Actually the cities that are the most modern and progress-oriented today are the ones that felt comfortable bulldozing all relics of the past.
(or the ones where the "old city" was destroyed in brutal urban warfare)
- nemo 3y agoResponding to a statement about "for most of human history" with a reference to a very recent event isn't something you should begin with "actually" since it's not a reply to what I was saying, it's just your own tangent. Also, actually, even in the early modern period people were still looking to the past for inspiration even when they were reusing land - there's far more to the past than mere buildings.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYou mean the cities that are most expensive and worst to live in, because they didn't have relics of the past putting brakes on the greed of real estate owners and developers?
- justrealist 3y agoThis is word salad.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoLet me simplify then: modern cities suck. They're soul-crushing, sad places to live in. A lot of that has to do with modern construction and economic philosophy which you so praise.
- Moldoteck 3y agoGod thanks that not all cities are oriented to be most modern and progress oriented and some just optimize for livability and comfort
