Fixing the Most DENSELY Populated Country in the World... (Mini Motorways)

[@realemperorkuzco]

Manila is one of those cities that would be put on a City Planner Final Exam, and you have to fix all of its problems or fail.

As a Filipino I was confused on what a motorway was, until I saw it floating, IT WAS A SKY WAY

[@Ryu1478Alternative]

Yeh we call it Skyway

[@Liggliluff]

Yeah the game really needs to use different terms based on county. It also shouldn't use the US highway shield.

[@cyan-ida4206]

Skyway sounds cooler imo hahaha

[@orangelake2268]

Why does it have the US Major Shield? It should have what we use here: signs that tell you where its going

[@Liggliluff]

@@orangelake2268 Exactly. It annoys me quite a bit when symbolism defaults to USA when it doesn't even reflect the most common symbolism in the world. Another example is how a lot of the world has agreed upon triangular warning signs, yet too often does icons default to the US diamond warning signs ...

Fun fact: Manila is so densely populated that there’s about 13 people per square foot. That means in a room the size of my (and a lot of) bedroom(s), there would be 130 people living. This is probably because of how many apartment buildings there are. Density accounts for length and width but not height!

There is a joke here in the Philippines mostly in the metro Manila area that the authorities build roads and then break them up by the next year and left them for years unrepair then they repair the road that lasts longer than a year then they will repeat it again It comes out to be a corruption scheme now it's rare to see it

It becomes super densely populated because manila or metro manila has become the center of economy ever since. Right from its colonization from spain, japan and america for about 380 years it becomes the center of trades. At those years, because it has the best access to the port, businesses grows there and even then people travels to manila for job opportunities. As years go by, the Philippines gain independence, and manila even grow its economy and more and more people go there to work. Because of its city's wealth, the government becomes greedy for incomes that they didn't mind managing the city. Even public transpo is super bad. That's why it becomes so crowded, densely populated and super traffic.
