I thought Alt Urbanism might enjoy this! A fun little tool which I mainly use to redesign annoying junctions that I’ve cycled through. It’s a really good demonstration of just how much space cars take up and how much better things could be if less roadspace was dedicated to cars.

    Very cool!

    The one thing it seems to be lacking, unless I’m missing it, is a “cost” variable. Since what we’d like to see and what we can afford to build are often very different, it would be nice to have a cost variable to play with!

      True! You could even have upfront cost vs. costs over time. Although if it’s too complicated, it’d turn into SimCity after a certain point.

        I mean, I actually would be really into playing a sustainability focused simcity. Sounds so fun lol Maybe you start out with a modern city and have to work to revamp it into a sustainable city. Or as you build a city you have to manage cost, citizen satisfaction, and environmental effects.
