1. Work to increase urban densities to 25 dwellings per hectare (via rules on new subdivisions, as well as incentives for infilling brownfield and greyfield areas)

2. Limit new developments (industrial, residential and commercial) on existing farmland to soil grades of 3 or worse.

3. Give incentives and change zoning regulations for developers to build subdivisions that are defined by the New Urbanism paradigm (more mixed commercial/residential, more open public spaces, more residential density, more pedestrian friendly roads, etc.)
