Unfortunately, I suspect that the biggest factor is planning around automotive traffic v. planning around pedestrian traffic. That sort of public space is harder to maintain when people have to find a pay for parking for it. That's unfortunate because it's going to be very difficult to undesign our reliance on cars.In this case, it's probably a difference in city planning that enables it to happen in Europe as opposed to America.
