It just shows that money and intelligence dont always go hand in hand. They may have billions maybe even trillions of dollars but they dont even know how to design a functional city.

@Marwan-_-7m Obviously. Bad city designg originated in USA. Dubai was literally inspired by American cities and suburbs.

@MrBsehratmaannking This whole thing was such a waste tho. Cities worked perfectly fine back then. Sure they werent perfect and had some flaws but overall they were pretty good since city design had thousands of years of experimentation and improvements. But then the modernists came and decided to completely reinvent the wheel for absolutely no reason. Why reinvent something that already works. What we shouldve done was to just improve upon the already existing city design principles. We keep thinking we are better and smarter than the people from the past which leads to us making these type of mystakes. The saying "Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It” fits perfectly to this topic.

@AL-lh2ht Im not talking about the wealth of the people. Im talking about the city design. Your capitalist mind only thinks about money. People who live in the city may be rich but the city itself is very inconvenient and poorly designed. You can be a billionaire but you still have to traverse a massive highway in order to get to the grocery store. Thats inconvenient and poor design.
