Obviously a simplification/joke but curious how accurate it is and figured there would atleast be one person here who knows lol
damn chinese monopoly board is looking good
Yeah it's pretty good.
I'd put more apartments and malls tho
Accurate as fuck lmao 😭
Subway station in the middle of a field is borderline but everything else is pretty good
extremely accurate, esp the nail house in the middle of the highway
What's a nail house?
Weird little quirk about Chinese housing law, asked a Chinese friend and they said there's usually a house or two per city like this. Usually they do get demolished by the time construction is done but construction companies really hate haggling for a price and the residents can just sit there until the construction company is fed up and pays out a big sum.
You forget, ebil kkkomunist kkkhina owns everything and kills you for your stuff
Which is funny since if that scenario happens in the US (which is very rare as it would likely be 'sorted out' long beforehand), the construction company/developer will more often than not just run to city when they get fed up and next thing you know the holdout is being served papers for eminent domain.
China has eminent domain too, but if the construction company makes the government come down there they're gonna have a bad time.
Never new what these were called. My Grandpa worked for a joint venture in China and said there was the one old lady who wouldn't sell and the just built the factory around her house.
not enough urban villages, they should be crammed between every other kinda-central highrise development. (if you're in eastern china they're the best place for sichuan food)
also a city bigh enough to have a massive ring road would also have like three new train stations on opposite sides of the city. and many cities don't have an old train station, they went from no train straight to HSR like ten years ago.
HOWEVER if the city does have an old train station, the area on the map labeled "hotels" are going to be the sketchiest type of hostels you've ever seen, catering to people just coming in from the countryside. see the hostel scene in Lost on Journey for reference
Decorative highway interchange
it must be a tourist trap
not enough ring roads
Missing a heritage university campus area, but other than that pretty good
This is pretty accurate to Wuhan except there's like 3 ring roads and like 100 lakes. Even the position: Shanghai directly east, Beijing to the north and Guangdong to the south.
Train to Guangzhou is accurate, every Chinese city have one either directly or indirectly.
The plaza of "Map of Every Chinese City" is a pretty lit place ngl
This could be a map of London to be honest.
Also Paris.
Really not sure what the criticism is, this seems to be a pretty natural evolution of city development.
Nah, European Cities have layers. There's the old city in the center (not just a gate but the entire old city that was enclosed by the medieval fortifications) which is surrounded by 19th century neoclassic quarters with mixed use. Instead of factories there's brownfields where factories used to be. Nail houses don't exist at all. There may be some high rise quarters but not as many, and instead of having that clear break between city and surrounding farms there's scores of suburban single family home developments.
That really doesn't describe London or Paris. Yes there was once an enclosed old city, there are some famous landmarks within it, but that enclosed old city is literally the skyscraper bank/finance-capital zone of London now. In Paris it doesn't exist because the city was and rebuilt by Napoleon. All the other features are mostly correct.
And London has a few nail houses, the problem with finding them is that nail house is not a popular term to use in the UK: https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/wtf/london-nail-house-wickham-spiegelhalters-566867.html
First of all comrade shark fucker please refrain from fucking to many sharks they’re my favourite animal
2nd
Imagine getting mad because there are efficient forms of city planning
i don't think anybody's mad here
Death to America
Well people would have a right to be either way death to fucking America
It would be cool to drive some kind of classic style Chinese sports car around a bunch of cities and country roads on vacation.
I too would like to bike around China /j
Are you saying all Chinese cities look the same?
Woah.
