I'm in Rome right now and the city has amazing bones, but this is by far the most car-brained, car choked city I've ever visited. Worse than Manhattan. Worse than Paris. It's like it has all the right ingredients to be an amazing urbanist paradise, but they decided to treat it like a North American, car-centric city. Roads, sidewalks, crosswalks, all jammed with cars. And the streets are so loud. Great infrastructure ruined by cars.
Very useful & interesting, as Toronto moves to increase density.
