Ban cars.
is that houston
Houston and Chongqing (but one of those photos looks ai generated lol)
Chongqing is only like 25 years old. Before that it was an industry zone in the Sichuan province. Lol
It is actually a crown jewel of china’s growth and focus on livability in their cities.
I didn’t make the meme, I thought Chongqing was a weird choice when there are older or lower tier cities which still make Houston look like absolute shit and are far lesser known. But I’m a simple poster, I see train, I post train
Can’t out drip Deng’s cities.
No you don’t understand, utilitarian city planning is stupid. We follow american values like ‘cars’ and ‘redlining’
Sorry sweaty unless half of the footprint of your city is parking lots it’s 1849 authoritarianism

Don’t mind me, just picking my cherries.

mods can we PLEASE get a lemmy emoji
Find something good then suggest it on c/emojis
no I want to be babied
I’ve never gone anywhere in the US that wasn’t a depressing traffic jam or vast nowhere. I’ve never been to China, but I know for a fact that they at least plan their cities instead of allowing them to become Houston.
please, point me to America’s functioning high speed railway system. I’ll wait
Typical Hong Kong apartment
The same hong kong owned by western capitalist for 70 years right?
If it’s a problem caused by Western capitalism, why hasn’t China fixed it in the over 25 years?

They doubled the average size of new apartments by outlawing the appalling tiny units that the British establishment encouraged and by engaging in actual planning concerning land use, another thing the British colonial era ignored.
Now it’s about 50-90 sqm for new apartments which is the same as other high density cities like Barcelona. New York for example is 50-70 sqm.
They estimate a further gain of 10-20% in floor area per person by 2030.
Thanks China!
Your dumb ass should start questioning your assumptions because they’re wrong.
