...yeah, urban hellscapes are pretty bleak but it's obvious someone tried here to make the best they could of what they had to work with...dense as it is in hong kong, the other nice thing is that you don't have to travel too far to experience open parklands...
Oh come on… Hellscape is pretty dramatic don’t you think? I don’t wanna hear that from anyone who hasn’t been to America…
I know it’s played out at this point but the building I’m working in is 10x worse than this and they keep letting one company build them and block the view of the river !!! We could use some more trees and tennis courts here!!!
It takes about two acres of agricultural land to feed a human. Every single person in every single one of those apartments is using two acres somewhere else.
Instead of living comfortably in small settlements somewhere in the vicinity of those two acres, they have decided to move hundreds of miles away, and stack themselves in disgusting concrete blocks. The ground supports about 320 people per square mile; they've decided to miserably cram 50,000 of themselves into that same square, pushing out everything alive but the rats, cockroaches, and other vermin thriving on their detritus.
There should be more trees than windows through which to see them. When that ratio inverts, it's time to call a demolitionist not an architect.
