It actually works surprisingly well in the residential "superblocks" because the apartment buildings are all raised on pillars so you can walk in a straight line between any two arbitrary points within a superblock, there are plenty of trees and parks, and the local commercial zones are easily accessibly by foot. But then when you get to the center with the bus station and government buildings it's a mass of huge roads and wide open spaces choked with exhaust fumes that's very unpleasant to walk around.
