I was wondering what's your opinion on a city like Mumbai in India building a Coastal freeway (about 30km ~ 18.75mi) to connect the Northern suburbs to the South Mumbai (Government/Business District). Although they plan to build pedestrian promenades and parks along the freeway, I believe that the primary aim of this freeway is to decongest the Arterial roads of the city. Currently, at the busiest of times, it can take upto 2 hrs to travel as little as 25km (15mi). The freeway claims to cut it down to 40mins. But, with a economy like that of Bharat (India), where more and more people will be able to afford cars, will it cause induced demand? PS: They are also expanding the Metro network and upgrading the already existing suburban railway network.

How did Cornell end up in such an isolated area of New York?

Well, this is probably one of the more unbiased videos on this subject. I think it helps that a lot of the issues that concerned the Soviet government (building affordable housing and walkable neighbourhoods) are issues that are still concerning urban planners today (largely because they haven't been prioritized in capitalist countries). I always found it baffling that cookie cutter suburban homes sprawling to infinity is considered to be somehow individualist and free while these apartments that are close to where people shop and work are somehow dystopian. True, a lot of them are grey and look like shit now but so do most unmaintained buildings that haven't had a new coat of paint applied in decades. While a lot of people stereotype this as one of socialism's weaknesses, I see it as a strength. For their limited level of development (especially early on) they did remarkably well in dealing with a major social problem that still plagues the West today.

Despite how nice this change is, I liked the novelty of being able to drive around in circles 🥲

Uskoon tulo ei edellytä kirkkoon kuulumista vaan vahvaa uskoa Jumalaan ja Jeesukseen. Kirkko syrjii seksuaali vähemmistöä, ihmisiä jotka eivät kuulu kirkkoon tai ihmisiä jotka eivät ole käyneet rippikoulua. Jeesus ja Jumala ei syrji ketään. Jumala ja Jeesus ovat surullisia kun ihmiset tappavat toisiaan ja tekevät sotaa. Jos oikeasti uskoo Taivaan Isään ja Jeesukseen ei huku vaan saa pääsyn paratiisiin ja varsinkin silloin kun katuu aidosti syntejeään oli niistä jäänyt kiinni tai ei. Uskoon tulo ei todellakaan niin kuin jo sanoin vaadi kirkkoon kuulumista vaan aitoa katumusta ja halua tulla uskoon. Itselläni uskoon tulo tapahtui kolmantena aamuna kun heräsin ja täytyy sanoa, että demoneita tai luciferia en pelkää loskaan. Olen uskoon tulon jälkeen nähnyt Collie lemmikki koiran oikeassa silmässä nähnyt vuohen silmän, mutta en pelännyt. Olen jopa nähnyt elän tarhassa kuinka musta vuohi seurasi minua aidan takaa kun ajoin polkupyörällä ohi. Seuraavana vuotena en nähnyt tuota mustaa uros lammasta, en tiedä minne se katosi tai minne se vietiin, mutta aitaa ei ollut samassa paikassa enään. Minä en paholaista pelkää ja voin sanoa, että kykenen häätämään demonin koska tahansa.

How can a study say that Europe has more sprawl than America? That doesn't make any sense. It means that the way they measure sprawl is flawed.

NIMBYS: Are Republicans.

They already are circles if you look on a map they mostly are in circle shapes for example i was at Lexington ky once and i looked at a map of it and it is circular and the other cities that surround it

Europe embracing the good American life

I’m born and raised in LA, and this video did is make me hate Beverly Hills even more

Thats where Michael Jackson is from

It's absolutely impossible to get a house in the cities nowadays. I think it makes sprawl increase.

Oh so THAT'S why the new science parks are MILES outside the city, because they're beyond the green belt.

"I honestly don't know where someone making $14,500 would live in Beverly Hills." Yes you do! They would be living in the guest house out back OR in the main mansion working as the maid! There are poor people that live in BH they are all just the hired help.

As I drove into Gary, Indiana, the once bustling city now appeared eerily quiet and desolate. The streets were empty, with only a few scattered individuals wearing masks scurrying about. The buildings that once stood tall and proud now looked abandoned and neglected. I made my way to a local restaurant that had been recommended to me, hoping to grab a quick bite to eat. As I entered, I was greeted by a weary-looking server who led me to a table in the corner. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only a couple of other patrons scattered throughout the dining room. I ordered my meal and sat back, taking in the somber atmosphere around me. The server returned with my food, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and resignation. We exchanged a few words, both of us acknowledging the difficult times we were living in. After finishing my meal, I decided to take a walk around the city to see how it had been affected by the pandemic. The streets were lined with boarded-up storefronts and abandoned buildings, a stark reminder of the economic hardships facing the community. As I wandered through the empty streets, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and despair. The once vibrant city of Gary now seemed like a shadow of its former self, struggling to survive in the midst of a global crisis. I eventually made my way back to my car, feeling a mix of emotions as I drove away from Gary. The visit had been a sobering reminder of the impact that the pandemic had on communities across the country. As I left the city behind, I couldn't help but hope that brighter days were ahead for the people of Gary and all those affected by these challenging times.

Your NYC data is wrong.

watched the whole thing, super helpful

Uhhh.. what's sprawl?

Eurovision? Dont go there man.

I have a recurring dream where an arcology gets destroyed by a nuclear bomb from within. I have no idea why but dreams don't usually make sense anyway.

Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq.

I don't think they can compete, but the infrastructure that is actually built, can be better than infrastructure in a lot of European countries

If you add all these things together you get any city in Europe :p

The Sixth Sense: Gated Community - "I see poor people"

Gated communities remind me of Anais Nin's remark: "Life expands or contracts in proportion to one's courage." I suspect gated communities often lead to contracting lives. Like the girl who is afraid of poor people.

One of my favorite places to do business!

Put pot dispensaries in malls. Put ORANGE JULIUS & CINNABON BACK IN THE MALL. Tear down an anchor store if necessary to cut operating costs if the huge stores can’t be used for retail. Put in an arcade. A record store. Trampoline park. Go karts. Stuff like that.

Here in Tokyo, about 15% of the population uses a bicycle daily. Considering the city proper has a population of 13 million, the is a lot of cyclists. The entire metro area has some 37 million people. with an similar percentage of cyclists. Japan has almost no dedicated cycling infrastructure, Tokyo simply doesn't have the space to add bike lanes or paths on its already limited road space. What Japan does do is maintain high driver licensing standards and strictly enforced traffic laws to make cycling safer. Japan's per-capita traffic fatality rate is one-sixth that of America.

maybe if an apocalypse happened, we will recede into the suburbs and start growing food there and just turn it into a town

I grew up in downtown LA bc my mom worked in DTLA. I lived in an 18 story high rise building with all of the lux comforts of a 5 star hotel (pool, hot tub, waterfall, gym, sauna, etc.) We never had to deal with traffic or commuting. When I lived downtown there wasn't anything to do and I was usually the only kid. My commute to school was long bc I went to school on the west side of town. Now downtown has LA Live, Staples Center (I am not calling it that new name), Whole Foods, shopping, other high rise apartment buildings, and restaurants. Even with all of these new developments there's STILL nothing to do! Unless you are downtown for a Lakers game, concert, or other event it's really not a place to stay and hang out. It's so dirty. It's not pedestrian friendly, and there's a lot of homeless. One of the highlights I loved about DTLA was shopping for brand names at super cheap discount prices in the Cooper Building and The Alley.

are u a fan of suburbs?

Money...the fckin money and yeah, cost of living.

I hate to admit it but San Francisco has the best streets in the western world

As a person who grew up in highly dense Europe and I vote for sprawl. Houses are great.

TATAKAE!!!

Belgian here. Can DEFINITELY confirm Belgium is one big sprawl hub.

they need to ban all bikes

Quite a few cities in Spain did move in a sprawly direction after mass car ownership arrived , even if some are beginning to question it now.

I love the history of different towns . How different each town can look feel .

I know this is 3yo, but just to consider Paris one of the best places to live is CRAZY bro

One problem with both elevated and at-grade rails is that they’re exposed to weather conditions that can deteriorate the infrastructure and require more frequent closures for maintenance.

TIL: Verdant! What a great word, can't wait to use it

This comment section made me realise one thing, the uk is a shithole! IRELAND W

Grids of any kind are boring, give me organic, interesting & inefficient over this any day

Berlin is the largest city by population in the EU. By far.

Comment for the algorithm.

A better, more apt question: What is a city? To which the answer is the same video, more or less, because most of these (American) suburbs are in fact just part of the city too! Low density, sprawling part of a city, sure, but part of the city all the same. Most of them just have (refused) to urbanize as the city population has increased. But put a way that's both less and more useful: If you live within 15 minutes (by any way) of a Target, you are indeed in a city. Congratulations. Ultimately though, I don't think any of these definitions aren't really useful. A city is a place - and most suburbs of census defined "cities" are part of that place too

You should add Chengdu, China in the list. They make a complete circle city.

The idea that it doesn't impact affordability involves obscuring loss in size and quality (and increasing prices for equally-desirable units) under 'per unit' prices. No one in the real world thinks that if they can buy an apartment for what a house once cost, that affordability stayed the same.

Eastern Europeans (who are white) discriminated against by also white people (who had immigrated a generation or two before them). It's as if the color of their skin didn't play a role in this
