Corso Milano (20 m RoW), one of the main suburban arterials in Verona versus Beatrixlaan (60 meters of RoW...plus canals), just one among many monster-wide in Delft
Yep, Italian urbanism is maxxed to build standalone 5-6 stories palazzine (taller in cities like Rome, shorter in smaller cities)
Rome's interwar Garden City "Città Giardino Aniene" vs a random oversized suburban intersection in Delft
They probably wouldn't be so culturally shocked, especially if they can reach a fake cute little city center that acts as the commercial core of their area.
This is the single largest intersection I could find in Verona within the built-up area (left). The other one is just the modal intersection in Delft, a city slightly smaller
How many postwar Rome's intensive "palazzine" can you fit in a single suburban intersection is Delft from the same era?

Well, I don't know if I would frame it as deterministic as a path, but for sure purely on space-availability it's easier for Canads and the US to adopt Dutch road design and traffic management approaches than it is for Italian cities, for example.
But it's the only one in Verona of that size. Nothing comparable within the built city fabric
The urbanism of postwar Verona vs the urbanism of postwar Delft's car-oriented
Absolutely this! Everyone is cheering the transformation of that one street back to a canal in Utrecht, but the modal Dutch city's transportation landscape and land use looks like this. America with bike lanes and better transit. It's an extremely land-intensive transportation paradigm!
