Britain's Prince Charles made his own town, he called it Poundbury.

not surprised, prince charles absolutely hates modern architecture, he made videos where he shilled against it
>>
>>74555867
it's somewhat nice but it just feels tacky and fake, looks like the set of a childrens tv show

i like his views on architecture though

Based Prince Charles. I agree whole heatedly with him here.

>i like his views on architecture though

Nah, he's a fucking idiot. Like everything, there's a place for different styles of architecture. Would you put the Lloyds building in the greenbelt? No. But it works in a city.
>>
I wish i could live in poundbury it seems quaint and comfy
>>
>>74555867

just seems really fake and artificial
>>
>>74556338
some streets looks too narrow senpai

Looks like something you'd get in China, it seems to fundamentally misunderstand why people like old houses.
>>
Poundbury is misunderstood because around the centre is a ton of modern-ish buildings which look ugly as shit

Give the town 30-40 years and it will weather down and look more 'historic'

Is taking someone to Poundbury the English equivalent of taking them to Poundtown?

You should see some of the streets in Spain in some of the older cities
>>
>>74556700
I certainly hope so.
>>
>>74555867
Looks like most new build estates except they don't make all the houses the same colour.
>>
>>74555867
I get what he was trying to do but it feels kind of fake, the problem with this sort of traditional city design is that it got to be that way by people just making houses and shops all over the fucking place and making the streets around it, that's a very hard thing to replicate.
>>
Looks memeish
>>
I can't believe you're going to have to swear allegiance to this buffoon.
>>
Based Charlie

>>74556287
Lloyds building doesn't really look good in a financial district. it looks more like something from an industrial area.
>>
>>74555867
Looks alright, if not particularly stellar
