Cities in the Balance: Creating the Transit Friendly City Environment | City Design & Urban Sprawl Cities in the Balance: Creating the Transit- Friendly Environment - Federal Highway Adminstration 1995 - Video VH-349 - Contrasting modern suburban development with older, urban neighborhoods, this video depicts the relationship between transit and land use, and illustrates land use mitigations to make transit an attractive alternative to the automobile. Neo-traditional planning, transit- oriented design, and modest retrofits of existing suburbs are shown. The main thesis of the video is that our dependence on the automobile is the direct result of how we build our cities.

1. No one wants to live in a transit so called friendly city. Cars are the best thing to have.
2. I guess bikes hadn't been invented yet in the 1990s
3. Which buses are you talking about in the horizontal "city"? Why save the oil? How can you keep distances as short as possible grouwing up instead of growing up? Enjoy the sprawl! I cannot watch how another urban sprawl is sold as a sustainable city.
