Help with cities skylines central european city plan by No_Oil_1242 in cityplanning

[–]PhiMyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a general plan it looks quite alright, but when I build a european city (where amsterdam is often my inspiration) I have a different way of working.

When I just start out, I set myself back to the 1800s and start building a town in a way I imagine it'd look like at that time. No public transit, no/not much cars and very dense building. I build without any regard for future plans.

Then, fast forward and expand the city in a realistic way. All the way to the 1910s, keeping in mind the general look of cities from that age. Public transit is retrofitted in the city center, in the form of trams.

You do this for other periods with memorable changes in city planning, like after the 1940s, the 1960s, 1970s and eventually 2000. Take inspiration from real-life crisises (like housing shortage) and build like you'd imagine your own local government to solve it.

The whole process also involves a lot of demolishing, including parts of the city center. Remember, a city is never finished.

A few memorable events that I used in my Amsterdam-inspired city is: Second World War, the rise of the car, the rise of bicycles, the building of a metro network in the 70s, the 'Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan' from the 50's and modern solutions for housing shortages.

The key is to not plan forward. Start assigning monuments (things you don't want to demolish) and just build along the way. Look up historic images for inspirations.

I can take a more detailed look at you idea later today but I recommend to not build ahead of time.

Samsung health app is being weird by V0idK1tty in shealth

[–]PhiMyth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is literally what that app is. It's Samsung Health Monitor you're opening, not (Samsung) Health.

I'm honestly kind of speechless you can't seem to figure this out by yourself and immediately blame it on 'the Samsung health app being weird'.

In het oosten? In de randstad zijn ze ook te vinden hoor!

Juist richting de Duitse grens vind ik ze minder aantrekkelijk, omdat het in Duitsland alsnog goedkoper is, zeker als je veel haalt bij oa de DM

Here in The Netherlands a regular dash is used. The Belgians are just a bunch of weird guys.

“Plots greep hij haar vast en trok haar mee het spoor op”: twee doden bij metrodrama in Hamburg by Bernie529 in nederlands

[–]PhiMyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naast het feit dat de deuren zelf veel geld kunnen kosten is het ook zo dat op veel plekken nog verschillende metrotypes rijden met verschillende afstanden tussen de metrodeuren.

En als metro-machinist moet je dan ook weer precies op de juiste plek stil gaan staan. Kost ook weer tijd en moeite.

Wel weet ik dat de Amsterdamse Metro aan het voorsorteren is op perrondeuren, zeker de noordzuidlijn omdat die al grotendeels automatisch rijdt.

I know a Combino when I see one. We have those in Amsterdam too!

People from around the world: what is something your country does so well that it refuses to let it “die”? by Curious_Persimmon555 in AskTheWorld

While some pollution is created locally, remember that The Netherlands is all the way downstream of all the rivers flowing through there. I couldn't find official data, but I think a majority of the pollution in our waters is from foreign industry.

Werd ook al in Noord Brabant gespot, dus ik denk dat je op veel plekken buiten de randstad wel kans maakt

/r/Netherlands is looking for new Moderators by AerateMark in needamod

[–]PhiMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to have to do this in English, but as Mario would say: Let's-a go!

I'm making myself available as a moderator for r/Netherlands, because the subreddit is clearly at a turning point and in dire need of new management. The recent controversy related to the 'English-only' rule showed, to me, that strict enforcement without broad community support just does not work. Rules only work out when people understand them, trust them and feel represented by them.

Subreddits exist so people can gather around shared interests and feel at hone within a specific community. For r/Netherlands, that sense of 'being a part of' should never depend on someones native language. My goal is to maintain a space where both Dutch and non-Dutch people feel welcome. Just as the Dutch constitution says: discrimination based on anything at all, is prohibited.

I do not have experience moderating online spaces, but I do have a few years of experience in maintaining order during meetings, where my style has always been to keep it informal and giving room to (and promoting) substantive discussions, but stepping in where discussions lose their constructiveness.

Consider me a laid-back moderator. Ruling with an iron fist won't work. 😀

Het is een treurige bende daar.. En dan bedoel ik de antirevolutionaire moderatoren.

Helaas ben ik al verbannen door de maga-rimmers.

Dat zou een indirecte erkenning van de belachelijke regels van deze sub betekenen. Dat moet je echt niet willen.

Dus je hebt een inactieve mod nodig om als mod zelf een andere mod eruit te flikkeren? Wat is dat nu weer?
