I have lived in one of these "apartment complex". This is not pedestrian friendly city design, but is a crony capitalism nightmare. Those complexes are not for public, and are strictly exclusive like gated community in US. Outsiders are not allowed to use amenities like playgrounds and parks inside, sometimes not even allowed to go through (because u know, poor people stink). Even inside the community there is a division between home owners and renters where the former look down on the latter. These complexes are surrounded by urban highways just like what you see here, and they are NOT pedestrian friendly. Didn't you see motorbikes blocking sidewalks and people having to use pedestrian bridge to walk across those highways? Plus you can hear highway noise from your bedroom 24/7, even if you close all windows.

@Yeet42069 Depending on a source people on wheelchair take up 1-2% of population, and that is not a very slim minority. They do seem very rare though because they're strongly discouraged to go outside in places like this.

Lived in Seoul for 10 years as native, I don’t consider streets in Seoul orderly and pedestrian friendly at all - sidewalks there are parking lot + bikepath + motorbike lane + dumpster garage. But I’m comparing it to European cities so maybe I have a different PoV.

@DecCat That’s not a good excuse, downtowns like this must have a huge positive tax revenue, planting some trees on the sidewalk costs nothing compared to that. Besides trees cool down the city by offering shade, reduce carbon and pollutant in the air, and boost real estate values. It’s just a lazy and bad urban design. Rural area being green in the smas province doesn’t make an excuse for the city being a depressing concrete jungle either.

@jsb8888 I lived in one of the satellite cities near Seoul. These apartment complexes are also widely popular in Korea

@TheSmokey1523 Pedestrian overpass is hard to access for disabled, wheelchairs, bicycles, carts, luggages, etc, even with elevators. Even for healthy people it creates a psychological barrier across the road and it cuts the neighbor in two. A pedestrian friendly city wouldn’t build 6-lane urban highway in the first place. By the way they ARE mingling with the motorbike traffic riding on sidewalks. It sucks whether it’s in China or anywhere else.

@DecCat What? I saw a bad city design and someone making crap excuses for it so I made a comment, period. I actually trash on urban designs in the US and my country much, much more than I do on China. That's what people in free countries do. You being over sensitive and butthurt on petty stuff is not my problem.

@OficialAdler usually there should be an entry to underground parking lot. Considering average income in China many people don't own a car, so many of them ride bikes, motorbikes or electric wheelchairs.

notrius7754 urban highway isn't urbanistic... liberal urbanites are against the car traffic in general

@DecCat Are you copy and pasting the exact same stuff on every thread? What does the letter beauty has to do with any of this?😂

@DecCat Now that’s a proper obnoxious knee-jerk reaction I expect from an insecure Chinese nationalist. China lost 11Mha over the course of last 20 years in total. It’s actually even worse because the CCP removed natural forests and replaced them by poorly planned cha bu duo planting, like planting trees in arid areas where water is very scarce thereby ruining all local farmlands. China is NOT the leader of global green initiative, don’t give me BS. It’s the biggest polluter and the only polluter who’s radically INCREASING coal based power generation. I never said what people there should do or not, I just said your excuses are bad. Besides I can have an opinion on anything, don’t meddle with my freedom of speech. Man this app isn’t even legal in China.

@schnitzelblitz96 There should be plenty of plants that can thrive with less or indirect sun exposure. I've seen tall trees between high rises like this. My guess is that the local authorities didn't want to bother with plant nurturing, disease and bug control, fire safety, cleaning up leaves and branches, fixing damaged sidewalks by roots and etc. Btw China is not a safe country... most statistics coming from China are farce, like covid statistics. It's a dog-eat-dog society where women and children are literally get snagged in the broad daylight and no one steps in. Last year a woman in Chongqing was beaten up after she rejected a thug who was flirting with her, in the smack middle of a busy downtown BBQ restaurant. The assault was so brutal that she went in to a coma, but no one helped. This is why people want to move to those exclusive apartment complexes, and as that Chinese ultranationalist in the comment said amenities in the communities are private properties and strictly exclusive for the residents.

@arthurwatts1680 I have actaully been to Bangkok and Siem reap both as a tourist for few days. Bangkok felt more or less like Seoul (many more motorbikes of course), depending on which part of Seoul are you comparing to. Siem reap was a total chaos. I was always on edge.

@arthurwatts1680 Yes, Siem Reap was indeed like the wild west… To be fair there are lots of places that do look clean in Seoul. I lived near Seokgye station, If you google it you’ll see street food vendors selling pig intestines and narrow, crowded and disorderly streets.

@DecCat Dude I’m not your English teacher, I don’t have time to read and grade your boring essay. Besides if you expect someone to engage you learn to speak without being rude and arrogant.
