Гений придумал Советские микрорайоны в 23 году....

Not possible in this times. You have forgotten main substance...WATER...but not just any kind of water.

I hope mixed uses are introduced so it’s not all residential. This will enrich the area, produced more income, and feel more like a city.

Really well designed! Wish we had this here in Seattle.

Very interesting, but you should have talk about vegetation across the streets : that makes a boring street look enjoyable.

Insightful video. All I'm going to add is that urban planners should be required to take a course in molecular biology. There are rules for everything cosmic, and planners violate these rules constantly with ego, grandiosity, and with "engineer's disease", or the idea that you can stupid proof everything with technology and "innovation"...It don't work...

Eindhoven has a DUDOK suburb in STRATUM.

Most important aspect: no hordes from third world countries.

17:29 where is this bellfry located?

the perfect city is a jungle with high roads and buildings with some exits but mainly above ground

I did enjoy the video and subscribed, but i dont understand all the fuss against the post-war buildings, they looked like that for a reason, they were designed to be as functional as possible and not unnecessary details since the world simply wanted to build up the world as fast as possible. Why waste huge amounts of money on 2 good looking buildings when u can build 100 for the same amount, they only cared about housing everyone as fast as possible, I’m sure very few if any liked how they looked, but couldn’t care less if they didn’t had to be out in the rain instead

23:26 Being a critic doesn't make you a "bully".

please make another video and come to tampere to cover our new built island and wetsern city center, hiedan ranta!

bro dropped this banger, refused to elaborate and then vanished

So when you say 'build the perfect city' do you mean greenfield development of a new city on the outskirts of an existing one? But with mixed use development housing job centers along side the same people who work those jobs? Or maybe take an empty plot of land in the middle of nowhere and start from scratch, somehow convincing a developer or a nation state that it's suitable for a new city laid out and built from the ground up. Or do you want the government to tear down our ugly neighborhoods to make way for new boulevards Haussmann style? Where will the displaced people go? How will this impact marginalized communities? Or alternatively do you want to slowly implement a plan to have this city build up over centuries like Vienna did? In which case good luck getting a style guide enforced for 100 years. I think you have some good ideas, but short of a new revolutionary government and massive social upheaval I don't see my city whose population grew by 1% last year being able to make rapid change, especially considering they're bankrupt. As is the federal government.

"the combined action of many will lead to similar outcomes"... daamn, shots fired.

I love a grid system.

So, how do we round up everyone who loves this video and plan a livable development project?! I'm ready - let me know. Or is someone already doing that?

22:14 London has what’s called ‘protected sight lines’ for important heritage buildings and monuments such as Saint Paul’s Cathedral. This is why the sky scrapers are scattered the way they are and such weird shapes.

The perfect City = Not a City. LOL. A town or village. All the things people like about a City are not City-ish, they are Town-ish. unique squares and landmarks, cosy areas, and non-repetitive, short lanes and roads are features of Towns. People don't like towering skyscrapers unless they are near the top to have the view, from the street level they are just giant Brutulist monuments, and often as private spaces they are not open to public access anyway, so kiss the promise of the view goodbye. The lure of the City is the opportunities, this was a real feature of Cities prior to two recent developments: The internet (allowing remote work for a large swath of humanity) and online shopping (allowing access to millions of products, far more variety than any City can now offer). Modern Cities have grown up around cars, and they bend to the will of the traffic. Roads, expressways, parking lots dominate land use in "modern" Cities. The biggest problem with Cities, there are too many people in them! LOL. like the famous experiment with Rats in a tight enclosure - even with all the food, water air things they "need for life" the Rats die off. People too do not like to be too tightly packed together, and they suffer behavioural problems being to densely stacked. Why is there so much crime in Cities and nearly none in small Towns? In Cities people are anominous, in Towns you know nearly everyone, and if you don't know a person you know someone they too know. On a final note, not every City in the world has summer weather all year around, I watch these videos and see nice Cities - in summer - that I know are not nice once the snow comes. Tall buildings brings street level winds, and wide streets with narrow sidewalks - YUP all the snow is pushed towards the people so the cars have a clear path - because Cities are designed for Cars, not for people.

politically this will never happen, since 'downtown' will always want all the commerce.

what city is in the b-roll at 2:06?

One detail I'd like to add about Paris that most people miss, while the materials, proportions and overall color palette is shared by most buildings, the actual style of building is not uniform, it is this near perfect ratio of uniformity and individuality between buildings that makes Paris so beautiful and prevents it from becoming too boring.

I like commie blocks tho

05:38 - Choosing Brasilia to represent Brazil is like picking USA to represent earth's soccer. Use Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo 😁

Waiting on you to post again king

Leonardo Da Vinci is turning in the grave once again.

The error is perfect and city in the same sentence!

What if instead of having a central commercial area it was a ring road with residential on either side and public spaces in the middle like schools, libraries, churches, parks and whatnot.

The paradox of diversity is rooted in the same negligence as the desire for justice, equality, and deconstruction. When you refuse to accept the realistic constrains, your solutions will be bugged, no matter how hard you try to embellish and justify your ideology. But!! It is good to ask why do these desires rise up and what were the mistakes we made when facing them? How can we not repeat those mistakes over & over again as we've done so far? Great content my friend.

how to build a perfect city: 1. be european 2. be rich "you live in asia? tough luck, friend"

We don't need to build the "perfect city", the cities that existed and evolved naturally over centuries were the perfect expression of the people who lived there and the nation that encompassed them. The best thing to do is leave old cities alone, and restore them to their former glory

One way to improve this without being too tyrannical is to impose a tax on architectural expression outside of the orders of the locality. Corinth had orders, Rome had orders, Constantinople had orders; and some cities in North America used to have them as well (look at older brick buildings, particularly on the lintels, in Toronto). Instead of zoning height limits, sky rights above other ground parcels should be priced into the land.

Perfect city will never exist

Great video! I would like to add that a perfect city is one where you don't travel far out of necessity but out of leisure, and one where every part is accessible to each other. This would involve strict implementation of mixed used development, a robust public transport system, and observation of road hierarchies.

Let's start with old town > shows Old Town in Warsaw which is not old (thank you Germans!) > local people goes there LOL, no

I study urban development in Lübeck, another UNESCO site. Except for us its huge parts of the old town island and sights lines onto the church towers.... inside of which you basically cant build anything larger than 4 stories. Essentially the entire city is covered by those sight lines (at least the parts where we could still build more housing), and it makes it nearly impossible to solve our crippling lack of flats. In principle im sympathetic to the Idea od UNESCO. But the execution is really misguided in some places. Yes, we should preserve and do delicate balancing for historic sites. But we cannot freeze cities in time, theyre living organisms that need to adapt to the demands of their inhabitants over time and provide space for the things of tomorrow. While preserving the past. And UNESCO makes that very hard at times.

This very much reminds me of the idea of micro districts.

Beautifully put together! I think it is very possible to utilize this model, albeit with mass transit options connecting the towns (either subway or rail) allowing for tourism, expansion, and access to the area/country. Maybe the main bottleneck to this is public/landmark areas don't have a high return on investment and hence they are lowest priority to builders and investors. Despite those areas being what brings and keeps individuals in. A slight tax could be leveraged from each self sustaining unique town to maintain/expand their public areas. Finally you still need some way for industry to get goods to the various retails in each town. Now that I am thinking of it, a dual train network stacked on top of itself. Freight on one level and passenger on the other. Goods could be transporting into the unique towns with the possibility of underground paths for freight to disperse in each sector.

Perfect city = business and housing distributed equality throughout the city, both high density.

fun fact alot of Ring roads are built due to the walls that surrounded these cities.

I’m not sure if you’re native English speaker, but if you’re not at your really native German then you have my biggest respect, I actually never heard the German speaker being so perfect and fluent in English and pronunciation, especially most German speakers while being perfectly fluent and grammar have a awful pronunciation and a strong accent. You have none of that.

I think a flaw with the argument that we should strictly borrow from the past is that that is from the lens of hindsight. Paris, Vienna and wherever grew organically. It’s ironic that you reject modern architectural styles while assuming that we are past evolving new ones; the styles we’ve created are organic and resulting from the world we live. Borrowing from the past ignores that they were organic as well. You do qualify it by saying it’s personal preference and the other points you’ve made about chaos in a way that is interesting and order that is accommodating are good. But it’s not a “framework” it’s just preferring those old ones versus the new.

I feel like everyone who complains about Brasília doesn't even know what Brasília is... The footage you used is from the center of the capital, its purpose is to home the administration buildings, the public buildings that are used by just a few people. No one lives there, there's no reason to make that part of the city inviting, because it's not supposed to. The super quadras though are super complimented all over the world, it's close to the administration buildings but its purpose is living. The super quadras are amazing and the administration buildings are also amazing, but they serve different purposes and they're more than just functionality or beauty, they're a piece of art, an archictetural experiment.

I absolutely agree. This is a great video 🥇

Excuse me my brother in christ the picture on the left at 9:34 is Budapest from Hungary not Barcelona

"I have opinions and my hero is Roger Scruten" is like saying you're a serial killer and you should be be put in charge of public security.

8:34 vienna is such a fascianting case, bc it combines progressiveness (from +100 years ago) with backlash bad designs (from the 1970s onwards till this day) at high contrast in every district of the city

you sound uncannily like Life Where I'm From. Cadence and just the sound of your voices are identical

Did he just say Barcelona instead of Budapest?
