>In the US in particular, eyballing the number of cars and the number of pedestrians in images of places like New York etc that I've seen You sound like a non-American. Let me give you some advice: take everything you've ever seen about NYC, and file that in a different place in your brain's filing system away from your file labeled "America". It does not represent America in any way when talking about cars, walkability, culture, or really anything else really. It's a place that's totally unique in the world. For some reason, too many non-Americans see movies set in NYC and think that all of America is just like this, and it isn't at all. (Personally, I wish it was more representative of America in terms of walkability, but it just isn't.)
