The problem is that without those things, increased density creates a lot of problems: E.G. Traffic around Metrotown
Metrotown is miserable exactly because of our planning. It follows the North American style of density from the last 40 years where we only build 30-story towers or single family homes.
Urbanists are saying we should instead expand the missing middle density to build livable communities and upzone the entire metro area.
