It's one of the cities I discuss in Green City: People, Nature and Urban Place, as an example of how to have a quite green urban setting while maintaining high urban density.

That could vastly change through redevelopment. New Yorkers burn gasoline at the rate the U.S. did in the 1920s, because of the 80% usage of public transit. This usage level is common in Asian. Their far more efficient economy is killing America. America learned from Japan in the 80s, but can we learn from Asia today?tdwebstehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185860781518819759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273302883043906742.post-75960580537591348362007-09-24T23:21:00.000-04:002007-09-24T23:21:00.000-04:00Suburban Sprawl is a symptom of the inability to r...Suburban Sprawl is a symptom of the inability to redevelop urban land. Requiring the continuous grabbing of new land to replace the land that cannot be redeveloped.<BR/><BR/>The inability to redevelop suburban land into urban land with embedded green space is costing us all dearly. Asian including Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan uses less than half the energy person than America. America needs to build transit hubs in its suburbs not only to improve our energy efficiency, but social efficiencytdwebstehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185860781518819759noreply@blogger.com
