Walkable Block and Residence-with-workplace Neighborhood

Abstract

The Opinions on Further Strengthening the Management of Urban Planning and Construction was recently introduced by the State Council. The proposal in the document for a walkable block caused a strong public reaction. This interview considers the significance of the Opinions, and discusses its intentions, misunderstandings, practical implications, and constructions. It then explores the “residence-with-workplace neighborhood,” one of the overall requirements of the Opinions, and analyses the difficulties and challenges in constructing high-density mixed-use cities with residence-with-workplace neighborhoods.
