If only American city designers actually followed these rules

[@overbeb]

Americans still think the future is with cars, battery powered ai cars at least, but still cars. When we should be incentivizing people to live in cities with better public transportation, we’re still figuring out how to spread out as much as possible.

[@_R_R_R]

@@overbeb The problem is, America relies on cars, especially because each state is the size of a European country, with a few exceptions

[@overbeb]

@@_R_R_R China is laying thousands of kilometers of new rail line for nation wide high speed rail network. This is something we could start doing here but unfortunately our government is too attached to financial interests that would stand to lose big on improving our public transportation infrastructure.

Well there is Irvine and Newport Coast in Southern California. The planning that went into that area was amazing, and the city is perfect and surprisingly it was a real estate investor that designed the city of Irvine.

[@ActuallyRocatex]

@@_R_R_R each state is big yes but cities are still the size of a city and unless you have good public transportation for local movement in and out of the city parts of the city become separated

I recommend taking a look at bike lanes and storage in dutch cities. also public transport. The cities in the netherlands are fully designed to make the usage bikes as convient as possible and american city planners are taking a lot of inspiration from it!

I actually like vanilla trees, it gives the sense of still being in Minecraft. Although it really depends on the style of your build/city, I like bright idealized worlds like those from cartoons over super realistic builds, though those have their own merits too.

[@Alpine1]

Me too! I’m more of a city guy, but I love a nice getaway in the mountains!

[@lilia3944]

That makes sense! I live in the suburban are of a city, so we have a (fairly small) forest near my house, but also access to places (which for me are climbing gym and fencing, mainly, those priorities will probably change when I'm older...). I do want to live in the mountains tho, we have a holiday house there so we're there most holidays, and I kind of feel trapped in cities (partially bc of sensory issues - cities aren't exactly quiet places).

[@RikterMedia]

you should look at Calgary, ive recreated many buildings from there (hometown). Plenty of beautiful buildings to choose from

Watching this as a New Yorker, I'm really proud that NYC checks off most of these boxes! This vid was very helpful. :)

[@ksiix5661]

it's really nice that you go into the city planning very carefully as it is in real life. Of course, in real life you have to pay attention to a lot more, such as all the pipes. Your city is almost perfect and that's the only thing that bothers me about it... Even if you put a lot into the planning to make the city as pleasant as possible, a real city doesn't look perfect. The best example is NYC. There you have old little detailed houses right next to large skyscrapers with (sometimes) boring facades. The city is dirty in some places, you sometimes have demolished houses so you can see the not so beautiful facades of the buildings next to it and also partially exposes the mechanics. You have broken roads as well as construction sites everywhere. Lots of small, narrow shops instead of one big one and so on. That's something I miss about the city, but I mean you are trying to build the best, most comfortable and most efficient city and not the most realistic... just like a dream city. And you teach many people the basics of urban planning, thanks for that 🤙🏻

[@Alpine1]

I completely agree, thanks for the comment! We will try and incorporate more of this :)
