Thanks for having me Blocko!
Real Engineering Great videos!
Great videos!
Real Engineering you've earn one sub.. my majestic looking man
You have a very nice virtual beard.
Real Engineering i watch your videos!
I would love those toilets they have in Japan. They have a sink on the top so the water you use to wash your hands will go down to the toilet for new toilet water.
(i know this is 2 years old, sorry) I would go farther and say we should have "toilets" that simply don't use water, or very little. The fact that we use clean water to relieve ourselves in is crazy when you start thinking about it.
@@general2109 im confused?? how will that work?
I was born, and live Tokyo and yeah it’s pretty cool
@@general2109 the only water free toilets i know of are Litterboxes for cats (which a don't know how you make that human compatible and scale up) and outhouses which are basically just a hole in the ground with a building on top, which I don't see that having anywhere near the hygiene or capacity for a city to use. (They are near camps in the woods where anything fancier isn't needed/economical)
Besides modern waste treatment plants are required to make the output water safe for consumption before returning the water to the river the city draws from. The main flaw with this process is that these plants usually aren't designed to get rid of pharmaceuticals in the water.
Water is infinitely recyclable, and as we get greener energy it makes desalination a better solution to turn seawater into fresh water for the cost of electricity. If your burning coal you will be making future water crisis worse by doing this.
@@general2109 I bet you stink
*How about Singapore?* *100% of the entire country is a city.*
TNTGTS ok
I watched a documentary about technology in Singapore and yes, it's the city of the future
fabio dominguez schubert But Singapore is the world's light polluted country/city.
And talk about expensive
I agree with Shanti. The apartments (flats) here are really expensive, costing you from 100k-800k to stay in a flat for 99 years, depending on how many rooms you want. A 4 room can range anywhere from 380k-450k, and a 5 room can range from 480k-550k, and so on. Mainly it's because of our country's density, we have 6.9 million people in a 31 by 29 mile wide country. I have to admit though, we do have good public transportation network.
The problems with a grid layout are that the citizens often get bored walking outside and they also often feel small and insignificant. You would have to make the streets more "alive" with non-repetitive patterns with at least a change of street pattern every 100 meters. This is especially important when you will have a population that's depending on traveling by foot. People need to feel welcome and safe on the streets, not bored and vulnerable.
Loved your video btw! :)
Good idea
agreed. Grids are useful but they get boring. If it's pedestrian-only on ground level then the city paths should be laid out somewhat like an amusement park, where the design of the paths 'funnel' people into areas of interest and kind of guide you around in a way that encourages exploration and discovery.
I totally agree with you there Timothy
Thats why blocko mensionted something "fun activity so the city is nit always old and boring"
You could solve some of that with creative street design, variation of building types/sizes. If every first floor is intended for interaction (e.g. store front), there would be inherent asymmetry. Roads could still be grids, but with curves in the road, different size sidewalks, different movement styles (sidewalks + "street"; marked lanes of travel for walking/biking, etc.)
Kinda reminds me of Republic City
without the crazy spirits and stuff.
No love for Ba Sing Se?
The third person I've seen where people say they're everywhere yet it's the first time for me...
You are literally everywhere man. Keep it up.
Well considering those weapons are kinda outdated for there time since it was the time of industry. They had automatic weapons and still fight with melle weapons from the medieval time. That's what made it weird.
*there I commented on your comment from another video*
Oh really??!!
What about jobs; what types of jobs would be available there?
With many offices built, mostly jobs you entirely do in an office.
idk maybe gardening
Since it's a green city, would gardening be an important job?
Depends on location and culture.
Napalm pizza delivery and others buisnnes jobs taxi laundromat idk that's all I can imagine
Thank you for using Singapore as an example, am very proud
No cars but I think some public transportation is necessary
Well they did mention the subway but trams(busses and trains merged into one)could also work and it doesn't use much of not any congestion
Each and every transport mode has its uses, its advantages and weaknesses, and each is adapted to specific demographics. I think we should strive for a balanced repartion : don't just ban cars and promote rail only, for instance. Idealy, every mode is present for those whose needs requires it, and optimized to function corrrectly with other modes.
The Boring Company would take this on !

That’s what a subway’s for...

Yeeeeeeeee
The most important thing in a perfect city is a blocko statue in the middle of the city
Rad Pteranodon i agree xD
A statue of Kim Jong Un would be better
Castoru' 33 wooooow so funneh XD XD XD
Ever since the colab with James I can’t stop hearing life nugget

So the perfect City would cost as much as an aircraft carrier ?
would cost as much as Democracy

Im ripping a fat cloud while watching this video
Mr. V - a man of wisdom
Actually, in Singapore, the apartment you talked about, commonly known as HDB, doesn't come on its own. the government implements a sort of control mechanism to prevent one race from occupying the whole block, floor. On average it's about 45% for Chinese and the rest a mixed ratio of Indian, Malay and Eurasian.
however, recent years living in a apartment block almost results in the cold treatment of the neighbour, and not the said "kampong" (Malay for village) spirit of the closeness and friendliness
*"When the lights... Go down... In the city..."*
You know we were covering urban greening in my GCSE geography class. This was really easy to understand.
Love to see you and Real Engineering making a video together. Hopefully one day when I get bigger I can offer value to this channel. Really enjoy wanting both of you guys.
As always, keep up the great content. #Quality>Quantity
Hmm, verified?
What exactly did Triangle Bob do to deserve all the crap he gets in these videos? I know he's your arch nemesis, Blocko, but... he really gets crapped on in all your videos.
ragingfiip with only one dollar a day you can stop triangle bob abuse
#justicefortrianglebob
He's just used for an example on occasions, i guess.
He was Blocko's roommate in college and was a real mess
I thought the same.
1:03 But how will ambulances and firetrucks get around?
Juilius Memer well im thinking they could helicopters for ambulances. Idk about firetrucks tho
Pedestrians can be required to partake in pedestrian training where they are taught to make way for emergency services. They just rush to the sides or enter the next building and the emergency service can pass through. Streets can be equipped with stationary sirens and lights that instruct people to make way, giving people a good bit of time to react before the emergency truck passes.
I wonder though, they need the street level to be storefronts and stuff, but how do you supply stores with product? OK let's say it's delivered on standard palettes on a subway, but what about bulky construction materials and construction machinery which don't fit on a palette? How do you move apart commercial traffic like this and emergency traffic?
Juilius Memer they will fly
Make exception for ambulance police fire brigade etc etc
Ambulance bicycle and fire bicycle lol
This probably won’t happen until another 50 years

This is only possible in a communist state.

Always good to see urban design getting attention from popular UA-camrs!
I really like the idea of floating oceanic city’s that can self provide and move out of the way of bad weather. I doubt I’ll every see that Dream a reality.
It's a nice idea, but realistically it isn't going to be able to move fast enough, and it'd run into more problems anyway since the weather on the ocean is MUCH worse than on land (way more storms, hurricanes, etc)
@@bostinobaddog2040yeah unfortunately I think they’d be a great idea until disaster strikes and a whole city sinks
Always love to see these surprise collaborations between two channels I'm already subscribed to.👍
First citizen of your city!!😁

“We get it, you vape”
Words of Blocko
this reminded me of every sci-fi book that has a "perfect city"😂
Singapore= prefect city.
I’m all for a carless city and I’m SUPER glad this video included that! There are so many problems to cars and a city navigable via bikes, walking, and public transit would be great.

So kinda like Sim City?
*Tries to forget about "Natural" disasters.*
Neon GT you know you want just a couple of tornadoes

Neon GT
Screw SimCity. It’s dead. Praise cities skyline, the only good city building game (with good mods)
The closest country to the perfect place to live is the tiny tiny country they mentioned called Singapore. It’s amazing there!
"Covered in vertical gardens in Singapore"
HWAT?
SINCE WHEN
an example Singapore Park Royal
Without streets how are you going to collect the garbage? How are you going to resupply stores? What if someone wants to move?
With a uniform grid, what about the stronger wind inside the city?
Solar panles also don't make much sense on top of tall buildings, because they can only supply electricity for a fraction of the residents.
Wind turbines inside a city can also be dangerous, with the fast moving parts that can break down.
recycling will have to take a bigger part of life to reduce carbon footprint. look at Japan, Korea for their trash sorting. For the rest that couldn't be recycled goes to a Incineration plant which also produce electricity then send to a landfill(Singapore's Palau Semakau). Trash collection to be centralised to minimised pollution of living area.
"Wind turbines inside a city can also be dangerous" you're thinking HAWTs. VAWTs are much safer and sturdier and can be built in tighter arrays, like taking advantage of an urban wind funnel.
Loved your questions!
I don't know the answer to them, but I think that Stockholm uses pipes to collect the garbage! :D It's a really interesting and creative way to manage our trash! Here's a video explaining it! ua-cam.com/video/iRzOhPHz6zM/v-deo.html
seasong lol what do you think jobs are for
I'm kind of on the same page as you when it comes to there being major issues if we just got ride of road for motorized vehicles all together. I do however believe that ideally we should definitely limit the number of those vehicles that are allowed on the road by having less roads dedicated to street vehicles and also by allowing for areas to be zoned with more mix use areas. That is zones that are a mix of commercial and residential. Solar panels on the top of buildings are fine if you ask me but so long as its sufficiently inexpensive, we just assume its there to help partially power the energy needs of that building and if its producing a surplus, able to give back to other nearby buildings if its needed and if the area sees a sufficient amount of sunlight throughout the year to justify the costs. I'll agree with you on the wind turbines on top of buildings 100% though not just for the risk of having those moving parts up there but its also just much better to specifically build the turbines in a region that will regularly and consistently see those high winds that will be able to fulfill energy demands at a net positive to the energy grid vs the cost of building them over a reasonable time frame.
Perfect city=perfect country=perfect continent=awesome world=awesome universe☺️☺️😊😢😢👍👌👌
Techie Planet Seems reasonable, let’s do it! :)
They didn't say "perfect society", they said "perfect city". What is recommended sounds somewhat reasonable, but more likely this kind of thing could only be built as sectors of a larger city, or errected one building at a time, replacing old buildings in an existing city
Techie Planet think about how much money will it take
Lee Jonah Nothing of the usa miltary budget?Sounds a lot.
Techie Planet yep!
Thanks for making this video, I've been writing this stuff down in the video at school THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I did a lot of research regarding this subject and your friend is on point 👌🏻
I am glad and blessed that Im living in Singapore :3
ImThatAlexander yeah, I watched a documentary about technology, you are living in the city of the future.
I love Real Engineering's voice, best voice ever
I knew it! Once I saw the thumbnail, I knew it will be Singapore! Plus, I live in Singapore and it's quite nice
Awesome video! I subscribed!
I always feel smarter after watching Life Noggin ^_^
Your channel deserves more subs than 2.1 mil
2.1M is a lot and I usually do not think anyone deserves more than that, but the team behind this channel is an exception.
I really mean it as a complement, because they make videos that are both educational and fun to watch
You need like your OWN TV Show man this is amazing :)❤
Thank you for talking about my home!(Singapore)

Because someone's utopia is someone else's dystopia.
Nice video. I really like learning about how to make things better. maybe more of these kind where we can see what we should be shooting for? Just a thought
We can build giant skyscraper apartment towers called "Super Blocks". Each with a hollow center, central skylight, built-in clinic, vet, rooftop helipad, classrooms, and a mall on the bottom floor. And in case of war, the whole building can be protected with heavy steel shutters that move to cover the windows and entrances. For security, arrange for one Judge- I mean sheriff deputy to be on site at all times. Just peachy, don't you think?
can you explain the IDL ? ( the international date line) And stuff related to time on earth ?
Why do Utopias always assume everyone wants to live in tightly packed, close proximity communities? One person's image of an ideal, is another's hell.
Because they are highly efficient, dude. If it weren't for cities, we'd still be stuck in the stone age.
I agree 13thGeneral, I really don't enjoy being in close proximity apartments in a city, they're fine for holidays but not as a lifestyle, at least to me.
Feynstein 100 : so therefore everyone should live in a city? I'm fine with a tight-knit community, but I grew up in a small New England town and despite it not being a city most people were very helpful and friendly, we got along just fine (generally speaking). Then I lived in a city for a few months and it was the most isolationist I've ever felt despite being always within 20' of another human being; overall it was convenient, but I just didn't feel personally well suited to the environment. Cities certainly have their place, but the assumption that it's the best model for a Utopian society is ignoring a fair percentage of people who are perfectly fine and capable in more rural areas - because they're more adept in that environment. And if it weren't for rural areas supplying the cities with food & materials, cities wouldn't exist (modern sustainability advancements aside).
A true Utopia is unattainable because humans have far more diverse and nuanced personalities & needs.
Neither local is perfect, because society requires a balance, and many people deman it.
Name one fictional Utopian/Dystopian work where the author writes a character that isn't pining for something outside the current "norm" of expected society?
Ease of access to everything, the more tightly packed a city the more of everything is within easy walking distance.
Additionally it is much easier to control every aspect of a much smaller environment, how can a place be kept perfect when there's one house every couple miles. You may like nature as a whole but it's hard to deny it has downsides, such as the danger, which for a place to be perfect utopia it would have to mitigate
dgtrh gabhfd muslims don't nuke get your facts right boi
Mmm, this is very nice. While being very naive. Just few questions:
Where did the lake go to in the grid? )
Would those solar/wind power sources be enough for 500k infrastructure?
(and I wouldn't like to have those windmills over my head w/o additional protection)
Also, I suspect there are no factories, farms, universities in the city? -- how do you place those?
How do we build such cities in other colder/hotter locations? Can we build near or in the sea?
Ok. So, the video rather looks like a lazy daydream fantasy...
If you want to design a city -- do it smart. (and, btw, we DO need to start investing into city design)
There are two pillars for your projects:
1. Use modern science.
2. Admit that theres no such thing as "perfect" if humanity evolves and that your city should evolve too.
It's like keeping your first cellphone for decades, thinking its perfect. Our technologies evolve, our understanding of our biology and relations evolve. Modern science and new researches should give us understanding how to build and further upgrade (when built) our cities.
I'd advice checking Venus Project by Jacque Fresco -- engineer, that has put his whole life on blueprinting and researching for such cities. Also, they are not just designing, they are actually planning to build such a city.
And theres much more: should be pretty easy to find their videos on the utube. Totally worth it
(basically, most of these thoughts of mine derive from there)
P.S. Thanks for the video still :)
As stated above: we should invest more in city design and this video is a good step towards this.
You just gave me an idea and a dream. Thank you
*We can also construct domes around these cities in order for forests and the ecosystem to repair outside.*
Chicken Permission *domes that are gery big catch the whole pollution in the air and other things and it would suffocate and kill everyone with time*
Since rain cant get in to the city the veggies will not be able to grow, people would starve because there is too less food.
or use the trashes from the other cities, turn it into pellets and make roads in a cheaper price (still not conformed if it will last longer but still amazinggg)
no then they would all die without oxygen and the little pollution would also kill them
Tal Aizenberg then vent everything OUTSIDE🤣
The moment you mentioned good schools, I was like “this is def not happening in america”.
But it is already happening in North Korea
Castoru' 33 American people aren’t that dumb. Many of these great science channels are Americans. America has produced so many scientific advancements such as nuclear power, computer and software companies, Hubble space telescope, space shuttle program, land people on the moon, etc. The USA is one of the most ambitious countries in the world,
Ezra the Conqueror do you have something against punctuation?
it's not that America is stupid, just that they have a bad education system
Public places for discussion and general interaction are a must. Like squares or agora with a lot of seating space and a few podiums or stands so that public gatherings and discourse can take place.

Lucky. Your city is so well designed
Same :D
If there is a "perfect" city well is there going to be a "Perfect" Country?
Neon GT The city would be in Denmark or Australia. The two most happy and developed countries in the world. With the best standards of living and top ranking cities. Melbourne, Australia has been the #1 best city in the world for 7 years now.
Sure.
If everyone goes vegan.
JoeAceJR If you have to eat grass nothing would be perfect
Lazy Turtle vegans don't eat grass
Cool, and then there's my city where everyday dozens of people get murdered over 5 bucks or a cellphone.
Thank you for this video :)
omg no joke this video is GENIUS and exactly what i was thinking please make this city!!!!!
Build it with city skylines

Lol. You probably can
I accept that challenge

Really!
Yes I already have the game
yes but what type of streets shold I choose? The ones with glass wich hasa garden underneeth,or the Marple Walkway?And what polecies shold I choose? Are Electric Cars for everyone nesecary or would that be a waste?Whats with schools are the from green cites good enough or is the tilted modern art college better?Whats with garden?Should I do them or would that be stupid? Is an Airport enough ,or should I go for the International one?What would the name be? Should there be any special buildings?Whats with......
We could get two of every species and person and put it in the city, then flood the rest of the world with chocolate and...I don’t know where I’m going with this.
Continual Improvement xD
Noah' s boat thing
Great video as always
Wooden skyscrapers would also look really fitting for a city like this
The best city is the city with unlimited food!
Matt Spicer Yes
Sounds good to me!
Matt Spicer Unlimited McDonald's! Wohoo!
Imagine swimming in a pool of cheesy hamburgers ._.
It would be greasy :P
Correction: The best city is the one I don't live in.
Reminds me of Academy City from the anime "Toaru majutsu".
Yay! Singapore was featured, and i live in Singapore
"We get it, you vape!" Amazing.
"Cities like Paris are already losing expressways to favour bikes and walking."
REAL STUFF????
That’s my favorite city!
Except the fact that some materials in solar panels if they leak out could cause cancer.
Also wind turbines can kill endangered birds.
There is in fact a healthier alternative, algae farms for energy, it works like coal and oil but it doesn’t create problems because of the way that plants work.
If wind turbines were black or purple less birds would die look it up
Great video. I wonder if such a city can be grown over time so the cost is covered by value created within. Plenty of food for thought here. Any other fun/zany ideas to add?
hey blocko i have been watching your videos for quite a while and have just made an account I have a really good idea and I think it will answer a lot of peoples questions "is it even possible to live forever and how" i hope you make this into a video it would be a good one
My dad is selling the lamp with the sensor! :OOO
What!? Wow:D
Lol
By cloning blocko and having all of his clones living there
rooftop gardens and plenty of parks would also be major pluses.
0:30 For a moment there I thought Jacksepticeye was the one speaking
In my school we have a program and major called
*Future City*
It's where we play the sims and use science to protect the city
And money to socialize the economy
I guess if you think about it it's a bit educational, but the sims. Seriously
I play that to its so fun
To make the buildings nice, assign each building with a height between 3 and 12 stories, and make that each building must be that dimension. The CBD can have taller buildings (so long as they fit), but the rest will be a uniform height.
You could also put specific plants to keep the city at a constant temperature
The Perfect City..
Tilted Towers
Jaspaa😂😂😂 savage
no
If you wanna get killed
Jaspaay
That’s not even a city
Guys it was a joke
20-40 billion...
just ask the U.S Military for some spare cash...
This.
Or the social security fund & Medicare fund. They spend like 2 trillion every year.
Jesus Rios because cheap healthcare is worth the money, the military funding is quite useless
A country cant be a country without strong borders and a military. I dont wanna pay for you to get free/low cost healthcare while I have to get expensive healthcare.
Medicare, Medicaid, Social security, food stamps, welfare, obamacare, and all that shit should be repealled and NOT replaced. That would either bring taxes down MUCH more than they are now, or it would free up so much money to be used for these cities.
JoeAceJR we only spend around 24 billion for those cost while education has 61 billion and military has 679 billion.
This is very useful! :3
One idea is to have a Hexagon grid. Which is more efficient in many ways and more interesting. Also safer by have 3-way turns instead of 4-way.
And you can essentially have some hexagons where you cut through the middle, making two half hexagons, which can serve as the main roads to travel down.
Nice video blocko. But for me there were minor problems on how we’re building this city. Yes, this city sounds like it’s impossible to build, but what if we did. First of all you didn’t consider natural disasters. Putting wind turbines on the roof is potentially dangerous. What is there was an earthquake. Then there’s a chance of those falling down. I don’t know if I’m wrong or right but I am just stating my opinion. Another thing is the removal of cars. What is it was raining. It’s dangerous to ride a bicycle. Yes you can take the subway. But you think it can go to all the places you want to go? We invented cars not only for transportation but also for protection in riding. Remember that nothing is perfect there’s always gonna be errors. I hope no one is angry, again this is just my opinion. I’m not that smart as blocko but we all need to remember there’s no such thing as perfect. But that shouldn’t stop us to try and make the perfect city.
When you said "Car free city" I was already out.
Why, can you not walk?
@@horatiotodd8723 I can and do, but the concept of a fully car-free city is neither particularily realistic nor desirable. Giving people to ability to walk, bike or use public transit is great, but it ignores the fact that many people will always prefer to or be more comfortable with driving.
While very dense urban areas might be able to go car-free, there will always be people who prefer a lower density and suburban house. New urbanism is a great example of livable and walkable suburbs as well.
People have lived just fine without cars for thousands of years. Even moving several ton stones. How is a car free city not realistic?
Cars actually aren’t more comfortable and negatively impact the economy. Instead of walking past stores you drive right past a lot of businesses that without decent road access or parking will likely go out of business.
As for comfort, getting in a large vehicle with limited visibility, trying to find a parking space, repeatedly stopping at intersections, and reaching out the window for food, money, etc is annoying. Being seated for hours a day without being able to move much is uncomfortable and unhealthy.
All the same comforts you get in a car can be found on a bus or train. In fact it’s actually safer and healthier (when regularly sanitized). People often drive impaired or distracted. Need to get home safe from the bar, take the bus. Need to study or finish a presentation on your way to school or work, take the bus or train.
There’s also less traffic meaning you get there faster.
Would have liked more info on residential vs. office/workplace + how to integrate retail and amenities + hospitals etc. also would it be grid and blocks vs more European style and like all world cities, what would it be know for, where is the passion and music and art and character? Also what would be advantages and cost considerations of starting from scratch vs improving existing city?
We need a perfect city which has got all the amenities like good housing,school for the kids,hospital for the sick,super markets,malls,gardens and etc.
I hate that my city is full of gimps and centaurs...
Actually, I would love that. Never a dull moment. And the Uber drivers are really something else... 😅
