The best hope we can have is that new developments should be required to aspire to this ideal and we will get there over time.
I don't regard it a dream; I regard it a necessity. The dereliction of duty lies in not moving with the times to accommodate the millions who now cycle not least to improve fitness levels and confront the obesity epidemic and pollution. Have you considered the cost of not realising that 'dream'? This is not something we should aspire to; it is something we should make happen.

Our old infrastructure could do with some furious and wanton improvement.

And that is true. Paint on the roads does not constitute proper cycle lanes. The paint is ignored by motorists and often dangerous to cycle (gutters, accumulated material, pot holes, parked cars, poor maintenance etc).
