Interesting, I didn't know that.

I mean, it also has to be a little bit because they didn't let the car companies demolish the whole city and replace it with parking lots in the 1960s, right?

Well, yeah nobody would thought to destroy this kind of valuable architecture for parking. We did get some aweful towers in other districts though, like Montparnasse tower.

In the US, people definitely thought destroying valuable architecture for parking (and highways) was a great idea. It's heartbreaking what we've lost.
