NGL I like that aesthetic. Not something to live in of course, nor want to see it irl, but it's pleasing to see
You familiar with Brutalism?
This one might be a little unfair to blanket stamp with FuckCars - this is a crazy compact way of joining so many different arterial roads and funneling them into a single bridge (one that goes over a river, not just an overpass). It's also crazily walk/bike-able (seriously, there's more space than I've ever seen on a sidewalk in the states, on both sides of the bridge), and has lane restrictions for transit at peak load times. While gorgeously breathtaking in it's monstrosity, it's certainly one of the better car-brain designs out there.
Even though it looks kinda cool and cyberpunk, it's still gross that there's so many roads completely built over a city where people work and live, with a No Cycling sign suggesting cyclists and pedestrians are second class citizens here.
The other big problem of vertical congestion like this is air pollution. I once looked at living close to a raised highway like this, but you’d more or less have to hold your breath every time you return home.
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!
