That style of layout is called 'urban village' and it hasn't worked in the long run because economic incentives will favor infill development that is closer to economic centers. This isn't to say that they can't work but there are many examples of failed urban villages that eventually turn into sprawling regions.

I can't access the article.

There is a lot of opposition to high density that is racist and selfish. However, in my experience, a lot of people who are not ignorant or racist are opposed to high density housing because it is built in places that lack infrastructure to support high density housing. I think there would be a lot less opposition if cities were more proactive in improving infrastructure (more parks, mass transit, wider roads, etc.) before high density housing was developed.

Great Idea!I checked out the website and it looks like it is targeted towards older men (40+). Was there any particular reasoning for this? I'm in my 20s and I know a lot of men my age who are obese. Was the program developed specifically for older men?
