I can't be the only one who wondered what cytosol tastes like when we read about it in class...

Articles, essays, or studies on the effect of car centric planning and social detachment?
Hi everybody.
I'm sorry if my question is really weirdly specific. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time.
You ever see those movies, where people live in this techno-future dystopia, skyscrapers and traffic clogged freeways, car - centric urban planning with no greenery, no trees, think of like Times Square NYC, hyper capitalist neolib dystopia kind of thing.
You see in those movies, the main character (a socially detached loner) depressed, part of the reason is not just a horribly atomized and superficial Society, but the other reason is the wretched urban planning and brutalist architecture.
I think there's been a few articles already on the importance of good architecture for creating a more "communal" mental effect for the people in the town.
I'm wondering if you guys found any articles or essays on the importance of specifically good urban planning (I already read about architecture). Stuff about how car centric urban planning atomizes the individual, ruins the social fabric, ruins the communal mentality, etc.. Sociological stuff.
If you do, please comment. I'd love to read.

Warren Farrell and Scott Galloway went into this
I still don't understand why not USA / Canada, where cars are very common
Damn. I think they should still give food, but yeah he should gtfo.
We need to get off fossil fuels ASAP, we also should probably wean away from car centricity, it's making us dependent on these oil cartels. They have an oligopoly and they can just yank the prices up if they want and screw over everybody else.
Fair enough, but I'd make a few objections,
I don't think an imbalance necessarily means that we should automatically assume discrimination, for example there is a small correlation between sex and interest (men to objects, women to living things) which may account for some discrepancy in certain fields.
Hiring committees would depend but very often we see HR is majority female, and some studies show that female named job applications in certain cases may be more favoured even when the exact same application is given with a male name.
In terms of school, I can attest that boys need to stop fucking around during class time and actually pay attention, but I've seen another study show that for the exact same work, public school teachers sometimes mark higher for a girls work.
The last point I would make is that there are quite a few female only grants and bursaries and aid programs, but there's very few that outright exist for males.
That's my two cents, but I understand your perspective as well.
I think Warren Farrell especially, and a bit of Leonard Sax as well have gone into this in more detail.
Unfortunately the mainstream feminist objection is that "men should just make their own support organizations" but the problem is sometimes the government won't give them a nickel, which I find absurd.
This guy in Calgary Canada made a men's domestic violence shelter, (shockingly women are first statistically to initiate domestic violence, which I didn't know). This was around 2011 or so? But the local feminists at the time online were saying that he should not feel entitled to government funding and only women's shelters should get government funding. I think he killed himself afterwards.
So it seems like when men do band together to make a support group, it doesn't get the same amount of government support as a women's group will.
But rail infrastructure isn't that good yet in north America.
Canada's real Queen is dead, lady! Get out!
I heard of this thing called microtransit, that might work?
Wait fr? When
We regulate cars pretty heavily, we regulate guns decently.
When it comes to dogs, across the entire world, literally crickets chirping. No government does anything.
The gist of it: with each passing decade there's a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn't showing up.
I've seen a few articles in the past few years about young men supposedly checking out of society and work, I wonder if there is a connection between that and this article here because young men tend to be the prime demographic for working this job.
Companies need to pay their workers better.
Pretty much all female teachers, constantly scolded and lectured boys, said they were aggressive and misbehaved (honestly the boys were really mild in kindergarten)
Fast forward to seventh grade, the boys turned out exactly the way the teacher said but worse.
All female teachers through the years of elementary, except for like 1
I've seen a few other articles on this issue and the double standard is astounding.
If a conventional minority group struggles, they need to be helped. If it's a man, screw them! They're oppressive and don't deserve help.
If men are dominant in certain fields, it's a sign of systematic discrimination against women. If women are dominant in certain fields, then that's just because men suck at xyz and this is just the natural outcome.
And the funny part is, I read one article about this and the editor (a middle aged woman as usual) said that this imbalanced ratio is an issue because surprise surprise young women won't have enough men to date!
It's almost like men's issues only matter if it affects women, and somehow that's the only concern.
I meant like, why doesn't Wikipedia have a filter to detect stuff like that, obv it isn't allowed
yeah bro i saw the pic and i was like what the fuck lmao
Todd Litman from the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (Canada) discusses some methods for creating shaded pathways to protect pedestrians from excess heat.
I'm in Toronto Canada and it's a very car dependent landscape unfortunately and honestly I'm a little jealous seeing European places and how nice they are with their rich history. Meanwhile here in Ontario we have quadruple-carriageways and stroads lined with strip malls and big-box stores with their expansive parking lots. Unless you're with friends, going outside can be pretty bleak to the eye.
My ideal town would be as such
-
a car-free and dense downtown area with rowhouses and condo units above cafes and shops
-
lots of trees and greenery
-
traditional architectural design
What would you think for yours?
I'm really into traditional architecture and pre-automobile urban planning. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of that in North America. I know there are a few, I was wondering if Ontario specifically has any nice villages that fit this description? Preferably not abandoned ones, i am looking for ones still inhabited.
With this heatwave ive been dreaming about a cool winter mornings
