Read Ryan Gravel's (the Beltline guy) book at the beach over the weekend: https://www.amazon.com/Where-Want-Live-Reclaiming-Infrastructure/dp/1250078253.
Very Atlanta/Beltline specific. Highly recommend if you want to learn about the historical context of the birth of Beltline and the long-term goals of the project
> see a lot of the country as similar to us.

> you can't always walk safely in those cities.
Because we've eviscerated cities with car commuter infrastructure through very specific decisions that subsidize suburbs and artificially shift wealth and investment there.
You should consider reading Where We Want To Live for lots of good ideas around that or The Death and Life of Great American Cities to see just how old these ideas are.
I highly recommended a read on this book by Ryan Gravel the visionary of the beltline. https://www.amazon.com/Where-Want-Live-Reclaiming-Infrastructure/dp/1250078253
