Oakridge Park mall in Vancouver

 https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-oakridge-park-mall-opening While shopping online can be a great convience, going to a mall can still be a nice tactile experience. Had the horrible Covid shutdown gone on for another year, people would have been more conditioned to order things online and perhaps even have to ask AI for permission to go out anywhere. 

Despite feeble attempts to the moon and Mars, most of humanity is confined to the Earth. That doesn't mean that the planet should ever become an AI run prison. However, things like a World Carbon Credit Score, a Personal Compliance Score and having to seek permission from AI to go anywhere, would be the epitome of a Sci-Fi dystopian story being imposed upon the MA$$E$.  

Thus, the shopping mall and public transit should always remain as safe, open places. Eventually, mall security and transit police might be augmented with robots and AI drones.  

Fortunately, the new and improved Oakridge wont be like anything out of a dystopian Sci-Fi story. 

Its so creepy how the Canada Embasesment Line was designed to only have 2 car trains, with no easy expansion ability to have 4-8 car trains. Indeed, to design a 2 billion dollar line without the capability to at least have 5 car trains is a very sad joke. The stations are only designed to eventually accomodate a 2.5 car train as if to symbolise the reluctance to ever connect YVR to both ferry terminals.

How AI Datacenters Eat the World Power Grid

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhqoTku-HAA 

People are told to not have kids or own any cars & avoid using air transportation as much as possible. Apparently, this cutting down agenda will help the billionaires enjoy their Champagne & caviar lifestyle, even morso. 

Then there is the stot using natural gas agenda, don't have a fireplace & especially, don't have campfires or beach bonfires. Yet, its alright for the billionaires to construct huge AI Datacenters which require a tremendous amount of energy to run.

Then humans are to eventually be conditioned to constantly check with AI to see if they can get permission to go to another part of town, or even just a local store. All it takes is for the tracking AI system to say that you have already exceeded your carbon output for the week. 

In a world where your smartwatch & phone, computer & TV are always gathering data and processing information on everyone, things become an intersection of Alphaville, THX_1138, Blade_Runner, Brazil & Black_Mirror. 

Then someone like Boy_Kavalier is your regional corporate, feudal lord. https://alienanthology.fandom.com/wiki/Boy_Kavalier

The 15-Minute City

 https://www.nlc.org/article/2023/06/13/exploring-the-15-minute-city-concept-and-its-potential-for-communities-of-all-sizes/

Ideally, if most stores and general services are within 15 to 30 minutes, that would be quite convenient.

https://www.15minutecity.com

However, with AI run cameras & authorization prompts from cell phones, traveling to another part of a city might become more difficult. If an AI human control algorithm says that you have already used up too much of your carbon credits and should remain home, that's not a system fit for free people.

Harrison Ford torches Trump over climate policy despite owning and flying private jet

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15252211/Harrison-Ford-Trump-climate-policy-private-jets.html 

That's just like when some people having a few kids & cars, are saying that there are too many people on the planet. 

A lot of people will never have enough money to even own one car, let alone a private plane. There are some people that own 1 or a few cars and will be the first to complain that there are too many people with cars and trucks... 

I never could understand when some ferociously bearded Range Rover drivers look like they are homeless. Are they projecting the image that because they look like a bearded wildman or caveman, it's good for the environment? Are they symbolizing that even if they lost all of their investments or their job, they would still be driving a range Rover? 

Once I saw a guy sitting on the sidewalk with regular clothes with a sign asking for donations. Then I saw what looked like a caveman with scruffy cloths getting into his Jaguar, just a short distance away. Whether some guy makes a few hundred thousand dollars a year, or a few million, why would they want to look like they live on the street or the backwoods?

Then there are some billionaires who would like people in general to stop eating red meat and stop breeding so that they can have a better Champaign & caviar lifestyle. Then there is the AI server farm craze which uses so much energy, the owners wish that most of the "human herd" would cut down on their energy consumption. Yes, humans should give up and totally hand over their power to AgI control systems in order to have an inhumane world. 

If someone has done well enough to own their own plane, mansion, boat & luxury car, they should be proud and might even feel fortunate. But then they wish that there weren't so many consumers & breeders taking up the Earths resources, when it should be for the cream of the septic tank. 

Whether its the feudal system, kingdoms, Communism or crony capitalism, the top always enriches themselves and doesn't care if most people are closer to the sewer than those who live above it all.

Whenever there is a big movie production around the world, there is no problem bringing in the trailers & tents... Temporary housing units are brought into remote construction sites & other work camps.   

Perhaps when such a wealthy area was built, the planners & builders thought that robots would replace the workers someday. Well, this is still suppose to be a human world with some robots. Not a robotic world in which AI will determine how much of humanity will be reduced.

Urban Tech Links .:. UTL

UTL - Personal observations of the urban world from a backwards Vancouver and backwater BC perspective. Indeed, it's always amazing to see what so many other cities can do, simply because they don't have anything like a Vancouver, Victoria & BC mentality to hold them back.

The Greater_Tokyo_Area is the most populated urban region on the planet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_area#Largest_urban_areas ,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_area

https://wikimedia.org/Sand_Island_and_Honolulu.jpg Honolulu hasn't permitted any buildings to be as tall as what is in Miami, LA or SF. Indeed, Honolulu, has avoided having a Singapore or especially a HK size skyline. So far, no building has been allowed to be as tall as the Custom_House_Tower in Boston or the Smith_Tower in Seattle. Indeed, no buildings are even allowed to be as tall as the Los_Angeles_City_Hall at 453 feet or 138m.

https://wikimedia.org/Perth_airport.JPG No building in Vancouver is allowed to be as tall as the 2 tallest in Perth & Calgary.

Honolulu and 

Perth, WA are in such nice climate zones. They are a couple of the most isolated major cities on the planet. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honolulu#Transportation , 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth#Transport

In some ways, Australia has been able to surpass Canada, despite it having a smaller land area & less population than Canada. Unlike Montreal & especially Vancouver, Perth & especially Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane, have allowed several taller buildings than what is allowed in Montreal & Vancouver. 

However, Honolulu's_tallest_buildings still haven't been permitted to even be as tall as the 2 tallest in the Giza_pyramid_complex in Cairo, Egypt. 

Urban Tech Links is a basic blog about referencing tall buildings & urban technology in various cities in general. Thus, it's mostly just a list of various urban and tech links. It's also about comparing various cities & infrastructure.

Some cities like to have narrow bridges, short trains & small buildings, like Vancouver, while many others cities reach for the sky. 

There is a point when a lot of major cities start to permit buildings to be taller than the 2 tallest pyramids in Egypt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramids 

Paris & London, NYC & Chicago, Tokyo & Seoul...  

www.infrastructurebc.com

The BC part of Canada has tried to keep its infrastructure as small as possible for as long as possible.

It wasn't until the 1970s when strict & stubborn Vancouver started to allow for some buildings to be almost as tall as the 2 tallest Egyptian pyramids. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=105524651&offset=50 

1973 Royal_Centre_(Vancouver) not quite as tall as .:.

1977 Harbour_Centre not counting the flagpole, its still shorter than the original height of the tallest Egyptian pyramid.

2001 One_Wall_Centre, not including its spire, was the first building in Vancouver & BC to be taller than the tallest pyramid in Egypt. 

For most of Vancouver's history, the city refused to permit any building to be taller than the pyramid on top of the 496' Custom_House_Tower in Boston, the 462' Smith_Tower in Seattle, the 453' Los_Angeles_City_Hall. Of course today they are all just like stumps. 481' and 471' are the original heights of the 2 tallest in the Giza_pyramid_complex.

https://wikimedia.org/Pyramids_of_the_Giza_Necropolis.jpg

https://wikimedia.org/Kheops-Pyramid.jpg

"Initially standing at 146.6 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the world's tallest human-made structure for more than 3,800 years. Over time, most of the smooth white limestone casing was removed, which lowered the pyramid's height to the current 138.5 metres (454.4 ft)" 

Height	Original: 146.6 m (481 ft) or 280 cubits Current: 138.5 m (454 ft)

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza 

Height	Currently: 136.4 metres (448 ft) Original: 143.5 m (471 ft; 274 cu)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Khafre

"The 1997 study noted that the opportunities for buildings significantly exceeding existing permitted heights were limited. There were a total of five sites where buildings exceeding the 450 foot height limit are possible and two sites in the northwest corner of the Central Business District where heights up to 400 feet (exceeding the 300 foot limit) could be considered." https://council.vancouver.ca/20030515/pe2.htm

Indeed, it's tough to believe that for the longest time, any building in the BC part of Canada had to be considerably shorter than the Washington_Monument in DC or the Philadelphia_City_Hall.

Then Vancouver wouldn't permit any building to be as tall as the Cairo_Tower. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Tower "At 187 m (614 ft), it was the tallest structure in Egypt for 37 years until 1998..."

2016 was when a Hotel-Condo was allowed to be slightly taller than the Cairo-Tower. 

The Cairo_Flagpole is the world's tallest flagpole, at 201.952 m (662 ft 7 in) tall. No building in Vancouver is allowed to be as tall.

The Living_Shangri-La tower is close, but not quite.

Of course Vancouver, BC & even Canada can't stop Egypt from building big & tall.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_and_structures_in_Egypt#Tallest_structures

{The origin of Al-Qahirah is said to come from the appearance of the planet Mars during the foundation of the City of Cairo. The planet Mars, which in Greek was called Ares, was associated with ruin or destruction and was called Al Najm Al Qahir in Arabic. Al Najm Al Qahir is transliterated as "the destroyer star [planet]".} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo#Etymology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo#Modern_era

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-cairo-washington-dc Washinton, DC made sure that going into the 20th century, it was going to have mostly low rise buildings like Paris & London or Berlin. However, the Greater Paris Region would eventually allow some tall buildings in certain areas. London even moreso. Yet, Greater London & Metropolitan Paris, certainly have allowed some tall buildings. 

Vancouver has been under a multigenerational set of restrictions as well as a small thinking & planning agenda. Part of this might be attributed to a backwater BC mentality. However, some parts of Greater Vancouver are allowed to build on a grander scale.

Edmonton, Seattle, Portland & eventually Calgary will all have underground train stations longer than what's in Vancouver. Yet, Vancouver could have really benefited from having proper big city long stations. Most of the regions bridges are so narrow that its difficult to have a proper bus lane & HOV lane system. But Vancouver & BC are all about inefficiency. Things might eventually improve if enough people someday start to see the growing gap between what most cities allow vs. stubborn Vancouver.

Main Cities in BC, Canada

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia#Cities

Despite the BC part of Canada being big enough to contain Switzerland some 23 times over, BC has yet to reach the population of just one CH.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_British_Columbia#Metropolitan_areas

So much urban infrastructure in BC hasn't been designed for future higher capacity demands.

https://www.nsnews.com/real-estate/bc-cities-turning-to-ai-to-speed-up-housing-approvals-9949325

With so many narrow bridges, there should have been several bus & bike bridges built to augment them. Of course Vancouver would opt to have shorter underground train stations than what Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton & Seattle have. Short stations means short trains, which means less capacity.

Metro Vancouver's tiny industrial lands drive $43B economy

 https://www.biv.com/news/economy-law-politics/metro-vancouvers-tiny-industrial-lands-drive-43b-economy-finds-report-9998620

Industry represents employment, production and development, at least before AI and robotics might take over most human jobs. Unfortunatly, BC has quite a history of so many restrictions, which makes growth or expansion difficult. Its been part of a multigenerational BC mentality or agenda. Fortunately, the backwater BC mentality hasn't been able to take over all of Western_Canada and the Pacific_Northwest. 

Despite that Switzerland could fit into BC almost 2 dozen times, it's been tough for BC to even have the population of one CH. 

Stumps and Towers of Australia and Canada, Etc.

https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?countryID=8&status=15 Of course Australia would have its first 90 story tower before Canada. Just like it had its first tower over a 100 floors before Canada.

1967 was a key year in Sydney and Toronto skyscraper history. 

https://wikipedia/Australia_Square_building_in_George_Street_Sydney.jpg 

https://australiasquare.com.au 

Australia_Square Tower would have been even grander if it could have been the first office tower in the country to have 60 levels above the ground.

"The original proposal included 58 floors; however, this was reduced to 50." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Square#Design Although its a reduced building, at least it wasn't Vancouverized to be under 40 stories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Square#Surpassing_of_height

This building was quite the The-Real-Thing for NSW and Australia throughout the changing 1960s and beyond. A good start to the nations first 50 story office tower, indeed. However, it could also be seen as a new pillar within the Global Power Structure. The GPS is in its own AI run dreamworld MATRIX of technology, technocracy and conformity. 

https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/top-of-the-town-20040515-gdixds.html

While I marvel at the various tall buildings around the world, if the big buildings & big cities just become part of a totalitarian system, then only a very small percentage of people at the top will benefit.

https://skyscraper.org/programs/harry-seidlers-australia-square-sydneys-first-modern-skyscraper/

The first tower in the Toronto-Dominion_Centre was also the first building to rise above 55 stories in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto-Dominion_Centre#Technical_details

https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?countryID=1&status=15 Canada 

https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?stateID=7&status=15 Ontario

https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?stateID=2&status=15 Alberta

https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?stateID=12&status=15 Quebec 

Vancouver has taken a multi-decade, thwarting approach towards holding back the scale of the city & its overall infrastructure. However, that has slowly been changing in recent years. Developers might be more motivated to build affordable housing if they can build taller structures.
