#1 MOBILITY

Mobility strategies in a situation connected to a system like metro, train or light rail is to develop a street structure leading to the access / departure point. A pedestrian travel circle stretches out to 5 min of walking (approx 400 mtrs), while traveling by bike stretches out to around 1000-1500 mtrs.

With densification strategies to limit building activity to surrounding access-points one save land and travel time. Developing street-structures for people (instead of cars) with shortcuts and direction towards access-points increases accessibility.

URBAN STRATEGIES FOR DECREASING OUR ECO-FOOTPRINT

THE FIVE ECO-FOOTPRINT PARAMETERS
# mobility
# services
# shelter
# goods
# food

ASPECTS TO IMPLEMENT TO DECREASE FOOTPRINT
# increase local bio-capacity
# enable use of nature services as much as possible
# visualization of the food cycle- "from field to fork" and facilitate for a "hundred mile diet"
# focus on green for production and green for "urban wilds"
   Establishing areas for urban wilds attracts birds, bugs and animals so that they don´t feed on the crops
# education - networking
# pedestrian accessibility
# densification of central areas to minimize travel time
# zero emissions building - ZEB / + housing
