They mean building infrastructure that is able to sustain more trips per hour while also reducing the risk of deadly collisions, noise and air pollution.

By providing convenient and safe infrastructure for people who walk, take transit and bike around we gain safer more pleasant neighborhoods that also allow more people to get around in their neighborhood.

The risk of deadly collisions, particularly when most people are going 30-50 km/h in the city and driving modern cars, is already low.

Modern cars are also quiet with emissions nothing like the cars of our grandparents.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by trips per hour and how one is supposed to conveniently commute outside of one's neighborhood, particularly with small children and shopping?
