I say we build new, people centric cities, move to them, and tear the old ones down. Or find ways to uproot the roads and replace them with useful infrastructure. I agree with you, the thing that sucks (in the US) is our cities have all become car centric tombs that stretch for miles on end.
This would be effective. Altering the way we designed cities would allow new developments to abandon roads. Create walkable areas connected to an overarching network of high speed rail. As more sections go up, population will fill it, and priority can be given to residents that need to move to make way for the next redevelopment section.
