How do we stop the highrise menace from ruining our nice European cities?

Ryan Taylor
invite more muslims, they'll take care of it
James Ross
cull your population
Ethan Green
Why would they ruin them? Architectural styles complement each other. Look at London for example.
Austin Cox
Do something before it gets too late
Thomas Bennett
>our nice european cities
you live in finland
Leo Cox
We should be embracing. Resistance to high rise will only hold us back
Michael Martinez
we stop being commercially dependent on China. which is very hard.
these "fast and heavy investment tall buildings" are a Chinese feature. I hate it.
Gavin Campbell
if the rest of the city looks like the blocks on the right then a few highrise buildings won't change much
Cooper Carter
How do we stop the Chinese menace?
Lucas Thomas
same here in gothenburg. I just want to wake up.
>example of modernist architecture and city planning done right
>"hur dur it's modernist and therefore apriorily bad"
Brody Bennett
you're kidding, right?
the city is ugly, and soulless. the city planning is basic and very car-centered
Matthew Barnes
London is like the worst example, their highrises are hideous
Jordan Kelly
I don't think Oulu really counts as a city
Dylan Thomas
maybe it can't be stopped. it's worrisome.
Levi Wood
>ugly
not really
>soul
doesn't exist
>car centered
looks perfectly walkable from the aerial you posted
Easton Smith
Irish cities are beautiful (although Dublin is progressively getting more cosmopolitan and ugly). Most Russian cities are industrial shitholes. FUCK SKYSCRAPERS AND FUCK SUBURBS
Carson Allen
>thinks ...
>...is a good example of a livable city
Zachary Torres
woah what a dumb post
200k is a city
Mason Bennett
sorry, you don't get to have an opinion on this subject
Noah Ward
You don't
Charles Wright
I feel sorry for anyone that takes your advice on good cities to visit
Colton Torres
They won't. That's fake news. Even terrorism is funded with taxpayers' money.
Oliver Richardson
It's time for you to embrace the Asian way.
William Young
Russian cities look better than European "cities", which are more like medieval towns honestly
Luis Ward
Of course they are, *wink wink*, my dear "German" friend.
Easton Stewart
Ji wu ga shai ga
*da bing bing*
Yeeeeeeeeeeooooooohhhh tsa bing bing
David Williams
You can walk, cycle, drive/take public transportation anywhere, grocery stores are always nearby. It's by the sea and surrounded by nature. Oulu isn't that bad desu.
Caleb Carter
We were talking about livability, why are you so retarded?
Andrew Hernandez
I wish my city (Berlin) would build highrises like Moscow because we don't have enough apartments for the people and they only build smol babyblocks
Zachary Walker
Pic related is the best we have, and those were probably built in GDR times
Lincoln Rivera
Sure you do, "German" friend.
Samuel Smith
Do you wanna see more German commieblocks
Lincoln Wright
those aren't highrises, they're midrises
Leo Lewis
Why are all the buildings in Finnish cities modern? The cities didn't get destroyed by any war and there were no communist rulers to destroy all the old shit and replace it with commieblocks, so wtf binland?
Jacob Moore
oh you mean the skyscraper
Liam Young
Go nuts.
Jeremiah Adams
no one lived there until 100 years ago
Nicholas Diaz
Oulu is not a bad city, but id still rather live in any other city desu...
Henry Bell
Because the cities didn't even exist 100 years ago. They were built when those styles were in... style, so that's what they look like
Jose Ramirez
Blake Powell
Parker James
hey it's Pripyat but not abandoned.
Sebastian Wilson
Èrlítou
Tsa bing bing miau
Ah kay tay dead-eye-kuhz?
Mason Scott
massive influx of people from countryside during 1960's and 1970's + massive demand for housing lead to cheap solutions because back then finland was one of the poorest countries in europe. fancy facades weren't really on the agenda.
Jordan Brown
This is now a comfy brutalist thread.
Logan Turner
simply put height limits for buildings like we did in santiago to keep the cathedral visible
Colton Hughes
Highrises are fine if they are build on a large scale and are nearby of each other.
Benjamin Barnes
And some pretty places burnt down.
Cooper Anderson
Same here, but it's combined with communist rule.
Leo Turner
Dublin is perhaps the ugliest capital in Europe. Some of the smaller ones are gorgeous though.
Connor Turner
>he lives in the worst city in Germany
No wonder you're salty about other European cities
Jayden Ward
Ee ur
Yi er
Ee ur
Xavier Lewis
Russia has tiny population compares to its territory how come you fucks build so many commieblocks
Nathaniel Phillips
because building shit is expensive as fuck when you need heavy insulation in order to not freeze to death
Liam Ross
just do what the chinese do and build self destructing buildings
Tyler Foster
Ugly
Evan Foster
good idea, lets keep track of that
Tyler Walker
join the 19th century already
Nolan Bennett
Because Finland was completely agrarian up to 60's, like someone already said.
Ian Young
very true, it was not until the swedes arrived that you had anything that could be called a city, and even then it never really caught on
James Gonzalez
>>just do what the chinese do and build self destructing buildings
The dude in charge of plastic and tin can buildings is probably going to get execution van'ed in broad daylight without warning.
Jace Collins
Zoning, how else do you think? They are built because your building code was and zoning allow it. Hell even in NYC you cant just put a skyscraper anywhere and there are rules about how high a building can be am it's foot print on the property so that light isnt blocked.
