Is it about time for Europeans to modernise their cities?
Is it about time for Europeans to modernise their cities?
Who cares, let the new European people worry about it.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE OLD BUILDERINO, NOT THE HISTORY!
Thank fuck my entire town is protected under about 900 laws and regulations.
Based. Gorbachev, tear down those antiquated buildings!
Yeah lets replace em with structurally inferior cardboard boxes that you can stuff 10x as many immigrants in and do even more money laundering when they collapse.
Why? If the buildings have survived centuries, then they must be structurally sound.
lovely
AYOOO WHERE THE SUBURBS AT
Nah, not because of history, but because modern designed cities on flat plains are genuinely terrible
The best cities for quality of life tend to be stuck between geographical barriers, like rivers/mountains/oceans - this leads to dense housing and walkable cities
Otherwise you tend to get endless suburbia like the yanks
It is the old cities with their dense cores (because everyone had to walk everywhere when they were built) that are the best to live in by far, compare with towns like cumbernauld or stevenage, total shite car based towns, or places like york or stirling, genuinely decent walkable towns
The architecture isn't the problem, it is the spread out city designs that come with new architecture. One city that has done it right is Glasgow, a decent mix of modern and old, and pretty damn liveable
The car really fuck up urban design to be honest senpai a lam
This. It's nice that my town is car free for the most part. Nothing larger than a mini cooper (the old ones) can fit down most streets kek.
If I could go back in time, I would kill whoever invented the car. It's especially bad here the further west you go. My city only really experienced growth after it was common for people to own cars. It takes me 15-20 minutes to get to even the closest places to me and our city is stained with ugly parking lots and garages.
hello visbyanon. how are things in the isle of the goths ?
r/unpopularopinion is easily the most retarded sub on leddit
it's like the worst american bait except they actually are that fucking stupid
sounds shitty
>There's a reason why we regularly reconfigure office spaces here in the bay area. It has a major impact on productivity and effectiveness and clarity in thought. I

Imagine having a 5000 year old history and cities consisting of ant colonies
It's nice. Even calmer than usual with the lack of tourists.
City feels almost like it's gone back to medieval times right now. Foggy, few people in the street and the smell fireplaces being lit.
He is 50% right.
>One city that has done it right is Glasgow
Aside from the massive fucking motorway that cuts through the city centre because they were too stupid for a proper ring road.
that cold still ? whats the temperature there atm
maybe, but no one should listen to a fucking r*dditors opinion on anything
((()))
It's 4 degrees here now. Days are a bit warmer, around 10-12 degrees but spring is still struggling.
>Noooo, where are the shopping mallerinos!?! Not the good car parks!
wtf lol
I remember this drama, didn't it boil down to him crying there weren't enough ground-level parking lots and thus moving around seemed very slow and inconvenient? A clear troll
What will those laws ans regulations help when I purchase property and bulldoze it, then hop the border and catch a flight home
It's one of "those" years it seems like. A nordic summer down to the core. North winds blowing, the sea is dark grey and the skies equally grey.
Good luck, nothing is for sale without proper vetting and before you buy anything to have to sign multiple contracts declaring you will not harm nor change the building you have purchased. Even drilling holes in the walls require a permit in many of the older houses.
Entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We also have some of the most expensive euro/square meter prices in the world here.
A small tiny house can easily run you 2-3 million dollars.
It's not legal to destroy cultural heritage even if you own it, try bombing it or something
Why would you pay money to bulldoze it and where would you get a bulldozer?
Not him but it's fucking snowing here in the north, been snowing all week
what's it like, being able to walk to school/work/stores?
