Another factor to consider is the age of the cities involved. Most European cities predate cars, while many American cities were built up after or during the the rise of the automobile.

"Most European cities predate cars"

I suspect that only applies to the cores of European cities - most have got much larger since the car was invented and the newer areas were definitely designed with cars in mind.

e.g. Maps of Edinburgh over a few centuries:

Even in the 1920s Edinburgh was pretty small compared to its current extent.
