Serious question (not rhetorical). Do you think this a problem could be that large, international cities tend to copy US cities or do you think that they themselves become homogenous with one another? Former West Germany is also a particularly egregious example of US influence due to our historical involvement there.

I don't know, but having lived in Germany for a while, I prefer the German way of shopping in the Alt Stadt. I've often thought that if I designed a planned community, I'd model it after an Alt Stadt. Complete with town wall and a moat, of course!
