Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.

    But 1) apartments don’t tend to be built in suburban sprawl, and 2) even the worst suburban sprawl in europe is still generally bikeable, there’ll be a lidl or something within a reasonable distance.

    Got this thread mixed up with another, similar one. Ignore this reply lol.

      I was passing through the back blocks of Sydney, new suburbs that are a long way from anywhere. If you want to go anywhere it’s by car.

      Infill of the inner areas especially around railways is happening which is great but the sprawl continues.

        but are poor people really living in the suburban sprawl? I’m not debating whether the sprawl forces you to drive, my point is that suburbs are for rich people.

        i just realized this is not the thread i thought it was, whoops
