Problem

Large supermarkets often sit too far away for the daily walk; where they are the only source of supply, many residents, especially those without a car, are cut off from everyday life.

Solution

Scatter small neighborhood shops for everyday needs within walking distance across the whole district, so they keep it alive and provisioned where distant supermarkets leave people stranded.
