• Ah, la ville radieuse just won't die ...

    As if it needed saying, those roads need to be removed/city-ised/turned into railway lines, and a proper cityscape constructed.

    Dreadful proposals, fully in the grip of science fiction nonsense and hypermobility wet dreams.

  • I also thought about corbusiers plan to raise the Marais to build skyscrapers.

    You're right if course, putting a wind turbine on top of a high rise is like saying electric cars will solve traffic problems.

    But seeing as we just get 3kms of brand new autobahn I don't think that those roads will disappear soon.

    And I like sci-fi!

  • Well, of course they won't disappear quickly, least of all in car-obsessed (and economically heavily dependent on the car industry) Germany. I like sci-fi as fantasy, but not as a blueprint for transport policy and ways of life.
