OLD-FASHIONED COMPACT, CONVENIENT, MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT FOR A MODERN, POST PANDEMIC, WALKABLE WORLD
“This is in
the tradition of Jane Jacobs,” Moreno said of the legendary urban
activist-author who published The Death and Life of Great American Cities in
1961.
“She
developed this idea for livable cities -- very vibrant, with green public
space, social uses, different activities.
The
internet, technology and economic system is very, very different then her
times, but this is still relevant today.”
Moreno said
people are living in hard times of a pandemic, job loss, income disparity, long
commutes and other pressures.
He said
making cities more livable is the medicine for urban ills.
