This is what I was thinking. I believe the movie Her uses an ultra-dense future Los Angeles where the main (human) character lives and works in high-rises, and walks between them on elevated walkways[1] as the location. An elevated walkway that zig-zagged across the road and had stairs to the regular sidewalk once or twice a block seems like an interesting approach.
