Suburbs and rural to some extent are car centeic as well. Its a matter of packing buldings in a tighter fashion so that the distance between vital places is not long.

Think like apartment buildings and universities. Those who live near universities often opt to not drive because anything they would do often is nearby. Eat. Socialize, do some shopping, education.
