*Urban districts where 5+ floor high buildings will be standard. Each building will need at least a grocer and a restaurant. The buildings need to be tightly packed much like Paris
*Inter-city rail extended to the Tucson mountains
*High Speed rail connecting to San Diego, L.A. and Las Vegas.
*Stricter building codes with thicker sound proof walls, rain water reclamation systems and certified green (solar in every house)
*More outdoor man-made landmarks such as Tucson's own Eiffel Tower
*Require modern unique skyscrapers within downtown proper
*Spacious walkways/plazas by the Santa Cruz River
*Fill the Santa Cruz River with water
*2 crosstown freeways with art along the freeway
more to come ...
Please note to disregard the costs, politics etc... It's a concept.

unfortunately politics and costs are the most important part. How are you going to fund these projects? until you can get that source, these concepts will remain just that. CONCEPTS!
