Conscious City Design - Examples & Ideas

[Bobby_2021]

Modern cities have become hell holes with too much noise, lights, pollution, traffic, and high cost of living. All of these are attributed to a result of bad policies.

Zoning laws and lack of regulations on car manufacturers resulting in sociatal infrastructure that forces people to depend on cars too much isn't clearly helping us.

We need to build conscious cities that is human centric. It much have plenty of space, fresh air, playgrounds and places for meet-ups and healthy socialisation. Bars should not be the default socialisation place. All aminities and necessities of life must be available in walkable distance or a recyclable distance. 

People can still have cars but people shouldn't be forced to have cars. The important points of the cities should be interconnected with paths meant exclusively for bicycles and cars should take a longer route. 

We need more trees, parks amd places to hang out and chill. 

Noise pollution is something that is rarely discussed when assessing the quality of the cities since noisy (car depended) cities are too normalised. This results in a myriad of problems health issues ranging from heart disease to stress to disturbed sleep on top of an already stressful life which people lead in cities.

 

Here are some good YT channels that talk about these in depth. 

 

 

 

 

 

It's interesting to note how European cities have already implemented walkable cities. US and Canada is astonishingly lagging. 

We need more trains, cycles, affordable accommodation and less cars. Cars are a horrible waste of space.

Superblocks are an amazing concept.

Commie blocks + Creativity in design is something else.

Really though, this looks AI generated. Beautiful.
