I just want a diversity of architecture styles to be common, I love areas that are an eclectic mix of styles; it makes me feel like so many different people care about the area.
It also shows the strength and resilience of an area. Places like that have weathered many booms and busts. It's particularly interesting when one building has many styles, having been continuously occupied for hundreds of years. Or in some cases, even longer.
@Wahots @apt_install_coffee Universities are good for that. Nothing that old here but my one had 5 buildings from different times (oldest being Victorian era) joined together, using a mixture of direct joins, a shared lobby, and enclosed bridges
Universities are like little cities. I love all the different styles they have :)
