US by far. Practically all your cities follow a grid.

What about walkable cities?
>>61769207
Just because they're in a grid, doesn't mean they are well planned. Grids have too many intersections for example.

that looks like a shithole
highly doubt that is the US

I like grids, they're orderly and easy to navigate. A lot don't look very nice though, I'll give you that.
well planned cities are boring and lifeless

It depends. St.Petersburg seems pretty lively. Especially for a Russian city
Well planned cities are mostly new and most european cities are old so definitely not Europe.

"heh"
>>61769157
Because most cities in Europe and Asia are hundreds of years old and a lot of the roads and structures were just built on top of pre-existing ones. The result is a clusterfuck.
USA and Canada have really well-planned cities because they're pretty new so your ancestors planned ahead instead of being lazy cunts like ours.

all american cities are designed for cars, not good planning
>>61777178
not at all, San Francisco New York ect are a huge pain in the ass to drive in because of the narrow streets and traffic

Well, one thing is how the grid looks from above, for example Santiago's gov house and the avenue looks like shit from above, but if you see them at ground level, you are in for a surprise.
Urban planning is not something you decide out of the nothing, Europe has cities that already followed a plan of construction since the Middle Ages. Back then, the churches ruled the urban center, and people would knew where did they stand because all you had to do was to look to the sky and search for the tallest building, even though the streets were small. People would then start over and evict a few house to modernize everyhting, see Napoleon III and Haussmann's renovation of Paris for example. It was quite hard to pull, because you already had a city there.
In the USA, it's easier to do, because urbanism already started when they go there. You can see carefully planned cities, and you must consider the distance between them in America. America is way bigger than Europe, and some cities must follow an urban planning according to that, because some services won't be near your town.
Anyway, USA is really important to urbanism because it's like starting in a new canvas after learning how to build a city.

The average San Francisco street isn't narrow.

The average SF street is a Ph.D. dissertation in Geology waiting to be vetted
