You have violated multiple guidelines. The council has come to a verdict. You are not required to stop, this order being effective immediately. Stop being so underrated
it's really nice that you go into the city planning very carefully as it is in real life. Of course, in real life you have to pay attention to a lot more, such as all the pipes. Your city is almost perfect and that's the only thing that bothers me about it... Even if you put a lot into the planning to make the city as pleasant as possible, a real city doesn't look perfect. The best example is NYC. There you have old little detailed houses right next to large skyscrapers with (sometimes) boring facades. The city is dirty in some places, you sometimes have demolished houses so you can see the not so beautiful facades of the buildings next to it and also partially exposes the mechanics. You have broken roads as well as construction sites everywhere. Lots of small, narrow shops instead of one big one and so on. That's something I miss about the city, but I mean you are trying to build the best, most comfortable and most efficient city and not the most realistic... just like a dream city. And you teach many people the basics of urban planning, thanks for that 🤙🏻
Honestly tempting me to start building again, this city is so amazing to look at from every angle, keep it up!!! Maybe do little showcases of each area as well??
I study anthropo geography and can confirm that basically everything you said is covered by social science. The thing about planing cities in the human scale was especially important in our study. Keep up the great content.
I wasnt paying attention at all when i clicked, and i thought this was a city skylines video from the thumbnail. Everything looks so smooth, realistic and lifelike that if you just bat an eye you wouldnt notice... Wow!
I’m in trouble now.... I used all vanilla trees in my survival city.... with very high detailed buildings and roads. Mistakes have been made...... but this helped me so much to build the city that I am currently working on. (It’s all in survival)
I actually like vanilla trees, it gives the sense of still being in Minecraft. Although it really depends on the style of your build/city, I like bright idealized worlds like those from cartoons over super realistic builds, though those have their own merits too.
This is so helpful, thank you for this guide. I am currently in the process of my sixth attempt at a city and this one is going very well so far, I have tried planning this one more than the others and this will help with the more detailed planning part.
Just discovered your channel. For years I’ve always wanted to build a city, but I’ve never been creative/engaged enough to commit myself to actually finish one. Your videos have helped so much, and I now plan to try building a city again. Also, living in Toronto is a big help too, as it’s a great city to use as an example! Thanks!
This is so cool! I love building cities in Minecraft because my dream job is to be an architect, but unfortunately I'm terrible at Math. So to see it from the pov of someone who actually applies these techniques in the real world is really fun to watch. Thanks!
I encourage you to go for it anyway! The only way to get better at math is to study, and I promise anyone can do it. Architecture and engineering are very rewarding careers
Your tips are really amazing! I'm building a city and I already knew some tips to create it, but now with these tips, my city will get even better. Thx!
while im not using this video to help with minecraft, i found it very useful as a city planner guide in general for someone who may not know much about city planning. im using this for a project in blender and i think these tips are really nice to have so i can improve my project
That makes sense! I live in the suburban are of a city, so we have a (fairly small) forest near my house, but also access to places (which for me are climbing gym and fencing, mainly, those priorities will probably change when I'm older...). I do want to live in the mountains tho, we have a holiday house there so we're there most holidays, and I kind of feel trapped in cities (partially bc of sensory issues - cities aren't exactly quiet places).
Hello Alpine! I just saw your channel and I loved it, your content is incredible. As a suggestion, I suggest you spread the videos with Spanish subtitles so that you can spread this magnificent idea of the Cubed Community to more people. I appreciate the work you do in Andea.
More urban trees make everything 100% better. This city has inspired me to make my own type of architecture in multiple building games, Including Cities skylines.
Thanks for this video! I'm currently building a massive international airport, and once I'm done, I'm going to build a city for it on my UA-cam channel! I'll be sure to use these tips!
How does this person only have 11K subs, this is so good made and it's such knowledgable tutorials, some of the best tutorials I've seen for building, a pro architect is exactly what we needed in Minecraft tutorials! Great videos!
Great tips, really helpful for somebody who’s trying to create a realistic feeling city while making it feel more... my style Kinda difficult because I use mobile but I’m trying
As a console player who switched to Java, building cities is much easier and better looking with the help of mods like world edit and optifine. With world edit, I can make 20 story skyscrapers in 5-10 minutes easily!
Yeah, I’ve heard that everybody does that, but I use several command block tricks to make fully decorated interior 40 story skyscrapers in about an hour, usually the amount of time it takes depends on how long the first floor takes to make
@@Alpine1 lol that’s cool. I was surprised cuz I never see Ottawa on UA-cam 😂. I live pretty close to that claridge building and dows lake. I wish they built more tall buildings like that. Yesterday I went sledding in the arboretum. Idk why I’m explaining all this lmao.
Never knew I'd see the day that someone who knows his stuff picks up MC. Take my sub cuz ill be using this as reference in my future playthrough with games!
Minecraft offers such immense creativity that this is, somehow, possible. I hope to see a spiritual successor to this aspect of Minecraft, with much higher resolution. It will be glorious.
Nah you couldnt be as creative with higher resolution, this way your imagination has a lot more space and anybody can easily mod onto it. End less possibilities. Other games have high res we dont play them as much as MC because it doesnt feel like a made-up world, but a different reality.
Honestly amazing. The shaders and texture pack make it seem like this was built in the sims rather than minecraft. Really good tips. I was recently playing a city map to gather inspiration, but I got lost every 6 seconds because it was just a tangled mess of roads and overhead walkways. Really wish those people watched this vid

Hmm this city seems to be missing attractions such as museums, fairgrounds, a zoo, and or a theme park of some kind. After all tourism is good income for a large city
i'm not a modern style builder, but i feel like most of these things can be used in any kind of village/city/settlement build. and even, slightly altered if anything, in any biome. good thing this was recommended to me, as i'm planning on covering a mountain island with a steampunk inspired city in survival. prolly keeping the mountains themselves mostly clean, but around them having the districts.

For bikelanes: Check out the dutch road systems for seperated bikelans, they are a uniquely designed and not bound to roads. they are seperate at turns or tunnels etc.

you could learn more if you practice and also study about urban designs
I built two shitty cities but they are big enough and I am proud of them
just watch grian tutorials. they helped me a lot
