Why
Driving (and other passenger transport) is a major contributor to climate change. Electric vehicles are not necessarily better for the environment in the near future.
If neighborhoods were designed better, people wouldn't need to drive so much.
General principles
A neighborhood should have:
Considerations
- Environmental impact of new construction - not as bad as driving, but still significant.
- It would be better to repurpose existing buildings instead, whenever possible.
- Walkability can & should be achieved without demolishing existing homes/buildings.

FAQ
"Are you trying to take away my car, you filthy commie?"
No. We're just trying to design your neighborhood so that you don't need to drive as much, so you can save some money.
"But aren't 15-minute cities just a way for the globalists to try and control everyone?"
I have no idea what are the motivations of the global elites, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Having things within 15 minutes from home is a good idea.
