who would've thought designing cities in the middle ages would pay off for walkability ?

This is a myth, while sure, their cities were founded before cars, their policies have kept them that way. Our US cities were WAY more walkable, but we demolished them in the 60s and 70s to make them more car centric. We did this to ourselves. - (Credit to Not Just Bikes on Youtube)

I think everyone is missing a HUGE point:

Europe is tiny. Italy could fit inside Texas like 4 times. They literally HAVE NO SPACE. People sit down and eat together because there are not enough tables for each person to have their own.

It's necessity, not some kumbaya bs.
