Soviet style comblocks but with more appealing architecture, the original idea was to drive focus on the community living in the buildings instead of aesthetics. Like BW photography draws attention to the subject because you're not distracted by bright colours. The problem is in the case of architecture and community it doesn't really work that way. We have learned since colour actually has psychological impacts....or lack there of.
Also lose the reinforced concrete. The way concrete degrades causes all kinds of problems and makes repairs as you go next to impossible.
Besides that soviet blocks were very effective.
American/Canadian suburbs are literally food deserts. If you don't have a car to get to the city you can literally starve to death in the burbs.
Also traffic from suburbs to cities cause commutes which result in stress, road rage etc and actually has negatively impacted the American life expectancy.
