How could life be car free

How could life be car freeBy creating dense enough communitiesBy having all ways walkable and free of carsBy integrating residence, entertainment, shops, restaurants, workplaces, and everything else we now drive toBy minimizing the need for elaborate housing by enhancing public space well beyond our present slovenly approachBy making all elements of such communities modular so a new industry of creating smart surfaces could replace the auto industry and serve the worldIt would be easy for 5-10K persons to live in an area no more than a mile from edge to edgeTransportation would be between such communities not within themTo the extent such communities are well joined by pubic transit the need for cars would diminish
