anthony : Brasilla, the first wholly modernist designed city, was built w/o sidewalks.

Yes and no. There are plenty of pedestrian paths to walk along. They just aren't alongside the roads. And when you think about it, if you have a choice, where would you prefer to walk? I'm also impressed by the fact that every Sunday, the central motorway is closed for pedestrians, who can then jog, cycle, scooter, and occasionally have stalls and concerts along it.
