  1. Je travaille sur ce thème voir vidéo sur ma chaine.
  2. Corbusier's  'City of Tomorrow' was built - its called "Brasilia" :)
  3. a city based in cars, and for cars, not for humans, thanks god, this was never build.
  4. It is true that most people want their own patch of land. The surface area of land on Earth is approximately 148,300,000 sq km with a current global population of approximately 7,113,000,000 . Excluding many inhabitable areas of the Earth, this leaves a population density of around 51 people per square km. Much has changed since the days of Corbusier. Architects are now innovating ways to incorporate gardens in highrises, but perhaps more distantly, oceans are the future sites of cities.
  5. Where can i find similar info? I love this!
  6. There concepts transcent our basic uderstanding...
  7. Cram like ants? It doesn't have to be like that. Do people really enjoy being isolated from society and overweight? Do they truly enjoy not having any sense of neighborhood? Do they really enjoy traffic jams and having to drive an hour or more to work? High gas prices? Keep in mind that the way we have built the last century cannot be sustained or maintained. A properly built city, done well, provides access to green space, culture, entertainment, etc... that urban sprawl can never offer.
  8. Great video!
