I bet that your part of town was the one that kept the poor plebs away.
> over reliance on cars, no public transit, lots of things are just a little bit too far to walk to.
That by itself already should be an immediate disqualification to consider a city "nice".
> Brasília had more easily accessible green space dedicated to people than most cities in the world imo
I guess if you stick only the planned area and exclude the satellite cities, that could be true. Even then, I'd really like to see some data on that.
- amrocha 4y agoYeah of course I'm excluding the satellite cities, they weren't planned and this is a thread about the planned city. Brazil has a wealth inequality problem, designing a city well was never going to solve that. It's not a perfect city, but it's way better than the vast majority of north American cities, which isn't reflected in all the negative comments here.
