You mean like all cities were built 100 years ago?
We already know how to build great cities.
No tech or vision is needed.
Just some basic insight.
The 'urban planners' of the 1950s-1970s really created the monster of the suburbs, now they're going to mess with the city?
No thanks. Vienna is a great, clean, walkable, functional city.
Want a hyperloop? Put it underground.
Want wifi? Make it so it's not physically obtuse.
There. Modern city.
See?
- didibus 9y agoYup, I pretty much mean like good old european cities. I want cities of the future to be an evolution over cities of the past instead of an evolution over cities of the present.
- dx034 9y agoThat's why many European cities are trying to go back where they came from. London changed many roads in the 60s-80s, introducing one-way roads to improve traffic flow. This is now reversed to slow down traffic and improve life for pedestrians & cyclists. In other areas (bank junction, oxford street), cars are banned completely. Big cities with good public transport have no real need for any private traffic at daytime. Deliveries are mostly done overnight anyway and taxis are only tolerated because they create a lot of jobs.
