Which makes it an exceptionally poor case study for our purposes.

Also, Japan is about the size of California while America is one of the largest countries on Earth.

Yes, no place is exactly like the U.S. And no two humans are alike either but that doesn't mean we can't test medicines, for example.

What specifically about urban environments in Japan and Europe won't work in the US?

Are you planning to raze the existing homes, infrastructure, roads, etc.? If so I don't know how it's comparable.
