Even the most pedestrian-friendly cities in the US (New York, DC, Boston) are really fundamentally designed for cars. I would love to have something like La Rambla[0] in Barcelona, a major thoroughfare given over completely to pedestrian traffic. There are many shopping/nightlife districts that could benefit from such a situation. Glad to see places like DC experimenting with widening sidewalks to help with social distancing[1] and hopeful that such changes become permanent!
