The argument concludes that the geography of cities would be very different if cars hadn’t been widely used. This is because cities were designed with lots of space to allow for the use of cars.

The argument fails to prove that, without cars, cities would have been designed differently. The wide use of cars caused cities to be designed with lots of open space, but something else could have also caused them to be designed that way. While it’s possible that, without the wide use of cars, cities would have ended up with very different geography, the premises don’t prove that they definitely would have.

This describes how the argument fails to consider the fact that there could be other causes that would result in cities being designed with lots of space. It’s entirely possible that, even without cars, the geography of cities would still be similar.

The argument's conclusion isn't about any other facets of modern life. The conclusion is about the geography of cities.

The argument doesn’t presume that cars are the only influence on the design of cities. It just notes that they had a significant effect. The flaw is failing to consider that they may not be the only thing that could have that effect.

This is irrelevant. The argument refers to malls to support the idea that their design was influenced by the use of cars. It doesn’t matter whether or not the extra space is actually required.

The argument never makes any claim about what people want; it’s about how the use of cars affects the geography of cities.
