Very cool! You'd never see that in the US where we just LOVE our cars too much to ever give them up (and the way our cities are designed it's nearly impossible anyway).

The article says:
Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called “smart planning.”
They have these in the US? I gotta look into that.
