We should look at the developments that have already taken place and learn from them. For example, many of the larger developments favour winding roads. Perhaps the idea is to slow traffic to keep pedestrians safer, however, car drivers unable to see far ahead because the road bends, particularly if a vehicle is parked (e.g. delivery drivers), actually makes the roads more dangerous. And all new housing should be obliged to have bigger gardens - all building and no garden is bad for the environment and for the mental well-being of the residents.
Cycle paths need to be planned for.
