In a recent paper in Science Advances, BIDS Faculty Affiliate Marta C. González and colleagues propose a "new urban planning paradigm" in which city-dwellers will be able to access basic needs by bicycle or on foot. The paper presents new insights into the correlation between facilities distribution and population density, and how accessibility using existing road networks could be optimized.
