My favorite neighborhoods in New York have the same features.
• Cars drive slowly
• Narrow streets
• Tree-lined sidewalks
• Neighborhoods are zoned for apartments and commercial use
Oh, and extra points for cobble-stone streets.
We already know how to build great cities.

Big cities give you access, serendipity, and economic opportunities.
Little neighborhoods give you walkability and relationships with your neighbors.
Public transportation is the key ingredient.
