Of course, car dependent society makes sense for no country in this current world. Yet, many society makes the mistake of becoming one.
For example, I have seen a lot of empty lot in the Chinese cities has been transformed into large wide roads, much wider than most roads contructed before it.
That being said, I have not been in China for a while. I will definitely look closer next time I am here.
For me, I think the major problem is still the culture. China largely follows America’s culture 30 years ago, where car and single family is see as a symbol of wealth and power. Hopefully with the internet, people will realize that urban living is much more efficient and, most of the time, better for mental health.
