I think it has to do more with the modern world building up their infrastructure much later than the United States did. Late to the game, in this case, isn't bad since you'd be using newer technology. The United States (government and corporations) that built the infrastructure years ago don't have a reason to upgrade. People are forced to continue using it.

Government. Businesses have only one reason for existing - maximize profits. They will do anything to do so, which is great! But the problem is the "anything" portion.
I've come to the conclusion that, unfortunately, government regulation is necessary. For example, look at China and their lack of pollution regulation. Cities in the US might have got to that point if it weren't for regulations (in the 70s?).
Another problem that isn't covered in this article is the, generally, uncaring public but that is a rant for another time, I think.
