Description
Cities can endure for centuries, but their physical structure often hinders growth and change. Existing infrastructure is rarely designed to be extended or retrofitted, leading to costly reconstruction when needed. The Robust City proposes an alternative approach, where urban planning prioritises expansion and sustainability. By focusing development within walking distance of public transport corridors, cities can create 'green enclaves' that facilitate recreational access and efficient circulation of motor vehicles. This approach can also be applied at the neighbourhood level to manage urban intensification. By considering these principles, cities can become more robust, expandable, and sustainable, reducing the need for costly reconstruction and creating a better quality of life for residents.
