    I read an article on National Geographic (Here's the link if anyone's interested: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2019/04/to-build-cities-of-the-future-stop-driving-cars/). It looked at a variety of case studies, from Copenhagen to Portland to the problems of Silicon Valley to Kunming. The article focused a lot on the problems with sprawl which creates the "disconnected environment" that forces people to use cars.
