Some European cities with millions of citizen can have a similar footprint of North American cities of just hundreds of thousand of people. It's more dense.
Sprinkle a bit of mixed used zoning, bike infrastructure and public transport on top.
I live in the outskirts of a city of almost 300 000, and can be in city center by bike in 20 minutes. I'm at work in 10 minutes.
Copenhagen:
• City 183.20 km2 (70.73 sq mi)
• pop 1,366,301
• Density 4,417.65/km2 (11,441.7/sq mi)
Kansas City, Missouri:
• City 318.80 sq mi (825.69 km2)
• pop 508,090
• Density 623.31/km2 (1,614.38/sq mi )
