Barcelona has 1.6 million vs Londons 8+ million. Also Barcelonas street layout was mostly designed in one go, whereas London’s street plan just kind of congealed over the centuries.

Also Barcelona has terrible air pollution.



That's why London should be opening more roads instead of closing the very few they have, while Barcelona can afford having more pedestrian segments.

Instead London decided to put bus lanes and bike lanes and wider sidewalks

Very ecological but fatal for the city, which has the worst commute speeds anywhere in Europe.

That's a competitive economy? Nope!!


Nonsense. Traffic speed is not proportional to a competitive economy.
