Interesting thread. I can't really contribute much as my city is already known for it's sprawl and is North American. But, I've seen suburbs in Europe and they look just as bad (or if anything slightly better but not much) as American. But, I never knew so much of cities like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, etc. were like this. Especially cities that are very liberal (which tends to mean focus on urban centres than suburbs, see Seattle, NYC, Madison, Boston, Vancouver, etc. vs Phoenix, Nashville, Atlanta, Houston, Jacksonville, etc.) or in liberal areas. And not to mention the fact that land is less scarce than wide open America or Canada or Austr.
