Reorganizing and redesigning our cities, towns, and villages around the Dutch concept of “Autoluw” could not only make them far more livable, alive, and even communal, but dramatically reduce our dependence on automobiles. (I am borrowing the term “conviviality” from Austrian philosopher, Ivan Illich. For more on the topic, see “Energy and Equity” by Ivan Illich, published in Le Monde in 1973.)
