EZPZ, just ban cars from the city. Install public parking outside the city and put in buses and trains and small vehicle lanes (bikes, scooters, microcars, etc., electric or human-powered only) with 25MPH speed limits. Look up "park and ride" to see how this works, we already have it. It works in Texas the same as anywhere else. The infrastructure will naturally adapt to the change.
Also get rid of all the SFH zoning in town and let the market decide what type of housing people want (or more accurately, can afford).
This is a solved problem. The only hurdle is human culture. People who don't give a shit about public safety or their environment, and just want personal comfort above all else. That and vested interests in the automotive industry like Melon.
So not a solved problem?
The problem that was inquired about was "how you see this transition taking place", and "ways to fix urban areas", not "how to convince people this is a good idea".
