Cities became much worse when they started agreeing with this diagram:

I’m going to be making simple shorts - and at some point I’ll be making long form videos about architecture and cities. Find me over on YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/16wXa...

Florida residential neighborhood designs are a fever dream.

Hot take: Central Park should have been placed on the Hudson River.

Of course people feel isolated. Just look at the places we live now.

Now this is a great residential neighborhood. It shouldn’t be so difficult to build something like this is the US.

Crazy… This design was just one lane away from solving traffic.

The Eiffel Tower if it were built in Southern California.

I love post modern architecture and I’m tired of hiding it.

Wouldn’t mind seeing these built again

Imagine being in debt for 30 years to live in a house that looks like this.

This is Manhattan in 1882 We’re fortunate that single-family zoning didn’t exist back then, allowing them to build the great city of New York.

The cars take up way more space… And carry way less people.

The materials, the scale, the narrow roads, the focus on walkability, we had it all. The abundance movement should look to the past to take inspiration.

Hear me out… Neon signs are great and beautiful and really add something special to a night street. My time in China and traveling around to Japan, really opened my eyes to this aesthetic.

I love Chicago, but part of me wishes Burnham’s 1906 plan for the city came true. Truly would be the Paris on the prairie.

We need more pocket parks

A common house type being built today: A common house type that used to be built back in the day: Are people starting to notice this massive drop in quality?

We perfected the elegant row house neighborhood. And then we just stopped building them.

Every American should have one of these in walking distance from their home.

City Aesthetics @cityaesthetics.bsky.social · 04/03/2025
Let’s bring these back

I can’t believe the U.S. perfected the Main Street shopping district… and then suddenly stopped building them.

So like, where do the people walk?

This just perfectly sums up how car centric places work. When the turning radius of a car literally determines the size of this school, we have a problem…

A city you’ve never heard of in China Vs. Silicon Valley, home to so many technological advancements Why did we forget how to build cities?

Hot take: I will never understand people that constantly order food delivery. DoorDash, uber eats, etc. is a great way for lazy people to drain their bank accounts

People would be much healthier if they spent at least an hour walking per day. Neighborhoods should be designed to accommodate that.

The past: Houses made of strong materials 🆚 The present: houses made of plastic Everything feels less authentic now..

Public plazas should have these things: -A place for people to relax -Shade trees -Housing nearby -Transit adjacent

Car oriented development vs Walking oriented development Let’s build more of one and not the other

The houses they build now: -2 car garage -HOA -45 minute drive to your favorite casual dining chain The houses I would build: -Close to transit -I can paint my house whatever color I want -Everywhere I want to go is a 15 minute walk away

Roads in cities should be: -Smaller -Slower -Safer The era of accepting stroads with 6 lanes is over.
