Favorite YouTube Channels for Urban Planners

City Beautiful & Not Just Bikes (guessing it's the same for many). Obf have some interesting videos on the subject as well.

More transport related: RMTransit and Stockholmshjärta (swedish channel).

Haven’t heard about the copycat thing before, so thanks, will look in to it!

Non-gridded cities > gridded cities

But to actually answer the question, mostly the ones already mentioned

Other than that it's usually incidental watches

[mellow ferry]

Alan Fisher is great as well, OBF is a copycat

gridded cities are much better to live in, i much complain on a city not being on a grid for navigating

[split fractal]

thats cap, a properly done gridded city would be much nicer

[vital otter]

Massive

It may be what you're more accustomed to, I'll give you that

[split fractal]

did you watch the video linked above?

density and connectivity are the things you need

[vital otter]

I have, and they're fine

But i fundamentally disagree with the claim they're the best system

Even if I don't include practical problems into that assessment

There's a reason they're not generally popular (even if there are exception) and most newly planned cities haven't followed a grid pattern for obvious reasons

[split fractal]

newer us cities?

[vital otter]

The US isn't the world tho

[split fractal]

yes i know i just want you to clarify

[vital otter]

(and is also known for a relative abundance of space which mitigates some of the disadvantages)

[split fractal]

because our cities arent gridded because of lobbyists from the automotive industry

[hoary raft]

Yup love watching them and now because of Not Just Bikes, my dream country is the Netherlands

[hoary raft]

nah non gridded cities are much better, most of the time the UK does it and it just makes a place unique

in america its just the same road design all the time. Its ok to have grids on minor roads but on main roads, it should be kept to a minimum

ive watched some of his yt videos

good channel suggestion

[hexed granite]

i think we should make companies to lobby against the automobile industry

also buying blackrock stock would be a smart move as well
