Instead of making areas strictly "residential", allow them to have small scale shops and restaurants so that these areas become "parts of town" and a "way of life". I love my neighborhood, with mature trees, and 60 year old houses... but there is nothing for me to do here except walk my dog. I can't walk to get a coffee and sit out on a patio, or stroll in and out of shops. I don't spend any time in my neighborhood because real life needs me to run errands or be out and about doing other things.
