@OctoLumia Are you familiar with @notjustbikes?
If not, I very strongly recommend checking out his channel on YouTube.
Here's some to start with:

Here's some images from cities that are a good urban environment.
The main street of Kaunas, Lithuania: https://pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauskas/854076474905888405

In Australia, cycling aside, Parramatta is about as good as any city centre gets in terms of being high-density and pedestrian-friendly:

There's more of this sort of stuff on my Pixelfed account.
A basic rule of thumb is to think about how easily you'd get about a city if you don't own a car.
Can you walk around comfortably? Is there good public transport? Are there car-free streets? Are there dedicated barrier-protected bike lanes on main roads?
Can you comfortably get to everywhere you need to go without a car?
Are there parks and green open spaces?
Are there mixed-use buildings, with shops and cafés on the ground floor and offices or apartments above?
Does public transport run every 10 minutes or better? Does it take you everywhere you need to go?
Are there public spaces, like town squares, to hang out in?

The suburban experiment was designed to skip over the messy process of incrementally assembling a neighborhood. But those steps are necessary, if the neighborhood is to grow strong and endure. Neighborhoods built all at once go bad all at once.

Driving through a town near where we live, my wife remarks that the layout of a particular junction seems to change every time we go there.
I replied that it was a #Roguelike junction. She did not understand.

One feature of Perth, WA is the 8 kilometres of formerly beautiful riverside from Mill Point in South Perth, south to Mt Henry, that is made obscene by the Kwinana Freeway.
I was living in a caravan park nearby when they got serious about really stuffing that place up.
What folk-memories are out there about how this was allowed to happen?

It’s an urban climate conundrum - do you actively take every opportunity to plant trees on urban streets to dramatically decrease the heat sink effect and work to significantly cool the concrete streetscape; or by doing so, do you create the conditions for a conflagration wiping out an urban area as climate change dries everything out to the point of being a spark away from fuel?

I finished reading this a few hours ago; “Feminist City” by Leslie Kern.
It is a wide ranging book that sets out key issues around the way that both spaces and society are structured and how they relate to one another. If you’re involved in town planning or transport planning, you should read this, and try to digest and act on it. Men in particular.
