I discovered Lelystad, in NL which was built on a blank parcel of recovered inland seabed
laid out the housing , so getting on your bike , and going out the back gate , the route was quite direct
Where if you went out the front door , and got in your car you encountered a maze of intersecting cul-de-sacs ..
so the town plan discouraged car use..
US of course trashed urban trolleys because the gas rubber and car/bus companies pushed them out, to privatize.
killing its opposition.. then suburbia was built around selling cars.
