what is the better approach?

>>212490863 (OP)
i personally prefer the russian approach but i know we have too many people for that

>>212490863 (OP)
Well obviously the island one.

>>212490863 (OP)
LA is actually pretty cool in how it's spread out. I know it takes like 3 hours to cross it but it's nice, you live one city and get to experience different landscapes.

>>212490863 (OP)
First and last are the same

>>212491292
I think beijing and cairo are failed attempts to have these islands of commieblocks like in russia, ruined by overpopulation

>>212490863 (OP)
the farm swarms is the same as the hive

>>212491387
Farm swarm has no real centralization. The hive just has its farmland off picture.

>>212491582
>just has its farmland off picture.
that's just cherry picking
this is the countryside outside beijing with random little towns surrounded by farmlans and big developments intruding which is just like in the valley of mexico
cairo just doesn't have farmland around it because it has consumed all the farmland near it besides the northern and southern ends where the nile valley continues

one thing usa did well is having a big park in the middle of the city. having these but wilder,less built up and better guarded would be nice for large cities and you could go into actual nature as a weekend vacation you have to travel to

>>212491754
Public land is very important in big centralizations. Odd that it happened in New York of all places.

For me, it's the green sprawl.
>low-rise, medium density apartment blocks (4-8 apartments each)
>60-70% green space coverage, as many trees as you can fit
>small patches of entirely forested areas as parks
>extensive network of feeder bus lines and arterial rail to city center/commercial hub
>"mini malls" in walking distance with essential shops, schools not farther than a very short bus trip

>>212490863 (OP)
commieblocks, this also forces dense houses to become a thing so that young people can afford apartments.

where is this pic?

>>212493117
thats literally what america is and look at how it ended up

>>212493117
That must stay nice and cool in the summer with all those trees.
Comfy

>>212491058
what are you counting as LA?

>>212493117
San Francisco

>>212494360

cities skylines

>>212490863 (OP)
Farm swarm but the individual cities are smaller and further apart from each other

There is a reason it is taking the light years and so tgerefore the answer is yes.

>>212490863 (OP)
just live in a small town in a mountainous area where intensive agriculture is impossible, like me.

>>212491058
lol.
LA has a mass of poverty at its core, spreading outwards. The city grows as people flee further

>>212497680
LA has multiple cores

>>212494360
Budapest, 2nd district
>>212494554
There are some basic similarities, but the typical american suburb consists of single family houses and cars are more of a necessity.
>>212496511
That is one of the benefits, I use my AC way more for heating in the winter than cooling now.

cycling oriented decentralised city like this but tiled copy pasted by 100 would be the best.

do swampniggers really

>>212498176
I saw that video too

>>212490863 (OP)
is the Hive a super-duper conurbation hell? Or is it the opposite?
is not clear and my autismos is raging

>>212490863 (OP)
Multiple highly urbanized city centers with a well develop public transportation system.
This is what makes Hong Kong the best large city in the world.
