How did they avoid decrepitude, teardown and new construction?

They don't let greedy developers run amok wherever they like. New construction happens out on the peripheries. City centers are carefully preserved and slowly modernized where suitable.

By refusing to capitulate to the automobile.

They have sacrificed access, roads and parking.

But they sure are neat.....
