This Town Did The Impossible
This Town Did The Impossible
A great example of a walkable city in France near Paris.
The town is really beautiful.
What a beautiful video, I hope more cities around the world will begin these sorts of changes. There is a reason these are the sorts of places many fall in love with on a holiday.
The concept of a walkable city is something every urban planning should involve these days. I really appreciate that they did in this case. And also the affordability for tenants is a good measure for a healthy neighborhood. But the whole video doesn’t go into detail about anything. It seems quiet superficial and I wouldn’t agree with the whole architectural style that is promoted in the video. The video makes it seem like this is the only way to make buildings look beautiful. I find it rather fake-looking, like some facade in a theater. I wouldn’t wish for every city project to imitate this old style in every building so that they all look the same. The problem with post-war architecture is not particularly the brutalistic or minimalistic style but the monotony that it created. Monotony, as an environment to live in, is very inhumane and creates psychological distress. We should encourage a more modern approach that allows more variety in buildings, but always keep the human in mind for the design.
It looks nice, but like old France. It's missing clearly indicated bike lanes and still looks like summers there will be unbearably hot. The author is correct though: making poor people live in ugly places in unethical and inhumane.
IMO when car infrastructure is encouraging cars to go slow bike infrastructure is less needed.
