Title: Every Urban Design That RUINS Your Life Explained in 9 Minutes

  • Stroads combine the worst of streets and roads, causing slow traffic and danger for pedestrians.
  • Parking craters destroy vibrant city blocks, replacing buildings with unnecessary parking lots.
  • Car suburbs force dependency on vehicles, making life difficult for those without cars.
  • Dead plazas lack shops and cafes, making them empty and uninviting public spaces.
  • Highway cuts divide communities, often disproportionately affecting low-income neighborhoods.
  • Drive-thrus redesign streets around cars, eliminating pedestrian-friendly spaces.
  • Cul-de-sacs create car-dependent neighborhoods with poor emergency access and higher childhood obesity rates.
  • One-way streets optimize traffic flow but eliminate street life and make pedestrian crossing dangerous.
  • Urban design choices often prioritize cars over community well-being and pedestrian safety.
  • Poor urban planning leads to long-term negative impacts on communities and their residents.
