Why We Should Design Cities Like Disney | Zach DeBoer | TED
Where you live shapes your relationships, your emotions and even how long you live, says community designer Zach DeBoer. After studying what a century of building cities around cars has done to downtowns in the US, he turned to lessons from some of the most walkable, carefully designed streets in the country: the ones inside…

I agree that it would be nice if we built beautiful cities again. But I get the empression that you would like to force businesses to build the things that you want them to build. And forcing others to do things is wrong. It’s authoritarian, oppressive, and it fundamentally interferes with our freedoms.

@BonnieShadow33 the authoritarians always love to say it’s voluntary until people say no. Then it’s suddenly compulsory.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard…. Roads got built because of cars. Cars did not force the bicyclists off the roads because there were no roads before cars not really.
@pij3333
October 25, 2026 at 11:49 am
Yeah, why don’t these idiots get it? All those roads from before cars were invented were obviously not meant to be used until the cars came around. They were just planning ahead a few hundreds/thousands of years.

So… is the ancient Great Roman Road through England not a road, then?

@BonnieShadow33yeah it was built for bicycles.

@andrewmcintyre9722 …. The Romans had chariots, not bicycles…. But still, you agree that it was a *road*, right?

State Street in Santa Barbara, CA is a perfect example of this philosophy, especially ever since 2021 when they made an 8 block section car-free, only allowing bikes & pedestrians. Now there’s musicians busking, food, arts & craft vendors, increased foot traffic, window shopping, and farmer’s markets on Tuesdays & Saturdays. County fairs & amusement parks don’t have cars constantly driving by. Downtown areas should feel like a dense village where everyone gathers, both locals & tourists. Disneyland is not just an homage to the way American towns & cities once were, but they borrow heavily from much older European theme parks like Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark which opened in 1843.

This is like many European cities. Take a look at Amsterdam for example. We can walk or cycle everywhere. Narrow roads etc.

Amsterdam is amazing! I got to visit once. Walking around was super easy and I loved the bike tour. I couldn’t believe they had traffic lights for bikes!

I’m out at those lay lines. they don’t slow anyone down. People will drive through them and bike lanes. So what is the population density of a Disney neighborhood?
@BonnieShadow33
October 26, 2026 at 10:46 am
My city put bike lanes in a couple years ago, and while some people do drive through them, it’s getting better over time. Of course, police enforcement can help with that.

Proponents of car-centered development should recognize how costly this planning direction has become for taxpayers, as many cities risk bankruptcy while trying to sustain road networks, particularly when populations move or decrease. Furthermore, on top of wasting our shared tax dollars, the infrastructure is unattractive, requires frequent maintenance, and is vastly more dangerous when compared to alternatives. Urban residents in the United States, however, must consider the problem of public safety and the need for zero-tolerance policing, as the ambient violence we tolerate differs starkly from Asian and European societies with more traditional urban planning. If American cities grew reliably safer, suburban residents might not feel compelled to stay outside city limits. We also require mass transit that is dependable and extensive beyond a few urban centers and regional routes, by building ahead of ridership demand. The economics of these efforts cannot and should not depend on private capital at the outset, but the indirect economic benefits of linking communities and enabling new developments save in the long term without the costly, inefficient maintenance of decaying auto infrastructure.

The part that stayed with me was Walt sitting alone on a park bench, watching all the other grown-ups watch their children play, and thinking there ought to be a place where parents and children could have fun together. I don’t think I’d ever heard that story quite that way before, and it made the whole idea of designing streets for people, not just cars, feel so much more personal. If we can build towns where families actually want to linger together, that’s a kind of magic worth working for.

What a delightful design brief: take the places people happily queue for hours in and ask what our cities could learn from them. Walkability, intuitive wayfinding, playful details and spaces designed around human experience rather than cars sound obvious, yet so few towns manage it. Whether or not we want full theme park energy on the high street, the underlying question about designing for joy and ease is a genuinely serious one. Fascinating idea, well pitched.

My city, here in eastern Iowa, is already implementing the majority of these strategies. One of the many things I love about it, and one of the many reasons I hope I never have to leave.
