      So we simply dissolve cities instead? Without inflow of goods, workers, and customers cities are not able to survive.

        Goods:

        Rail, tram, cargo bikes interconnected at re-implemented logistic centres.

        Workers:

        Public transport, (electric) bicycles

        Customers:

        Retail will change, but cities will not lose their function of overspecialisation.

          Nice fantasy. Nobody will pay for the first, the second will be a complete illusion with the current state of public transport (and how you want to get people with 30+ km commute one way to bike, even electric, will remain an unsolved riddle). The only thing with the third is, you are right, it will change, I.e. it will kill off in-city retail completely.
