  1. Meanwhile in 3rd world countries... I have a feeling that the reason why US 'cities' are soo huge is just out of the sheer amount of lawn they have.

  2. Sadly the US never saw the suburban railway mania. Growth came a bit later for trains to be able to rule the roost, and even then the railways are often located just at-grade to the roads.

  3. Or it could be like a "green belt" around the cities. Us ? Haha, no, it's just endless sea of houses very close to each other. Does give you impressive population desity though (30,000 ppl/sq mi !)

  4. Automobile usage partly helped in making people living more sparsely possible. And that indirectly made for larger plots being available. I know property prices in the outskirts are really cheap there.
