Walt Disney literally built a Main Street to replicate the feeling of the Main Street he grew up with in small town Missouri. Walkable main streets are such a novelty that this country has to go to a theme park to experience it.

A great example of what Gentle Density to 8X housing looks like! #housingcrisis #urbanism #newurbanism #urbanplanning

We're at #CoMotionMiami ! New mobility technology for land, air & sea! #transportation #urbanmobility

'Walkable neighbourhoods need places to shop. It's not a #15minutecity if you can't find a litre of milk or other useful stuff.' I'd even add open green spaces & access to transit. What else?

Great example of what Gentle Density looks like. 1 home ➡️10 homes on the same lot🪄 📸Anthony Close ☀️ #urbanplanning #urbanism #newurbanism
