very funny but sadly true New Yorker cover - reminds me of the cartoon of the person refusing to go to the step class because the elevator was broken! Everyday activity is the answer of course.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an ordinary, “invisible” part of every day life?
It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

What is the role of residential density in building a city of 20min neighbourhoods? We found that to provide 800m access to daily destinations, we need at least 25-35 dwellings per hectare (dph) and the cost at 30 dph is almost half of when building at 15 dph.
