Model shows high-urbanization would reduce VMT but requires steep infill
Consultants found the 'high urbanization' scenario could lower VMT per capita (roughly a 5.7% decrease) but would require infill rates roughly five times recent historic construction in climate-friendly areas — a major feasibility challenge.
The full story
Consultants told the council that concentrating growth into climate-friendly areas and higher-intensity mixed-use districts produces the largest per-capita VMT reductions in the model.
