MODERATORS
I reckon being bombed to oblivion during World War 2 gave opportunity for re-designing their cities.
Not at all, at least in the case of Japan. Most of their roads are old and narrow, designed before cars were a thing.
The opposite was the case in Germany, sadly. Partly because of the destruction in WW2, the city planners in the late 50s went a bit nuts with their concept of the „autogerechte Stadt“, the car-centric city. Many cities still suffer from that period of planning madness, but it gets better. At least there, where conservative shits like the CDU aren't ruling.
