Illegal Walkable Urbanism

Text on the meme

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build underneath most American cities

What it means

A detailed, colorful map of interconnected underground spaces is presented as an example of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism. The joke is that American building codes and city planning rules would make this dense underground city illegal, despite its efficient design. It is used as a reaction to criticize car-centric urban planning and restrictive zoning.
