My friends would all tell you how tired they are of hearing me go on and on about urban planning and infrastructure.
The ways in which our communities are built have such a large and profound impact on our lives, yet most people give little thought to it. IMO a great deal of the social woes we're dealing with (at least in North America) are caused or made worse by our lack of sensible city-planning, from carbon emissions to social isolation.
There exists so many cool and interesting ways to build solid, sustainable communities! It's really exciting! Sadly I have to live that excitement by researching other countries. The only form of city-planning that seems to exist here in Canada is "highway going through a parking lot interspaced with strip malls and encircled by single-family housing suburbs".
I'm into this too. Is there a good Lemmy community dedicated to urban planning and infrastructure?
