Well yeah, Century City itself is auto-oriented. Avenue of the Stars is as wide as a freeway and there's no on-street parking allowed anywhere in CC. There are high-rise residential towers in CC towards the Pico Blvd. end, but you never see people walking in Century City. It's very sterile and almost eerie, especially at night; to me it always had the look out of a science-fiction movie where somehow a bomb killed all the people and made them disappear but left the buildings and landscaping intact.
I doubt it'll become pedestrian-oriented anytime soon, and if it does, it'll only be along the Santa Monica Blvd. end because of the retail. Santa Monica Blvd., itself along that stretch is also as wide as a freeway with the same speeding traffic.
