Hell, even central, urban Paris has dropped in population over the last 60 years. But that's not something you'd notice drinking Kronenbourgs at a café in the 11th arrondissement.
The desire for private, personal space is not unique to North Americans, but it's far easier to accommodate the desire on our continent.
