The apartment blocks - two of perhaps a hundred - are surrounded by open greenery, wide walkways and dense tram networks. Most of them have café bars, bookstores, grocery stores or the like on the ground level and loads of benches, play areas and exercise equipment dotted about. The place is rife with Third Places.
The remarkable thing about these is that, to the locals, they seem fairly unremarkable.
Yeah, that’s kinda normal in Europe, but there’s also lots of choice for how urban you want to live.
Im pretty sure I know those buildings. They’re also near the main station and have Tram connections within easy walking distance.
Yep, those are they! I spent a half-hour at nearby coffee shop, Kaffeesatz, chatting with a couple of residents.
Thanks for sharing! It does look feel though it’s less about architecture and more about the urbanism and planning? Would you like to post this to !humanscale@communick.news ?
God I wish I lived there and not in suburban hell
