Land Use and Linkages
Optimizing land use.
  • Design the network of streets and green corridors to provide many connections and links, so that walking routes are close to being “as the crow flies.”
  • Increase density and diversity of uses.
  • Aim to assure access to transit stops within a five-minute walk (1/4 mile), everyday amenities within a 10-minute walk (1/2 mile), and employment opportunities within a 20-minute walk (1-mile).
