Nah. Because car transportation is massively subsidised and the automotive industry is so influential, modern cities were built for cars instead of people.

Sure, we weren't "targeting non drivers", but we were exclusively building for cars.

We're now reaping what we sowed - cities are now hostile to pedestrians.
