> You'd never build a "modern city" like Philadelphia, with its narrow one-way streets, lack of parking, and commercial and retail mish-mashed together.

Be it one-lane roads, be it building mixed use buildings, etc – these projects are all either built this year, or still under construction.

It’s not a global issue, definitely more of a US issue.
