First is this possible? and if it is possible how could we achieve this? almost all the Cities in America are vehicle driven and I understand why but if we could build a new city that has the walkability like Japan along good public transportation; I would dedicate all my time to make this happen. I personally would love for Japanese architects to be able to build in their style or in a hybrid of American and Japanese with this city to make something new! The main objective would be for more people to walk and enjoy the beautiful big cities and have things to do! No massive random Walmart that takes up so much space that could be utilized for more homes or businesses. I would love to hear people’s thoughts on this because I don’t know if it even is possible because of US zoning laws and regulations and etc… Imagine how many people would visit this new city because of its new style and walkability and unique style!

How can we make a city like Tokyo in America and what state would work the best? It would need lots of unused land, we would need Japanese architects to help plan the layout.. And is this even something that would be remotely possible in the future? I would love to hear peoples thoughts on this because I don't know if its even possible with all the US Zoning and how different Japan utilizes their land compared to US. I would love for the US to make a big city that is like Japan with the same style, roads, buildings, and shopping districts. Idk if this is even possible but I can dream.
