Technology Alone Won't Save Our Cities

Toderian says that new technology can of course be useful, but it does "...not replace the need to do city planning or city building properly in the first place.":

"I think there are many cities that are trying to retroactively apply technology to solve problems that were caused by the pattern of the city itself, and that won't work. The best technology for running transit will not work in a city that is low density, separated, and sprawled. I am a little worried that the technology discussions will distract us from the tough choices of fundamental city building that we need to make."
