Are east asian cities better than european cities?

How could you say these terrible things? Japan is based and westpiled, leave your insect-related slurs to chinkoids.

There is nothing good here.

I meant asian cities overall

they've got a few but when you have such a huge population and you modernise everything in about 1 century, i guess all you have is modern buildings

Other than tokyo japanese cities aren't that much larger than largest european cities. Didn't japan industrialize about the same time as europe anyway?

Imagine the smell

It's simple. Modernized architecture is superior to traditional Asian architecture. There are a lot of traditional architectures still left in rural parts of Japan though. Notable ones are Kakunodate up to North or Kagoshima down to South.

Japan has three larger metropolitan areas compared to Berlin metropolitan area.

Tokyo: 37,832,892 pop
Osaka: 19,000,000 pop
Nagoya: 9,107,000 pop

For comparison
London: 14,187,146
Paris: 12,532,901
Berlin/Brandenburg: 6,004,857 pop

Seems comfy

feels bad living in a country that has neither modern nor historical architecture or infrastructure

What about that dish rack your pooftahs sing in?

oh yeah that piece of shit
the design is apparently terrible from an acoustic perspective apparently
it was also designed by a danish guy

Japs sucked at masonry partially due to earth quakes. Old buildings simply dont last long they are made of wood. Old Temples and shrines actually have to be continuously rebuild.

The environment is different.
In order to cope with the natural environment, we did not have the idea of requiring permanence in the building.
Even Shinto shrines are always rebuilt and renewed.
Therefore, only the architecture of Buddhists with different ideologies remains.
It is possible to count minor exceptions, but in principle there are such circumstances.

i just realised i said apparently twice in the same sentence
haha!

Permanent buildings are quite convenient if plagues regulary decimate the population. If the buildings last you can just move into the abandoned buildings a generation later. Just talking out of my ass though I doubt its a major advantage.

Apparently you did.

The only thing East Asian cities have is good public transportation. Their aesthetic is shit.

>Development BAD
>All populated areas should be backwater towns like Stockholm

If people live cleanly, plague will not be prevalent.

So? Epidemic like smallpox often happened in Kyoto capital city era.

both Japan or Korea were full of people.
There were so many people living there that it was better that more people died.
In short, what you said was not a serious and fatal problem.

geez that is like 3 singapores right there

absolutely disgusting

Tokyo: 38 million
Singapore: 5.64 million

In fact it's 7 times bigger

any european city of 1-2 million people is nice and cozy

maybe cuz prior to ww2 most of the building's were made out of wood and then ww2 happened?

Of course its a serious and fatal problem. Cleanlyness only helps to some extent. Europe is at the crossroads of different continents. Trade spreads plagues easily. Japan wasnt nearly as connected in trade. Even in the middle ages goods from places as far away as china reached europe over the silk road. Easy to pick up disease along the way. The plague spread from asia to europe originally. And it affected clean societies like the romans just as much as dirty ones. And the fact that japs didnt die like flies when euros arrived proves you were equally exposed to disease anyway.

Best city in Europe
Prove me wrong

less than 1 mln

The most important thing in this pic is clean air. Other Asian cities should learn from Tokyo.

no

bump

What you say is a wrong idea that doesn't fit in Japan.
We have lived using methods that fit this land.
You lack the knowledge to talk about Japan.

Their architecture isn’t as nice

Your traditional stuff is much more aesthetic though

If it’s not modern or historical what the fuck is it?

based

Your post is nonsense. Point is disease must have been a big problem at some point in jap history. You lived in big cities and didnt die when euros arrived.

>metropolitan areas

Its not the same as city. Tokyo was not that big until Japs forcibly added like another 5 million to Tokyo in 1943 with reform, cause ''hurr durrr muh nationalism, muh big city''. They desperately wanted to have their own New York.

>Berlin metro area
I hate that term. It includes tiny villages hours away from Berlin. Calling it a metropolitan area is nonsense

Basically entire Branderburg is Berlin metro area
