The answer to urban muscle is to spread it out by remaking society with multiple urban settings

Yglesias | ThinkProgress: "Part of the answer is, they can’t. It takes many years for private investment to create the incremental productive employment opportunities and for public investment to build the urban infrastructure. The other part of the answer is that they do move, hoping to capture a place in the new economy. Not all succeed." You heard me right. If we start creating new cities of 10K more or less wherever we want we can avoid the lemming flight to existing metropoles and the polarization this creates. We can design what works and create car-free, integral communities. It is all laid out in Christopher Alexander's "Pattern Language".
