That's just the short term solution to restoring some of the natural social organization that modern life has destroyed.
Cities in general, need to be restructured in long term, to be less like massive hives of humanity, and more like what they used to be, during the classical era, merely centers of commerce, politics and so on, and not as the mainstay habitat of most of humanity. In that era, most people lived in the countryside and farmed, thus they had strong ties to the land and nature. City people of modern era, lack that entirely.
People need to move back to living closer to nature, where shit like the patterns of weather, change of seasons etc matters to more than just how you dress up when you go outside. Obviously, we cannot go back to agrarian communities, as farming is increasingly industrial, and will probably be completely automated within the next 50 years if technology keeps it's course. In general, nearly all physical labor will be made redundant due to automation, which will leave people purposeless should we not restructure our method of social organization.
These "nu-agrarian" villages would thus at most, involve maintenance and monitoring duties for the actual argrarian work done by machines, while other jobs within those communities would be either services for the other denizens, and long distance work done via the internet.
tl;dr, I want a sort of decentralization away from cities, where people live closer to nature in more close nit familiar communities, while still being in touch to the city world via instant communication and fast methods of public travel. I basically see a sort of restoration of how the Greek city states worked with the surrounding farm estates, just with slave labor replaced by machines.
