I meant "unity" the design principle, not the patriotic sense.
Reasonable restrictions and a bit of city planning don't preclude organic development, New York is probably the most organic city in the US. I'm not advocating for every city to be completely uniform and same-y and soulless, just cohesive and thoughtful. Cohesive != uniform.

- ok_dad 2y agoI think we probably agree mostly. I’m also talking about design. I prefer a less constrained design system for a city, I think it gives life. Trying to control every bit of the look of a place makes it boring and conservative, IMO. In the USA, I also think that design unity is used to get rid of undesirable persons, and keep things a certain way for certain types of people.
