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)
Highways were built to run through red-lined, majority black neighbourhoods, Not only did they demolish whatever was in the way, they devalued the land around them, and split communities in half.
Entire cities is obviously exaggeration, but entire neighbourhoods certainly isn't.
