We're slow enough as is, lad

None of our subjects fit there either. We're about the architecture, planning and cities of the world. Only thing we have in common with them is certain aspects of infrastructure, but that's rarely talked about. Even then it's not about the transport itself, but the design and engineering behind the bridge etc. that carries it.

Well /n/ is nice because it's slow too. This board is quick so threads disappear fast.

Risking a thread dying at 50 posts of a potential 300 is better than 50 posts in total a month tbqh.
This is a designated /int/ general either way, and has been for many years. Just why now mess with tradition?

Ashgabat has nice architecture because it's a totalitarian dystopia.

Oh yeah I heard about them in another thread. They're probably the closest equivalent to North Korea.

Currently under construction.
I'm often against skyscrapers in London outside of The City; but I actually think this one looks okay. I'd prefer it to be with The City cluster, still, but whatever.

I'm loving that density, too. Focus should be put on making the centres of our other cities that dense.

East London construction.
Shit looks like China.

>>65660381
Okay that's pretty crazy. There was a picture of Miami that someone posted that had similar levels of heavy construction.

>>65660453
Yeh. It looks pretty messy.
Quality doesn't look very high but with enough density maybe it will eventually be good.

>>65660338

is that next to it the building that melted a car?
