While Paris,
which developed long before the car was the primary means of transportation,
already is a 15-minute city to a large degree
– Moreno
points out that it still benefits from turning parking lots into greenery,
making traffic circles pedestrian and bike friendly, and decentralizing the
city.
That means
more medical centers spread through the neighborhoods and affordable housing
introduced into wealthy neighborhoods, so support workers don’t have to live
far outside the center.
