do you think urban planning matters in your country?

>>220836186I think people should fuck off.
>>220836186This is just comparing burb retail to downtown core. Both exist in any metro with enough land to have burbs.
>>220836186Yes. Our Klang Valley conurbation has grown to be one of the densest populated areas in the world. Our car centric culture has started to bite us in the buttocks, with daily 2 hours commute for 15 km being the norm. We are where Tokyo was in the early 80s and need a serious public transport and housing area rethink. Right now, huge housing suburbs are being built far from major cities, linked by highways. Bottlenecks form at the highway entries and exits. Older highways are like the LDP and NKVE are as congested as normal roads. Millions of Ringgits are being wasted per hour on fuel in traffic jams.
>>220836186I don't think that anything matters
>>220836186NoThe sprawl must continue until there's not a single paddock left
>>220836796This is just not true. Many American cities with a metro population of over a million are only suburbs centered around a bunch of parking lots with a single digit number of big buildings that are exclusively offices. Go look at Tulsa.
>>220836186America looks like this because this style of development maximizes consumption and thus profit. Which is also burning through resources and unsustainable. It will cause a collapse because the Earth physically cannot provide this way of living indefinitely.
>>220838245communist lies!
>>220838245Ok
>>220836186Yes. Here in Gothenburg I have >trams>buses >a city wide bike path network separate from the roads >underpasses, overpasses and more for pedestrians >grocery stores, kiosks and restaurants near/in all housing areas I have a car but I barely use it. Quicker most of the time to just jump on my bike or take the tram.
>>220836186Do americans really see japan as a model of urban planning?
