The US was built for the individual car. That's what I consider a failure. Maybe it was not obvious back then, but retrospectively I think we can say it is a failure. In cities in Europe, you can actually walk. Many times you're faster by bike than by car. And public transportation works well (plus you can put your bike in the bus/tram/train if necessary). > it is incredibly difficult to retrofit onto winding lanes and tiny cobbled city streets. Agreed. But on top of making them more beautiful, the fact that it's harder to have 6 lanes full of cars is desirable to me.
