That is still a lot better than most countries on this list can say. Canada for example has the same goal but almost no walkable neighbourhoods, barely any transit and car centric planning and lifestyles. Canada is also larger and has a smaller population. I'm not certain the grid is ready for the switch. Of all the countrys on the map, japan seems to be one of the most prepared.

Unfortunately rural areas will almost always favour the car, however town/village centers should still be walkable.
