Some RL city planning inspiration perhaps?

Post by Diderot Mirabeau »

I just read in an RL news source about the RL 'new town' of 'Jakriborg' (situated about 15 minutes by train from where I live), which is a modern day village consisting of houses inspired by pre-industrial, Hanseatic architecture with a striking resemblance to that of Neufreistadt.

Take a look at their [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakriborg:pmzwk3qk]Wikipedia entry[/url:pmzwk3qk] for some architectural inspiration.

When the weather gets better I might pay a visit bringing along my camera.

Also Wikipedia links to the related British project of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundbury:pmzwk3qk]Poundbury[/url:pmzwk3qk], with the following CDS-similar features in terms of city planning and management:
[quote="Wikipedia":pmzwk3qk]To avoid constant construction, utilities are buried in common utility ducts under the town. Common areas are maintained by a management company to which all residents belong.[/quote:pmzwk3qk]

I came across these pictures from Romania:
(Maybe some inspiration for Michel and Oni's NFS office?)
