Otis White<p>Jane Jacobs’ “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” is a firehose of ideas, only a few of which stick with readers. But try reading it all the way through. Here’s an overlooked idea you’ll find: We need theaters and <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/arts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arts</span></a> centers to be in <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/neighborhoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neighborhoods</span></a>, not cultural districts like NYC’s Lincoln Center. Why? Good for neighborhoods, good for the arts. <a href="https://saportareport.com/importance-of-small-theaters-and-arts-centers-in-atlanta/atlanta-way-2-0/atlantaway2-0/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">saportareport.com/importance-o</span><span class="invisible">f-small-theaters-and-arts-centers-in-atlanta/atlanta-way-2-0/atlantaway2-0/</span></a></p>

Here it is. Americans spend 99 minutes more A DAY at home than in 2003. This hermit-like behavior comes with huge personal and social costs, from mental health to extremist politics. The answer: Let’s make it easier to do things and meet people outside the home. And that’s a perfect definition of … walkable places. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/03/americans-homebodies-isolation/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/opinions/20</span><span class="invisible">25/08/03/americans-homebodies-isolation/</span></a></p>

It’s likely to be mixed-use, interesting and alive at all hours. Here’s another difference: Walkable <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/neighborhoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neighborhoods</span></a> tend to welcome more people. That’s the case in S.D., where housing permits are clustered in its most walkable places. <a href="https://voiceofsandiego.org/2025/07/29/san-diego-housing-data-reveal-fastest-growth-in-urban-core/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">voiceofsandiego.org/2025/07/29</span><span class="invisible">/san-diego-housing-data-reveal-fastest-growth-in-urban-core/</span></a></p>

Otis White<p>It’s easy to think that some damage done to cities is irreversible … like the highways that divided <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/downtowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>downtowns</span></a> from their waterfronts or plowed through <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/neighborhoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neighborhoods</span></a>. But are these mistakes truly irreversible? An effort to cap a freeway in Philly suggests some problems aren’t unsolvable.

Otis White<p>If you’ve read Carlos Moreno’s book, “The 15-Minute City,” you know his notions about proximity aren’t just a planning concept but a data project as well. Moreno’s work in Paris helps <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/neighborhoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neighborhoods</span></a> identify what residents can do within a short walk or bike ride of home … and what they can’t. Can you find similar data projects in the U.S.? Why, yes, including one in D.C. <a href="https://ggwash.org/view/99723/new-data-tool-reveals-access-to-built-environment-features-across-dc-neighborhoods" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ggwash.org/view/99723/new-data</span><span class="invisible">-tool-reveals-access-to-built-environment-features-across-dc-neighborhoods</span></a></p>
Otis White<p>If you despair that cities have made so many bad decisions in the past that they simply cannot be fixed today, then know that cities are ever-changing places.

Otis White<p>Chicago’s <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/neighborhoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neighborhoods</span></a> are good places to learn about social problems. In 2002 sociologist Eric Klinenberg published “Heat Wave” about how some parts of Chicago navigated public health threats better than others. Now there’s a book about neighborhoods and violence. The books point to the same things: Design can facilitate social connections; connections can solve problems. <a href="https://www.wbez.org/criminal-justice/2025/04/21/definitely-a-cause-for-hope-uchicago-economist-says-of-new-book-on-causes-of-gun-violence" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wbez.org/criminal-justice/2025</span><span class="invisible">/04/21/definitely-a-cause-for-hope-uchicago-economist-says-of-new-book-on-causes-of-gun-violence</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/publicsafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publicsafety</span></a></p>
