The point of view that Peter Calthorpe has focused conection with the future cause he talks of how important is to plain a city more sustentable, to a big population of people, that is growing day by day.
He talks about the density segregation of the people, about this he refer that sprawl is the best option to make a better city, connected to increase the density of the road network cause when someone spend less time in their daily trip in the routine, life turns a little bit lighter, and the persons more happier, and the city a little bit better.
He talks about the expensive that the life turns in the cities, because of the fuel, long time to get into our jobs, our universities, our schools, on the trips to our destiny places, making our societies next to collapse if someting fails, for example, in Santiago if the subway fails, the city jams up instantly.
He also talks about the problem of pollution that makes so many problems to the people, so he says that is so important to make a city for walkers and bikers, a city more walkable, and a solution to that is to sprawl the city sidewalks put focus on bike and walk to transport.
Peter talks about how a city can change if the people do some changes in their routines, for example to prefer to walk or to go out on a bike instead of a car, these are things that every person have heared at least one time, in the TV, on campaigns, on books, but he applies in the urban meaning, showing that if the cities are collapsing, is in part of our behavior.
Other thing that he says makes reference to the sprawl of the urbanistic planification that can change the cities, to not just put focus on the downtown, but even to plain places to shop, to work in, in brief, to created mixed-use neighbourhoods, to decongest the downtown of the cities, to avoid the collapse that the most of cities are having nowadays.
