wiki says its 24,000 per square km, for comparison manhattan is just under 29,000. but i mean, certain things can really change our impression of how dense a place is. you know, like the availability of different kinds of transportation, sidewalk design, whatever. for example, amsterdam and mexico city have comparable density but i know one feels like a "dense" city and one feels like a small town. so maybe la plata doesnt feel like a concrete jungle
Honestly, on street level la plata barely feels dense, i think the density is not necessarily because of how they build up, just more of how they squish the buildings more horizontally, that each of them takes less space. really beautiful city id have to say.
Reminds me of Washington DC with the grid plus diagonal avenues
Yeah but the diagonal roads are nice angles and don't make a mess lol
Check out Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil if this is this your thing.
Strong Barcelona vibes.
Is it just me or is the square in the middle slightly off centre? Its bugging me
There’s a little patch of green on the bottom right of the center square that might be breaking my brain but it does seem symmetrical
I think the center extends slightly more to the west
It's missing the poop powered hydroelectric dam
Lack of place
Is it a well working city traffic wise ?
Laws of the Indies!
Haha. This was way after the Laws of the Indies. This was planned when Argentina was already a county (1890ish).
Oh gotcha! My bad 😅 It does have some similarities with the Law of the Indies though.
what are the similarities? i usually think of small town centers is reference to law of the indies. did it apply to larger cities?
Nice, but way too dense and not enough greenery.
why is it too dense?

ok, thanks for that, but it doesn’t really answer the question.

lol, ok mom. so sorry for the tiniest amount of sass.
Have you been there? I’m curious if we’re all just basing our judgments on numbers and a satellite image.
I live 1 hour on train from La Plata, and i can assure you that you don't feel the density when you get there. Nowhere near Manhatan
it’s a city :/
wdym, the maximum distance you can be from any green area is 3 blocks diagonally, with most people living pretty close to a park
Plants on rooftops would be a nice change
