Urban doesn’t always equal densely packed and density doesn’t always equal urban.
Although Disneyland lack the residential component to function as a real neighborhood, the crowds and walkablitiy score so high that it trumps any city outside of NYC. I thought the study was absurd at first but the more I think about it, the more i see it’s right.
Imagine having to LIVE on a daily bases with all those crowds and long lines. People touch shoulder to shoulder on the busiest days like if it were some super urban neighborhood. What do you guys think? Crazy or creditable?
3. To answer your question, Crazy. But you have a valid point that places can be urban without having lots of housing. I don’t know if a theme park is the best example though.
I would gladly post a link however my account is so new that City Data won’t allow me to until I gain a few rep points overtime. This is so City Data can eliminate spam advertising accounts.

They should try to build suburban communities wrapped like a circle with grocery stores, restaurants, churches, banks, etc wrapped around the circle's center and within 15 minute walk. It'd be good to build bike paths the width of an average 4 lane road. There should be sidewalks or pathways behind people's houses like a lot of older towns had for firetrucks.
The houses should be built as normal looking, family friendly and suburban looking houses with wide porches, white picket fence and at least a quarter acre lot. All the streets should have sidewalks and oak trees along the way. Don't build them ugly, hipster and elitist looking skyscrapers or townhouses they always building close to the big city downtowns.

Wait, you live in Florida, right?
The Walt Disney Company built a model town in your state that's supposed to be a model of what a new old-fashioned small town would look and function like.
It's called Celebration.
Anyone who saw the movie "The Truman Show" saw it - it was flimed there. It served as the "stage set" town for the raised-in-a-bubble, his-entire-life-was-a-TV-show title character.
