So you take an empty office tower. Make the first two floors shops and services and the remaining floors housing and voila you have in instant walkable community.

Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.

I don't understand the issue of bedrooms without a window. I once lived in a tiny studio apartment with a windowless bedroom. The total dark and silence gave me the best undisturbed sleep I ever had.

Fire codes generally require that bedrooms have 2 exits.

If I exit my bedroom through the window I fall to my death. Not sure how that helps me in a fire.

That worked out ok for one of the 9/11 jumpers. Maybe you could be the next one!

And those rooms could be used for storage, goods and services.
