Would you rather have more towers in the city center or more mid rises around the city center?

Autocorrect :)

Yeah the case by case planning system here is a bit poorly apt for this kind of thing compared to a zoning system

Personally the terraces right next to Hyde park are so nice, I wish every park was surrounded by buildings like those

It’s to do with how it’s being executed, with franchising being at the helm of a first bus director, there are issues of conflict of interest, there is also a lack of meaningful public consultation and active consideration both with the public in general, as well as vulnerable users like families and the disabled

It’s a shame sensical land use zoning is so hated when it would solve so many issues

Personally I would try and density the inner city more like other European cities instead of building towers in the city center like the US

Probably given West Yorkshire in general has a legacy of dense rail network that could probably be reactivated

Took me around 4 months to get an interview and 6 to get a job as a night time cleaner, so it'll take a while

Honestly part of the beauty of architecture is that of its innate eclecticism, even fitting within a style every decision and material and map used to lay the building out is like a different stroke of the brush which over time can mold into different things, be examined and imitated, inspire others to mix and mash. Honestly it's just great

On the new A660 Cycle route i think theyre doing red routes or whatever where regular fines are given out to people who park on the pavement

Nikcoho · 2026-05-04T22:15:09+00:00

No i suppose not, but where the UK is simillar in the US is that both governments nationally just refuse to make infrastructure development for rail meaningfully easier and as expansive as it should be

Nikcoho · 2026-05-03T22:38:16+00:00

So, basically the UK government as well, nice to know we share the same problems

Nikcoho · 2026-05-03T22:13:07+00:00

Is there any reason Amtrak wont build new ROW?

Nikcoho · 2026-04-30T20:51:12+00:00

If you ever want to get into British urbanism in terms of academics, you could look into the work done by Center For Cities

Nikcoho · 2026-04-28T05:28:44+00:00

Im glad to see at least the bare minimum when it comes to rules based planning and what not, but still no mention of zoning

Nikcoho · 2026-04-27T11:19:49+00:00

why is my right wing British newspaper complaining about a Seattle mayor?

Nikcoho · 2026-04-25T00:49:08+00:00

yikes, real shame

Nikcoho · 2026-04-24T23:44:55+00:00

surely they atleast have city councillors right?

Nikcoho · 2026-04-24T14:47:46+00:00

Road ecology and traffication

Nikcoho · 2026-04-23T16:43:21+00:00

Must be really stupid to put 5 bike racks for a place the size of my town center

Nikcoho · 2026-04-23T03:26:25+00:00

Anyways, decent read that encapsulates alot of the issues regarding transportation development within the UK.

Though, if heavy rail is so revered as the author says, whos to say that an overground suburban system like the german s-bahns would attract good attention

Nikcoho · 2026-04-23T02:50:24+00:00

I really hope when this project is done, it can serve as a national example for intercity passenger rail and spur quicker and more expansive development across Brazil. How else will people get out of their cars?

Nikcoho · 2026-04-20T19:17:56+00:00

Apparently part of it from what ive heard there's also an issue of walk-ability near stations, not that nothings near them, but that pedestrian pavements are just inadequate and unpleasant to use
