David Miet, co-founder and director of Villes Vivantes, reveals the keys to a successful transition from car to public transport.
Public transport runs from the center of conurbations to the inner suburbs. These are areas with great potential for densification and for attracting new residents.
Today, we have some difficulty in producing new housing in these areas, because social acceptability is not obvious. But if we improve on the form, welcoming new inhabitants in places that are already served will mean unnecessary journeys that will be avoided. It’s also by increasing the population in these inner suburbs that the quality and level of public transport service will improve.
