Urban areas use only a portion of lands
Mountains to some are an obstacle
Farmland is still at risk of suburban sprawl
Sprawl makes transportation inefficient
Cheap energy spawned this pattern
Expensive Energy means time to replan.

Now neglected lands, seen as liability
Chance to reduce sprawl - compact cities
Urban land reclamation; more efficiencies

Mountain seen as barriers instead ofnatural areas for community
Traditional urban forms needed, notflatland development; new standards
Total withdrawal from farmlands; claw back farms from urban sprawl
New patterns foster better economy,
culture and environment

Old Urban areas can quadruple density
Most of land still is not used effectively
All land use types need radical revision
End of cheap energy requires replanning
Soft landing can mean lifestyles improve

Soft Landing=End of Cheap energy=Less energy for all
Smaller homes, closer together, less travel
More time, new local industry, & variety
Food production and culture increase
Environment protected better
Social cooperation increases

Do Not plan large lot subdivisions- planfor clustered small lots in landscape
Do Not plan for Very Wide Roads- planfor narrow roads in a grid adapted to hills
Do not use over half of a townsite area-give every house a street address but arural back door.
Do not neglect all aspects of life- provideaccess to sho in , schools & obs b foot
