Who /small city/ here?
>tfw "downtown" is almost all parking
At what point does a city move from parking lots to parking structures?
Ålesund is max comfy
Bergen is quite nice
>>53046937
Stavanger is less nice, but it can be excused as it was a rather poor city after the viking ages until modern times. At least it has a lot of spires.
>>53047134
Trondheim is quite nice again.
Like with Bergen, there's some history to be found there.
>>53047367
Fredrikstad is also alright, but most notable for its fortress.
>>53047470
Tromsö is good during winter.
>>53047737
And lastly, Oslo, which is what it is.
Of course there's Tokyo too, which is the best Norwegian city
/norge/posting desu

Barcode is actually soon to be finished, with only one tower left in its cluster under construction.
>>53049114
A couple more towers might be coming to the right here, but still no design for them.
>>53049279
desu I don't know why people hate it
it's not but just it should be taller/bigger but I realise that this is Scandinavia after all
>>53049466
I think the height is alright, as it is right by the waterfront after all. Don't want to have tall wall of towers that blocks out everything else. And it's also a start, as it gradually makes people more and more used to heights. The real towers should come behind, next to these two lonely ones.
Calstock viaduct.
Viaducts are beautiful.
>>53044866
It's so spread out.
Maison, Saint-Thuriau
Beautiful.
Sainte-Anne-d'Auray
>>53050366
And useless today
Pont Croix
France is unbeatable.
>>53049114
It's so odd. If you have a line of important buildings, they're supposed to be on the same street. Each building in that cluster has 2 streets on either side.
>>53050366
When does a viaduct become a bridge? As we have a few that at least look like viaducts.
thank you based poland for these good threads
>>53051086
I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Naturally there's gonna be streets around buildings.
>>53051374
He thinks that buildings have no street access for some reason.
>>53044866
If parking demand requires extention but land purchasing more costly than construction works and ongoing maintance minus operational income.
In your case - not in your lifetime.

No.
They are a cluster of buildings. But if you need to get from one end to the other, you have quite a long walk. Compare that to, say, The City in London. They are bunched together and thus quicker to get to.
I like how Cornish and Brittany architecture is similar. This is Looe, Cornwall, but it could easily be in Brittany.

I don't think you quite understand.
It's barely 250 metres from start to end, with everything behind being trains tracks, and the end of a freeway being to the right. Coupled with the fact that it's a tiny space overall, and the soil in front being weaker, I don't think it would be possible, practical or beneficial to build a City of London type cluster there, especially when grouped with the fact that the 12 towers are barely 50% of the full development. If you had been there, you would also realize how incredibly easy it is to navigate and get from A to B, not to mention interesting, as the gaps between the buildings are all quite unique (and you can literally walk straight through some of the towers).
>>53053172
better than africa ngl
>>53059032
Oslo opera is quite interesting
and pretty large
>>53059032
A couple (outdated) visualizations too, to give an idea of the project.
>>53059289
>>53059131
Indeed it is. Everything about the building feels very majestic and high-class, even the toilets lmao.
>>53059350
reee so barcode will be partly covered with these low rises?
>>53059419
Yeah, but I don't mind. It makes it all look complete. Putting another batch of high-rises there would look silly, and too imposing. Even that one high-rise on the artificial platform in front there looks silly.
Where would you rather live in? Comfy, traditional, "livable" town/small city
>>53059748
or large, bustling metropolis?
>>53059748
Reminds me a bit of a town here called Arendal, but with fancier buildings.
And I'm not sure. I like both "rural" and city life, but maybe the latter, in a central area preferably. I enjoy the feeling of there being life around me, and I also enjoy being in walking distance to all my needs.
>>53059748
Somewhere like Geneva. Comfier than London, still a major global city.
>>53060159
I visited Geneva. And despite all these institutions, I didn't really feel this global vibe. It looked kind of I dont know, a bit empty? Probably it's not large enough for me. But it's a beautiful and clean city for sure.
ayy ded?
>>53044656
great taste
>>53062278
that's not my taste kek
you would be dissapointed to see my taste : ^ )
>>53062467
Show me, I bet I wont be dissapointed
>>53062507
I just prefer skyscrapers and large metropolies than even the qtest towns, but I think this general should be diverse
>>53062507
His taste?
Here
BUMP
>>53065046
reee noo
US Bancorp tower in Portland, OR
>>53066195
wew I imagine this brit sperging if he saw this
>>53066239
Does he hate big glass boxes?
Damn, I honestly didn't know that London was so ugly
>>53066302
yes he came here and was saying things like "just replace ugly manhattan skyscrapers with nice looking low rises"
>>53066497
disgusting desu
>>53066569
He was like "all skyscrapers are shit and should be removed, there is a way to build a large metropoly without skyscrapers at all"
Switzerland is beautiful.
>Brooklyn is getting a supertall
>taller than anything in London
>better looking too
"great" Britian
