He makes a number of good points, but he goes on and on. I quit reading before he got to a workable solution.

We can't all have beach resorts but we can rent them for a week or two or longer if you have the time and money.
So today we have similar strategies like car-share instead of car ownership.

I managed to read the whole article. Sure, just as relevant today as it was in 1973.
I don't know if we can ever get to the Utopian cities he imagines where 'schoolchildren spend several hours a day tending to community gardens and where we'd live in a federation of communities surrounded by green space.' The car is too far entrenched as a vital organ in our current society.
