Austin 4K - Downtown Skyscraper Drive - USA

Home to Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Cisco, eBay, General Motors, Google, IBM, Intel, Oracle Corporation, PayPal, Texas Instruments, and Whole Foods, Austin is the fastest growing large city in the United States. U.S. News & World Report named Austin the #1 place to live in the U.S. for 2017 and 2018.
By the 1990's, Austin emerged as a center for technology and business. Dell's worldwide headquarters is located in a nearby suburb, Round Rock. Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas, the 11th-most populous city in the United States and the 4th-most populous city in Texas.
In 2016, Forbes ranked Austin #1 on its "Cities of the Future" list, then in 2017 placed the city at that same position on its list for the "Next Biggest Boom Town in the U.S." Also in 2017, Forbes awarded the South River City neighborhood of Austin its #2 ranking for "Best Cities and Neighborhoods for Millennials". WalletHub named Austin the #6 best place in the country to live for 2017. The FBI ranked Austin as the #2 safest major city in the U.S. for 2012.
Austin is the second most populous state capital after Phoenix, Arizona, and the southernmost state capital in the contiguous United States. As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2018 estimate, Austin had a population of 964,254 up from 790,491 at the 2010 census. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis on the Colorado River, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, and Lake Walter E. Long.
In the 1830s, pioneers began to settle the area in central Austin along the Colorado River. In 1839, the site was chosen to replace Houston as the capital of the Republic of Texas and was incorporated under the name "Waterloo". Shortly afterward, the name was changed to Austin in honor of Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas" and the republic's first secretary of state. The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin.
Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, and blue-collar workers. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World," a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits. The city also adopted "Silicon Hills" as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan "Keep Austin Weird," which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations. In the late 19th century, Austin was known as the "City of the Violet Crown," because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset. Even today, many Austin businesses use the term "Violet Crown" in their name. Austin is known as a "clean-air city" for its stringent no-smoking ordinances that apply to all public places and buildings, including restaurants and bars.

@@monolap222 Oh okay thank you for this informations

[@sajanaryal6932]

@@monolap222 The biggest difference between european cities and american cities is that the european ones emphasize humans over cars. They have much better public transportation systems and are very walkable and bikeable. Most places in the US look identical to each other. Majority of the US is crappy and car dependent and full of ugly and inefficient stroads that give you the highway feeling in every grid. It's true that you shouldn't judge the entire country by looking at one city but if you do some research, most american cities look very similar as they follow the same euclidean zoning pattern. There are only a handful number of cities (some of which you mentioned above) that have similar walkability and transportation system compared to average european cities. But even those are affected by car dependency as they are surrounded by car dependent suburbs and highways literally go through them. Plus you don't find much pedestrianized streets and the roads are almost as wide as highways. Compared to this, european cities have narrower roads, several pedestrianized streets, better biking infrastructure and they contain several alleys that are totally devoid of cars. This is what makes most european cities more livable than american cities.

[@sajanaryal6932]

@@monolap222 I admit I haven't been to Europe but have done a lot of research. I live in the US in Nashville right now and have been to more states than most Americans have, or at least that's what they tell me. It seems like you completely and utterly missed my point about livability and car dependency lol. I don't care if you find most of Europe to be boring. That is totally subjective and has nothing to do with infrastructure. My point is that the European ones emphasize walkability and their public transportation systems are far superior to the US. Look at the infrastructure and city design of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for instance. The primary method of transportation there is walking and biking. Then comes trams, metro and finally cars as automobiles shouldn't be the primary method of transportation. And while the European countries, Japan, China, etc are building high speed railways to connect their cities, US is still building highways lol. Majority of the US, in my opinion, is an absolute wasteland. Almost all cities have this central compact downtown with some skyscrapers (although some have more parking lots than buildings) and they instantly descend to car dependent suburbia nonsense as soon as you leave the downtown. I suggest you to look up "Not Just Bikes" who talks about underdeveloped american cities and suburbs are.
