Comment on Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy
fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 6 days agoAs someone who grew up in Suburbia I can say that higher density would be better since it was more kids to play with nearby. We should make sure that there’s a park within walking distance of dense housing going forward I think, since if you don’t have a private car the park is a reasonable ask, especially since it’s probably going to be even better than some dumb piece of grass anyways

Absolutely, I’m not US and I have no experience with megacities, but I am trying to find ways to build cities that better match our needs going forward. I don’t know if the American car dependent suburbia is what is needed either. As for parks in dense cityscapes, I’ve listened to clever architects who’ve discovered statistical regression claim that parks are more valuable per square meter the smaller they are… And while true in and of itself, it asks the question, how small is the minimum for them to be usable? Humans that experience greenery (even arranged) daily are healthier both mentally and physically. Where is the cut off?
