Even with solid brick, Buenos Aries still looks like shit

>>70132936
you realize ofcourse that I ironically posted a slum though, right?
and it's not even in Buenos Aires, there's one in Bs.As. that looks kinda like that though.

>UNESCO Creative Cities Network

>The UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) was created in 2004 to promote cooperation with and among cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development. The 116 cities which currently make up this network work together towards a common objective: placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of their development plans at the local level and cooperating actively at the international level.

this just means these cities put emphasis on cultural/design establishments/industries

how a clickbait website and the OP monkey spin this into "most beautifully designed" is beyond me

I though Unesco was supposed to recognise universal values, not just current trends. This is just the same gentrification circlejerk that you see everywhere else.

Can't have a beautiful cities list without Perth.
I'm also a fan of Dubbo, designing the city around the natives was a genius idea

No, it's "most beautiful designed cities" which just means they support projects the UNESCO comitee likes.

I dont think pollution was a criteria for this ranking, but only the city planning and design.

And yeah, Beijing is basically the epitome of being a historically planned city, with concentric rings around the imperial palace and the forbidden city.

>Berlin in the top 10
That city is legit disgusting though. Even limiting ourselves to Europe there are so many more pleasant cities. Hell, even if we only limit ourselves to European capitals it should be below Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna and even Warsaw and London.

I've visited Berlin and it's about as devoid of character as Rotterdam.

http://www.escapehere.com/inspiration/unescos-15-most-beautifully-designed-cities-in-the-world/8/

>Far and away the most controversial and debatable of UNESCO’s designations is Beijing, China. However, UNESCO notes the city’s 3000 years rich with history. The architecture and design of the venues for the 2008 Olympics were spectacular but remain underused and unable to be integrated into the city fabric. Meanwhile the brutally bulldozing of the city’s legendary hutongs or traditional neighborhoods of narrow alleys have been documented in books and documentaries. UNESCO cites the huge number of museums and creativity clusters “bearing in mind their relevance for sustainable development.”

Well, cant argue with that.

History is something Beijing has plenty, no matter how much is getting bulldozed.
A Prof. of mine once said that China was the archeologist's heaven, since every square meter of that land is filled with history. You can literally dig a hole somewhere randomly and find a battle axe head from the Zhou Dynasty.

>>70136848
I know, read every post in this thread about beijing

you can look up some info on air quality in china, it's literally the worst.

>>70136943
If that's a legit criteria Rome, Athens, Istambul, Alexandria, Beirut or Damascus should top the list.

>>70136913
>Self-centered
What I'm saying is that even if we only limit ourselves to European capitals, Berlin should be about 6th at best.

All European cities, Berlin should be lower.

All cities in the world, Berlin should be even lower.

Ergo it makes no sense for Berlin to be 9th on a global scale of all cities in the world.
