We need to allow our urban 'single family' neighbourhoods to evolve.
Our vision: Accessible, zero emission, bright, social, bike oriented, #singlestair homes - allowed on individual residential lots - everywhere.
That would be the perfect organic solution. But a good first step solution could be that kind of zoning near already built infrastructure like subway, trams, grocery stores, high schools, colleges, shopping centres...that would be a start and make for a lot more walking trips rather than car trips.
Yes - as long as it’s not used as an excuse to shove all the density on busy arterials. “Service and transit adjacency” has been leveraged that way in the past.
I see this as working in the expensive inner burbs which already have a degree of transit access and walkability to local services.
