I'm from the UK, and at one point in my childhood I spent 9 months in America, attending middle school there. While I was there I lived in a Suburban neighborhood in Georgia. These videos managed to help me understand and express the strong isolation I felt during my stay there and for that I'm grateful.

Man, in all the faults and crippling problems we have in this country, at least we don't have an endless desert of NA-style suburbia and even with debilitating politically-motivated public service and transport cuts, we still have real alternatives to spending an eternity in seas of asphalt with only a car to 'keep us afloat'. Sure the push for car-centricity on both an individual and a state level is getting ridiculous, and the toxic motorist culture remains, but I can confidently live the rest of my life without ever needing to buy one of those death trap 1.5 ton steel and fibreglass prisons that are the curtailing of freedoms to an urbanite. I love urbanism channels so much, not only because I am very intrigued by it, but also at least for giving me so much hope that I'd rather have the grime and decay we see over impending financial and traffic congestion doom, the catalysts of which are ugly single-family zoned homes needing to overcompensate by lifeless lawns, and to be thankful I can both be a productive, mobile person and also not have to fear about being isolated, needing to drink drive or be living in a food desert because I can walk absolutely bloody anywhere.

Oh they do, they sneer at car use because that is supposedly hip these days (which isn't true, only a tiny minority of people actually would get rid of their car and the convenience it brings!)...I personally am against car hatred, but not against building better public transport, bike infrastructure, pedestrian infrastructure, mixed zoning (which is luckily the norm in Germany, so yes there is usually at least some stores within walking distance) etc. etc. but I am against banning cars or doing all that at the expense of drivers. You can make compromises here, without making driving a chore that people hate, like in the Netherlands, which for me is a car hater country (and it shows, when they do drive, they are pretty bad at it! I see this every year when they clog up the Autobahn because they have to take their camping trailers and drive to their holiday destination!)!

@@dreamingflurry2729 I mean, I'm pretty sure when they actually asked people something like over 50% said they would ditch their car if given the opportunity, which makes sense because those things are basically Financial white elephants, but even if that wasn't the case, cars are objectively worse for the environment then basically every other form of Transport that you mentioned, so if we want the environment to not collapse, some people might have to be uncomfortable taking the bus. Also you can't both support better infrastructure for other forms of transportation and support car infrastructure. The two are inversely correlated because one form of Transport makes the other worse (ex. You can either give pedestrian priority, which slows down drivers, or driver priority, which puts pedestrians in danger) Car hatred is absolutely Justified. You can argue that there's still a place for cars, but certainly not as the predominant form of transport. Like there is literally no category in which cars are a better form of Transport except maybe comfort, and even then I would dispute that. They don't hate cars because it's the hip thing to do, it's because there's nothing good about cars

Sure cars aren't the most environmentally friendly thing out there, I grant you that, but that can change - electric cars (the only thing they are worse at is road wear and frankly maybe we should look into different road surfaces, asphalt is really old tech after all (note: No, I am not talking about stuff like "solar roadways", they aren't a good idea either))

@@dreamingflurry2729 its called a train. It doesn't get stuck in traffic, travels far faster (and safer) than a car, requires less maintenance, and so much more. It can move far more people the same distance while taking up less space and resources, and depending on factors like the type of train, how far they're traveling, etc can be reasonably comfortable. Also, driving isn't comfortable, i have no idea why people think that. You wouldn't need to worry about bulk groceries because that's a problem CREATED by cars. Because car dependent societies require massive road networks that put massive distances between things like homes, workplaces, etc, its more convenient to make one massive trip where you get everything, where as normally you would buy things from local shops within a block or two as needed, eliminating the need for a way to move a lot of stuff. Instead of going to walmart 5 miles away every week, you just go to your local corner store for most of your groceries. This car-centric shopping model also has the unintended side effect of killing small business, as only massive warehouse stores like walmart can afford the upkeep and scale required to make such a business functional. Cars are a solution to a problem they create. There is no traffic solution that give pedestrians/cyclists AND cars the best infrastructure, this is a one or the other scenario. If you want to move a lot of cars very quickly, you need things like highways, which are structures that create hostile environments for pedestrians and cyclists because of things like noise for creating massive spans that they must cross. This is also true to a lesser extent for regular Roads, especially roads where you have high volumes of traffic. The problem is that you have to give one priority, and the obvious solution to that is to give priority to cyclists and pedestrians as there are far more risk than the average driver. When you build things at the scale that you must for cars be efficient, you create hostile environments for cyclists and pedestrians, but when you create an environment that's friendly for pedestrians and cyclist, you create an environment where using a car becomes ineffective and the inefficient option. As for the environmental damage even if every vehicle on the road became an electric car today, that doesn't mean much. Because the electricity that we use comes from environmentally damaging sources, the amount of energy that cars collectively would use would still make them more environmentally damaging than a train simply because they don't transport people in as significant numbers. Most people drive alone, meaning that for 100 people to move from point A to point B you need about 100 cars. To move that amount of people on a train you only need one or two train cars and you'll have move those people quicker because of the lack of traffic, and far more safely because of the lack of collision zones. And this isn't even to include other factors like the fact that roads create something called the urban Island heating effect where the black asphalt makes cities hotter as it releases heat throughout the day, the high cost of upkeep which bankrupts cities because roadways are far more expensive to maintain than railroads, the fact that cars have a number of plastic components we are still produced from the same crude oils that make their fuel, the fact that lithium for Lithium-ion batteries is an incredibly rare resource, etc. Most forms of transportation are more practical and convenient than cars. Most of the problems that you brought up like the grocery shopping problem are problems that are created because of car Centric infrastructure, and he's problems simply don't exist in places where cars aren't the primary form of transportation. I don't think you realize just how much effort has gone into making cars and efficient form of transportation, because unlike a train, they aren't inherently efficient. While I don't want an outright ban on cars like some people, they should not be a society's primary form of transportation and perhaps reserved for things like local deliveries or for people who live in rural areas. for the majority of humans who live in cities or are trying to travel long distances, trains, buses, airplanes, fairies, streetcars, trolleys, walking, riding a bike, etc are all objectively more efficient, more comfortable, and more affordable modes of transportation when they don't have to be planned around cars, and even when they do have to be planned around cars, are usually still better anyway because cars are just THAT inefficient. TL;DR: most forms of transportation are more practical and convenient than cars. The only problems that cars excel at solving are the ones that they create by their very existence, and a lot of the problems that exist as a result of cars (urban planning, fossil fuel usage, noise pollution, etc) are often forgotten about when people judge how efficient cars are.

I like coming back to this video as I fall deeper into the rabbit hole of urbanist channels and becoming more familiar with each of them. Looking forward to 50k subs special! Missing from the list is Oh the Urbanity!

This is amazing and introduced me to a few more channels.

This video is Awesome! Someone needs to organize an urban planning convention somewhere in the middle of the country. When that happens, Alan you can be the Host or the MC.

Included many more small people that I watch than I expected! Was very good, loved each and every thing you said about the channels, some were very much a "omg yes someone finally says this" type thing.

Congratulations on 20k!! and sharing other urban planning channels :D X3

Some of these I took for a laugh but wendover was brutal :+( love it.

There is also Life Sized City which is Not Just Bikes but if he moved to Denmark instead of the Netherlands.

@@weetikissa oh yeah I agree entirely. I think Life Sized City isn’t as good of a KZread channel. Definitely prefer Not Just Bikes style of content. The dude behind Life sized city I think is more successful with his other projects that aren’t KZread.

I will admit, I do find Road Guy Rob refreshing because of his near-exclusive focus on car infrastructure. Apologist or not, I enjoy learning about how the world currently is nearly as much as learning how it could be. (Plus, even if it's usually milktoast and incremental, he's usually got some suggestions for improvements in there.)

Congratulations on 20k!!!!

Time to go watch like half these channels and see if there's anything big in urban planning I've missed!

I love so much I found you channel NOW, in this disarray of youtube, where you still find unpopular roast of channels like Wendover from 12m ago.

0:36 - Louis Cole's music in an urban planning video is the most ambitious crossover event in history

Huh, I specifically liked Wendover for being pure information to listen to and skip reading and researching a topic myself.

Alan Fisher, the music in your videos makes me want to walk down the street in a leisure suit. Sorry I had to get that one out, rock on dude.

Wow I never even realized how many urban planning channels I watch. I'm surprised you didn't roast Alan Fisher. I mean who would think making urban planning memes is a good idea? :P

Congrats on 20k love the vids keep up the good work

This motivates me to make my KZread channel into an urban design channel.

Simon Whisler, the guy with more channels than I can count puts out some good content.

Thank you for being one of the key figures who introduced me to donoteat.

Holy shit the City Beautiful one had me rolling!

Congrats on 30k!!!

meh i like the wendover videos, i don’t need everything to be personal, i just expect a short peek into an interesting topic from him

Glad to see ya railroad stuff background!

LEAVE ROAD GUY ROB ALONE

I'll be dead by the time the next Franklin episode is released...yeah that's pretty accurate

2:21 I wasn't able to pay attention to the rest of the video because I kept laughing at this joke

brilliant roasts! though i woulda mentioned the dumb-as-shit "this subway car design could save the NYC subway" video that cheddar made

Nice review! I did recognize a few of these channels and agree with you on some points. I'm also surprised you didn't list me about privatizing Amtrak and my pro Brightline opinions. One of my channel inspirations was American Rail Club.

Privatizing amtrak is such a stupid idea

Planning without funding is just a stalling tactic; been there done that.

The brilliant part is that likely the real purpose was to introduce us to other great urban planning channels That’s why I love it You may not have noticed it (at first)…but your brain did

Loved the roast on NJB. Down and out about your country's urban planning woes? Just say duck it, move to the Netherlands, then proceed to make videos about how shitty your previous country was.

Fun choice for a topic x) I didn't get the RMtransit roast though

Are you ok?" and he's all "I fucking HATE Simon Whistler." And I tell him to just turn it off, and he won't. I do not understand what's going on there
