Agreed on policy. That's what I was getting at with my clumsy "procedural mechanism is certainly transferrable" bit.

And I'm not denying that there's room for nuance. I'm simply suggesting that city-wide initiatives might be easier to roll out if you were looking at high density across a large area. My point regarding Greater London was that it achieves high density across a large area, would be my point. Greater London is 1,572 km², while Ward 2 is 6.1km². Hamilton's lower densities arguably promotes widespread car use viable; from what I've been able to surmise, Londoners are more typically pedestrian.

Size isn't everything, of course. Being compact (Ward 2 is about 14 blocks wide) is can help concentrate finite production values.
