That's simply not true. There needs to be a balance, not a priority. If you build a city that is made for pedestrians, how do you leave it from the center? City design nowadays has this "we are only a 500m across plaza" vibe whereas in reality the cities sprawl over tens if not hundreds of km. You cannot make that walkable and you cannot design a transportation system that is as flexible as roads and individual vehicles. Also, people like to own stuff and have the freedom to use it whenever. So if you want to create a city for human beings you need to create a parking space that puts cars out of the way and create roads that are peaceful.
