2. This requires radical thinking and a different mindset.
3. All neighbourhoods should be planned to encourage walking, cycling and use of public transport as the preferred mode of transport, in preference to the private motor car.
4. Vauban (Freiburg, Germany) shows what can be achieved when pedestrians and cyclists are placed at the heart of neighbourhood planning.
5. Most everyday local facilities should be located within 15 minutes of any given home, by any means other than private car.
