Brent ToderianNever forget, if you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan cities for people and places, you get people and places.
Plan for the city you want.

BryanAs a professional planner, I agree with two caveats.
1) Most planners have very little influence over their local built environment and the most important changes go unmade due to community pressure and electeds. We are unable to be advocates as public servants, only educators.
2) We have spent the last 100 years building low-density sprawl. Probably 90% of Americans don’t live in neighborhoods conducive to living their lives car-light let alone car-free. Change takes time.
