I have lived in south China (extreme high rise and skyscrapers), a global city in Europe (mid rise) and south America (a sprawling mid rise city with lots of cars). I'd say the south Asia felt much more human scale due to easy access to parks, untouched hills and nature in general.
South American sprawl was the worst in terms of easy access to 'nature'.
So I guess it depends what you consider human scale.
- farnsworth 6y agoPersonally my ideal living space would be a huge highrise built on top of a grocery store and a transit station and next to a park. But many people are just so opposed to this kind of urbanism that I think it's always worth bringing up alternatives. I lived in a flat European city too and loved it.
