  1. Man, that second shopping centre is beautiful! I wouldn't even have noticed it was a shopping centre if you had mentioned it, it blends in beautifully with each other. Didn't think it was still possible to build a shopping area with such architectural beauty today, everything just look like bland squares you enter and exit as quickly as possible these days...

  2. Dresden rebuilt its historic city centre and the added costs for the decorations were a stunning... 5%. It is 100% possible, stop making excuses.

  3. Fantastic video! Though if I may be able to bring in some constructive criticism - slow down a bit with the transitions. I feel like currently the transitions are a bit too fast, when in reality I want the time to really let the images sink in and analyze them. Delaying them with a second or two would make a great difference already. As for the rest of the video - there are many more similar firebombings that happened in Germany, I found out. Not just in what is today considered Germany, but also in places now in Poland like Szczecin (Stettin), Gdansk (Danzig) and Świnoujście (Swinemünde). I'll save you the horrible details of the many that brutally died in what I'd call deliberate firestorms, but the cities itself fared little better. Luckily they have been rebuilt for the most part, but these bombings seem to have been long forgotten. And also, the DDR buildings can go for all I care. Not just because having nostalgia for a regime as brutal as the DDR is just... cringe, but especially because the houses itself look in a bad shape and you could achieve a similar but much nicer result with the designs you showed. I am very glad this video is made, thank you The Aesthetic City! Here's hoping you'll make one on Gdansk next in the future, that city has an interesting history of its own regarding reconstruction. Cheers!

  5. 6:18 oh hey, I'm mentioned! And yes, this is a great first step to improve a small but growing town. I dearly wish this upon every place in the U.S., but the hardest step will be the undoing of the massive damage that is the highways smack dab through the middle of cities and towns, and rebuilding them elsewhere. It'll cost a lot, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Then the real improvement can begin.
