Encouraging public transport use and walkability are some of the simplest methods of reducing the need for energy use, and by clustering housing and people together it means that we have to use a lot less energy in order to get to where we want to go. It would also create new local hubs for community activity, meaning that people wouldn't need to get in a car to be able to get to the shops, go out to a restaurant or a local park.
