Lovely German project to visualise utopian future versions of cities all around the world: https://realutopien.info/visuals/

I want more of this. More positive self-fulfilling prophecies. I also think that it's totally fine to positively overshoot and be naive about it. Why shouldn't we be allowed to just dream big here?

@bastianallgeier In Hamburg, Germany, the project of putting green rooftop and hundreds of plants and trees on our flak tower/bunker from 2nd World War is almost finished!

It is gonna be a sight to behold. See the gallery on the website... before and after.

Here is a pic I took a few weeks back. #hamburg #bunker #greencitylife

@Lojie @bastianallgeier i'd like to add that this project was tied to building a luxury hotel into the bunker, effectively negating its status as a home to alternative cultures it had for decades.

@electricgecko @Lojie @bastianallgeier Will it really be a luxury hotel?

@cfranke @Lojie @bastianallgeier well, depends on your definition of luxury - it will definitely be upscale. as far as i know the originally community-driven idea to create a garden on the bunker's rooftop was co-opted by its property developers. i'm not super informed though.
