Late 30s, father, just not "urban". The best layout I've seen was in Amsterdam - every neighborhood had it's own local pub, local coffeehouse, and small grocery, all eminently walkable/bikeable. Neighbors knew each other and socialized regularly. The "small town feel" was nailed pretty well, IMHO, while still being in a bustling urban center.

This is the case in many, if not most, major (and some not so major) European cities. I've lived in Berlin & Vienna for the past ~decade and a half & it's certainly true here (worse cycling infrastructure than Amsterdam tho).

I'll bet this is also the case for cities in developed east Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan & South Korea as well.
