>>1226106I've been researching urban planning lately.
Am I wrong in assuming that the following is the correct way to improve a city
>identify what parts of city are within half a mile of metro or light rail>eliminate all parking requirements for buildings and businesses in this area>eliminate all height restrictions and floor area ratio restrictions>eliminate all zoning restrictions that aren't directly related to noise, pollution, or electricity usage>automatically grant planning permission to any new construction that is in the zone and doesn't create problems with one of these three things>continue to automatically grant such permission until such time as nearby transit networks are swamped>increase capacity of transit, continue to infill and increase capacity of local transit until either housing supply meets demand and developers stop building, or the transit system is running at the maximum possible capacityoptional yolostrats
>massive mixed cyclist/pedestrian sidewalks on all roads within the zone>shall issue CC>eliminate all rent controlled housing and subsidized housing within this zone, force poor people to take commuter rail>signal priority for cyclist/pedestrian sidewalks or something like +15 so that normal people never have to wait for cagers>cap and trade licenses for vehicles allowed to operate in the zone>large scale implementation of pedestrian malls
