i think i should erase those drunk posts, they were kinda deep so ill leave them. i made this today
pink lines are horizontal buildings, black squares are buildings, red line in streetcar and blue lines are train lines. then you can put other buildings in this downtown
That's pretty wicked man. I was checking out a book on permaculture design, and it dawned on me that your designs are quite similar to that of a spider web: geometric & symmetrical. I'm guessing that it makes it more energy/resource efficient that way (as it does for the spider to get its food).now im don, just made a simple thing in daz 3d
Here are some random links to potential inspirations:
- Rafael Araujo's work features incredible geometric designs based on Phi ratio: https://www.rafael-araujo.com/about-me
- MC Escher's works involving symmetry: https://www.mcescher.com/gallery/symmetry/
- This concept by Jaime Lerner uses Acupuncture; Feng Shui (and other Eastern) principles to Urban Design in order to improve the mental health of its inhabitants. Brilliant idea! More on his work

I forgot I made this, I might as well post it somewhere. but now looking at the square buildings it looks ugly. one downtown has 448 circular buildings and two would be 896. 24 train lines or 12 for one downtown. it would be like going back to the streetcar age, why has the car age been lasting longer then anything els? how did cars get so lucky? because the people that rule the world are most likely demons born into human bodies maybe. the only way to stop having a ruler is to have everyone be equal, no more people living one the streets would be nice. so free public transportation, free energy generator in the middle of the city and free food from gardens. oh ya and the river isn't polluted so you can go fishing. or you could take the train out to the forest to go bow hunting. im not sure how that would work without people getting shot, but instead of animals locked in cages they can be wild. like chickens or pigs. bigger animals would not be huntable like cows. that would cut down on meat because the people that aren't lazy get to eat meat.

I made this yesterday. im trying to find someone that can make it 3d with color. a guy I know doesn't want to even for money, hes not into cities. he lives in a big city in Europe though ha.
I’ve been reminded of your city designs in making garden landscapes, with trees in the middle and various patches of green and water surrounding. Or the middle could be the compost-waste treatment center instead (where clippings, kitchen wastes and/or manure are upcycled to make compost; grow mushrooms or even make biochar (or all three) and re-distributing on the soil to grow more.
Just food for thought mate. It’s also a great way to see it in action (even if its on a tiny, micro-scale).
that's kinda funny because a couple weeks ago I decided to call the the city shroom city (kinda as a joke). I took out the building in the center and made the ponds smaller. I decided the building height would be 15 stories. that guy might do it, a while ago he said he didn't find this kinda stuff interesting or something. hes really good at making things 3d. hes kinda old and likes building things irl now. my grandpa would do that and he made some cool stuff out of wood, he made a bunch of octagon plant holders. I remember him showing me how he make them when I was little. my dad was into fixing motors and he still is.
I just realized maybe this way is better. its a crappy program that makes it real hard to make the line where you want it to go, so it looks real bad
Your latest designs are looking neat, man.
If you're ever looking to scale up, and figuring out efficient pathways for resources (including transportation), may I suggest copying from Nature who knows best? This is how Japan's railway systems have been designed, by emulating the spread of mold towards its food to figure out the most efficient paths.
