You have a very rosy view of "the rest of the world." The truth is that "the rest of the world" includes a vast array of different urban environments, some of which are very well-planned and executed, and others of which are, not so much, shall we say. This binary between the US and "the rest of the world" is bullshit and is intellectually lazy. I can only think that you have no formal education in urban studies.

The binary is between the parts of the world that had the resources and technology to build mass transit and decided not to, and the rest of the world that did. It just happens to fall into America vs. the rest of the world.

I don't know why you want to throw in jabs about random people's education level. That is super weird.
