This is a worthy inquiry. I encourage you to read Blake Pagenkopf and his books on political alignment. He adds a bottom-up/top-down framework to the liberal/conservative spectrum. It explains to me why I find it so easy to work with bottom-up liberals (despite our different motivations) and why I find most top-down conservative thinkers to be horrible for America.
Also look at the tenets of the Congress for the New Urbanism www.cnu.org. For almost 30 years, architects, planners and developers have pursued these ideas to create coherent, walkable towns and neighborhoods across the U.S.

Thanks for reading! I agree, that is a valuable framework that can create room for collaboration.
