      What are you talking about? Not a beautiful area and some are probably ads but built for walkability not cars only no idea what you are trying to say with this. China does have some areas with unnecessarily enlarged highways you could have posted instead.

          Sorry that we’re not all American. That area was built before cars were a thing otherwise you bet there would be a huge road there. That’s why it’s walkable.

          No

          Also cities like that were designed specifically to stop revolutions after 1848. Another reason people like pedestrian zones in places like Europe is because you can make a ton of money off of real estate if you know the area is going to be designated a pedestrian zone before hand, and because it forces consumers to spend longer walking through commercial zones.

          No

          In Europe walkability and anti car design usually only happens in fancy urban areas.

          No

          The minute you live in a more rural area you’re completely fucked if you don’t have a car and public transport usually sucks ass outside of major cities. Or at least that’s the case where I live.

          No

          The reason for walkability being better in Europe is the direct result of the 1973 oil crisis
