The lack of on-street parking was something I noticed visiting Japan. Streets can be much smaller when they don't have 20-24 feet of parking. In the US, a massive percentage of our most valuable land goes to subsidized vehicle storage. It's insane.

Narrower streets, wider sidewalks, more trees.
Actually most minor streets in Tokyo have no sidewalk. You can just walk on the street.
Cars drive through slowly, of course.
