Better planning

People need a mix of housing, shops, offices, pubs, schools and places of worship within reasonable walking and cycling distance. They should be on public transport routes where this is not possible. For example: offices at public transport interchanges.

Placing low-density housing, shopping and office development on separate sites, then forcing people to drive between them doesn't work.
