Density is one factor but the complete separation of commercial and residential zoning is also a huge factor. In a lot of walkable cities the first floor of most buildings is often reserved for low impact commercial uses like shops or restaurants. I am in a car dependent city (I need the car to go to work) but the fact that there are 3 stores in walking distance helps cut down on the voluntary car trips significantly. Even the weekly trip to a far away store takes 10 minutes at most by car. |
