The architectural agenda for this proposal shares the same broad goal
that the urban design agenda addresses: To encourage community and to
promote healthy modes of city-dwelling. We propose an alternative grid of circulation for bicycles and
pedestrians, keeping auto access limited to the avenues and streets. By
changing the alley into pedestrian and bicycle paths, these areas will
become the 'front' for the communities that they give access to. With
these limits imposed on the otherwise ubiquitous automobile, the
denizens of dingbatopia are thereby encouraged to get to know their
neighbors and their neighborhood on foot or pedal.
