>>1766252To be honest, I don't think a city without cars achievable and sadly will remain nothing but a daydream, even just due to niche applications and situations where neither public transit nor cycling are appliable due to cost or external factors.
What's far more important is making cars as unnecessary as possible with well developed public transit even at night, a good mixed-use and medium dense urban and sub-urban landscape where one can travel well by foot, bike or transit, and enough cycling infrastructure, with the goal after all being to make it attractive not to drive.
>>1766493>If you want to feel like a pussy, remember that Phoenix, Arizona predates the air conditioner and the car. People just lived there in that weather. Does asphalt heat up the city that much?The city is very young, used to be tiny, and grew pretty much together with advent of air conditioning, same with most other young cities in hot areas like Vegas.
