We found this even within Canada. We were in Southern Ontario where its car centric and planners and developers just built roads and homes by pulling all the trees out and putting grass in. We often drove down to a coffee shop a few blocks away because the walk was dull.
Moved to Vancouver area and there is a transit system, and walkable cities. While its not like the endless plaza shown in the video, being able to walk everywhere and with beautifully landscaped areas (not to mention the natural beauty) gets us outdoors and enjoying it.















Montreal for sure
