Hey everyone ! as some of you may know, i'm currently making some concept arts of a solarpunk city for an animation project, and there is one thing that i find particularly complicated, it's the urban design and street design ! It's one big puzzle and the things i find on the internet are not quite what i want and i might miss some keywords. (also a LOT of AI images so it doesn't help)
Does anyone have good resources on urban design planning, like cadastral maps in sustainable city studies ? I know there is a lot of take on that from wonderful artists, but I'm searching for a more "technical" point of view.
I've also heard that redesigning urban spaces is an effective way to help ensure women's safety. If anyone knows of maps designs made on the subject It would be greatly appreciated, I found serveral interesting articles on the subject but it is often staying kind of general in terms of solutions.
Cheers everyone !

I totally get it! Good solarpunk needs good ideas and tracking them down can be a challenge - especially when they're split into lots of niche domains.

I'm glad you'd be up for sharing notes - we don't have a good page on pedestrianized streets in the worldbuilding wiki yet so anything we track down for this could be a great addition. I tend to focus more on rural/exurban areas so I haven't done much reading on the subject yet but I can ask around on a few communities I'm in!

I could set up a document we can paste links and notes into, maybe etherpad, cryptpad, or Google docs, whatever works for you!

    yeah ! I mean eventually I'd like to have some really specific subjects/professions or certain community represented in the octasolis project and I won't be able to just... do it out of only me, because i'm just not concerned and people just live their lives and they can tell you tons of little details that really makes the environment and ambiance speak for itself haha
    Ofc ! etherpad sounds great. I can just add my notes on the one you created about the Mcmansion Hell discord responses if it's ok ? Did you add your work on rural and exurban areas to the wiki too ? sounds like a fantastic source for inspiration !
