I went to New York City a few years ago to visit a sibling who was working at an international firm, and it was perhaps one of the most ugliest cities I've visited. Most of the buildings and promenades looked quite dated and old looking. The Manhatten skyline had a drab grey look that reminded me of vomit. The architecture of the city didn't stimulate or interest me, and ugly buildings were everywhere. NYC is an example of what happens when city planners prefer quantity over quality. Don't get me wrong, New York City has some beautiful areas, but overwhelmingly, the city looked quite dated. Compare NYC to Shanghai, and its clear that NYC seems stuck in the past.

Big cities are like that, you can't name a city anywhere in the world that is of similar size and does not have large areas of urban blight.

Having said that I'm not exactly what is it you mean by "dated" it is precissely the traditional/classic areas of a city that give it its own character and beauty, New York may be younger in terms of architecture that many other cities in the world but it is doubtless one of the most influential.

It all comes down to personal taste, it's perfectly legit to hate it, but I don't think there's any objective case regarding its architecture as lacking or holding this city to standards that are imĀ“posible for any urban area it's size, at least at the present stage of global civilization.

Stop being a pleb

I don't mind the Art Deco buildings, there's just too many of those drab concrete buildings that were built during the 60s and 70s.

High rises, modernism and postmodernism are a cancerous plague upon our planet, threatening to swallow everything.

Would prefer that hideous grey mass over this?
>>
>>69452284
Looks good. Unfortunately NYC is filled with degenerate postmodern architecture. Art Deco and other pre PM is fine, I just can't stand post modern.

NYC smells like expired bread
