No, I mean that districts should be planned in a way to make them walkable, oriented also towards the public transport system. Thats possible.
I mean if it works within the dense parts of Vienna that more people use the public transport than the car, why should it be impossible in new districts if the districts are planned with having PT and walkability in mind?
Of course cars oriented districts and cities, make it very hard to not use the car. They lead to a significantly lower quality of life, a far larger contribution to the pollution etc.
The times when the car was hailed as solution are over I think. Luckily. I hope that city planners reorient themselves again and plan cities for humans, not for cars.
Having that said, I do not say, we have to ban the car compeletly from the streets. No but we have to make the alternatives to the car more efficient and convenient than the car, at least in the dense cities.
