What lesson from another city do you wish your city would adopt and start doing?

Good city planning is, by and large, just plagiarism. Somebody has a good idea, implements it, and then it spreads.

So, with that in mind, what's a policy or strategy that another city somewhere in the world uses, that you wish yours would use as well? It could be anything, a transportation strategy, a zoning rule, an architectural guideline, anything. Tell us your city (we haven't all memorized where everyone lives), and tell us what lesson you'd adopt and where it's from.

The key is to distill the strategy to the thing your city could mimic. Do NOT just say "I wish we'd build XYZ building" or "I'd plop ABC's city's transit system down on mine." Think about the thing you like about XYZ building or ABC transit system, and say how your city could accomplish something similar.
