No, I wouldn't think of it in terms of emulation. I would think of it in terms of planting more trees and encouraging more use of non-driving modes. When people start to bike and walk around a pleasantly trees area, they automatically come up with other ideas for making life better, such as finding a job within a convenient car-free distance, or having shopping opportunities close by. The challenge is to get people thinking in terms of LCF, because they tend to just dismiss it if it's not already their preferred lifestyle.
