Streets in all medieval towns around Europe tend to be narrow because they were put in place before wagons and other wheeled vehicles were prevalent. They didn't need to be wide so they made the towns more compact. Because they were more compact they required shorter walls to surround and protect the town. Shorter walls were less expensive to construct and easier to defend.
