Video

Very interesting Video

If Brasilia has a million haters I am one of them. If Brasilia has ten haters I am one of them. If Brasilia has one hater then that is me. If Brasilia has no haters I am dead. If the world is against Brasilia haters then I am against the world. I hate Brasilia

I very much get the not just bikes vides

So basically: -Make other meens of transport more desirable to lower car users. -Build building in the style that came through 1000 yrs of building -Build roads that direct you to a public building as a monument -Build original villages that have tiny allies and such -When you want to expand just repeat what you already have instead of expanding on it -Building on the side of the sea don't matter architecturally cuz everybody is busy with the sea itself

Dublin already exists mate

8:14 I can see my house!

It’d be cool to see a video like this but about fixing modern cities.

I am also building a “perfect city” and that is just a giant city filled with art deco styled builings, both proposed and built. No modern city streets or modern architecture. No brutalist crap. In a video game.

6:16 Oh! i did not know that you were executed in order to build one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Thank you for your sacrifice👍

The perfect city is no city

It would be a dream to live there

this guys gonna love amsterdam

Wonderful presentation!! Thank you very much!

I'm the only one here who has a modern look to my perfect city. It has that sleekness and razor sharp focus quality to it. Think of a decisive businessman who knows where he's going in life.

Unfortunately Brazil is the bad example 😢 But Rio de Janeiro Downtown (old city) is pretty good 😊

I am dutch, and i dont like this new development. It looks ugly and to much america style. Also more density is required as amsterdam faces a housing crisis. I wish they made it in a traditional way with local materials, with traditional architecture. This seems for the rich people and not for the average person. Amsterdam needs higher density development for their housing shortage. France did it really nice with plesir robbinson, they know how to make buildings look beautiful. This is 🤢🤮

Your perfect city lacks industry... and therefore jobs... and therefore highways to get to the jobs.

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...

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
