Space used for parking cars.
Uh yeah it would be funny to add red to all the roads
It's even better when it's done in a different colour. Then it makes it really clear that the freeway is wider than the 3 parking that abut it on the left.
*car storage
space used for cars would include streets, roads, and highways as well
Yup. I came to point this out too.
A lot of the time, there are minimum parking requirements - e.g. a mall is required by law to have enough parking for their busiest day of the year. So the other 364 days of the year, guess what happens...
edit: right, europe. But i don't think it's better in US.
Cities are designed for cars now. Ridiculous
In some places.
That color scheme is really hard for my color blind eyes to see, since the orange (?) and green blend together, but dang, what a fucking statement it makes! Just imagine what could be there if people weren't driving. Amazing visual.
At some point all there'll be is car parks and nowhere to actually go once you step out of your car.
in Houston one would suffer without a car. it's designed completely around cars and trucks.
Assuming the random dafa I got off the internet is true, 5% of the US is covered by parking and the area of the US is 2.4 billion acres, digging these fucking things up and planting trees could sequester about a billion tons of CO2 per year (while, you know, preventing billions of tons from cars). Making all surface parking in to parks with grass and trees could sequester about 6 billion tons per year.
Did this come from CityNerd's video or someone else?
CityNerd's maps tend to be much prettier than this (not trying to throw shade, I would literally do much worse than this) and lately, he's just be using this instead of making his own.
