In her TEDxPhilly talk, "Moving from The Grand Vision to The Grand Adjustment," architecture critic Inga Saffron challenges cities to prioritize existing dwellers over skyscraper fantasies. She argues for a shift in focus towards improving urban amenities.

Saffron advocates for upgrading transit, adding bike lanes, increasing walkability, and creating great parks and public plazas. She believes density and sustainability can be achieved through a range of densities, not just skyscrapers, citing successful mid-rise buildings. Cities must be flexible and adaptable.
