the interest view that Peter Calthorpe gives us. Calthorpe gives a couple examples, different grafics to understand better the situation.
he says in the future the increase of population will be a big problem for the human being. The way we build the cities will be very important. Another point que talks about is to reduce sprawl and produce higher quality urban places. he gives 7 principles to build better cities:
.the first one is Preserve natural ecologies, cultural heritage sites and agrarian landscapes. Growing smart is the solution to this problem, the difference between this 2 ways to organize the cities. Also it changes the way and quality of life.
-the second is create mixed-use and mixed-income neighborhoods. young with older people, differents interaction with the others.
-he talks about walk, peter says that it´s important to design walkable streets and human scale neighborhoods to interact. in these points he gives us examples about the distances in 2 cities and how money cost, one of them is drive a car, it´s very expensive for us.
-he wants to prioritize bicycle networks and have auto-free street. this point with the preious context. it´s the most efficient way to transport. in China is full of bicycle networks, they want to bring back their cyclist history.
- He says we should increase density of road network and other point is to limit block side. again the interaction with people is very import, in this block side people dont know each other.
-Again he explain the point of ride is about the organization of the cityes with traffict, it´ll be hard, but it´s possible.
- the last point is to match density and mix to transit capacity. it has to be in this way.
My point of view is like his point of view without any doubt. it´ll be hard, but we can do it
