    Speaking as an ignoramus, I have the feeling the “American school” of urbanisation was quite popular around the world, and screwed us all, Americans and non-Americans, for decades. Maybe rich cities can build a highway underground, but poor cities, the fastest growing right now, can’t even provide enough water to its citizens.

  6. @microproductions6

    November 12, 2024 at 7:25 pm

    Counterpoint: No, the Big Dig was not worth it. Removing the elevated highway was certainly worth it, but moving it underground simply serves to continue to make it easy for people to drive directly in to the center of the city, all while being more expensive to maintain than an elevated highway. Even if there were no problems with the project and it was finished on time and within budget, it still would not be worth it because of the aforementioned issues. I can maybe see a case for it if there were no on/off ramps within the city center, but as it is now there are, and they take up a lot of space and dump cars directly into the city. The only tunnel that should have been built was for the North-South Rail Link, which originally was supposed to be built along with this project.

      November 12, 2024 at 8:05 pm

      I agree that the tunnel should not have on off ramps within the city center

    Brasilia was built before people move to there.

  13. @rararaspberry691

    November 12, 2024 at 7:39 pm

    5:57 I imagine when we move to mars or any other planet if we ever do, we will have pre-built cities but even then cities will shape themselves as they grow.

    7:20 “Let the car deal with it”…..? Uhh, the car just doesn’t suddenly ””’vanish”””.

    It’ll be on the street – being traffic and wasting energy. 🙃🙃

    Concrete ditches instead of rivers are some of the ugliest things that are in some of our cities and many countries. 
    There’s many people who would love to walk along paths by the river in a park, but almost no one would like to walk along a ditch. It becomes even uglier because if it’s a ditch, a lot of people who don’t throw their trash in a trashcan just throw it in the ditch.

    Boring probably is a legit company, its just ran by an egotistical idiot. Get someone else in there and there may be potential.

    Come at me Muskrat fans, idgaf.

    I have to question the critical thinking skills of an urban planner who thinks self-driving cars can solve traffic problems. It’s a single occupancy vehicle that takes up as much space as a train car.
