In most urbanized areas, nonresidential space accounts for a third or more of the built environment (excluding rights-of-way and other public spaces)

Here, I review five themes that have emerged from the literature responding to these shifts: guiding principles to achieve sustainable communities; the need for healthier community design; how reshaping suburbs will meet new market challenges; the role of transit, especially TODs, in meeting the demands of the next generation and beyond; and

Generally, the less square feet that are contained in a building the more energy for building materials and operations is consumed per person (by 2.5 times) and per square foot

Even if all new homes built between now and 2030 were within walking distance of transit stations, the market demand for walkable transit accessibility would still not be met.
