Ads absolutely everywhere remind me of Polish suburbs in the 90s, it was really difficult to get rid of them but it’s doable and really worth it. Guys you need a proper landscape act…

I mean, this is pretty common in the Balkan.

Basically a stroad. /r/urbanhell

I wonder how long ago this was built. What with the cranes in the background, possibly relatively recently.
I’ll add it to the same bag that also contains the recent suburbs built in the outskirts of Dubai:
A __mind boggling fucking stupid thing__. We know, and have known for quite a while, this is extremely bad urban design. Willfully ignoring lessons learned, perhaps in a vague attempt to cargo-cult (america is rich and their urban environs look like this, _therefore_ if we make copies of that, we will also be rich! Yeah! That’s how life works!) – crazy.
With Dubai at least it’s cynically understandable (environment (either in the ‘the place you live’ or ‘the planet that needs to continue to have a climate that can sustain human life’ sense) just does not matter we are just trying to attract monied morons who want to imagine they are living in a fairytale view of how 80s/90s america was like).

Fuje Kosova is basically a suburb of Prishtina, isn’t it?
Basically every suburb of a big Balkan city looks like this.
Also, props to all Kosovars for unilaterally cutting the visa requirements for Bosnian citizens. I’ll definitely visit your great country in the near future to honour it.

Many parts of suburban Eastern Europe look like this, no?
There are Ohios everywhere for those with the eyes to see them

Honestly, as someone who is in America, this would actually be an improvement on most of our stroads.

If you look at Kosovo Polje on Google maps you’ll see that it’s just that one road that looks like that, and the rest of the town is more normal looking.
That’s the main road going west out of PriÅ¡tina, passing through the town.

6 lane road, small businesses all along it, a strip in middle separating the traffic, tons of billboards. Yup, if it wasn’t for the apartments in the background, this wouldn’t look out of place in an American town.

This is how you get US Air Force protection.

It looks like every other poor part of the town in Balkans, with lack of urban planning

It’s bad but it doesn’t seem like an existential problem to find parking. I give it a 6.5/10 just for this.

You mean a city in Serbia?

Every suburb in the balkans looks like this unfortunately
AlienGeneticHybrid on
It’s kind of an in-between town, Fushë Kosovë, and many just pass through. This road goes to Prishtina so it’s traveled heavily, making all the small businesses sprout up.

How did the Kosovan cross the road?

Visit Albania twice. Lovely people and country and weed.

Kosovo seems to be extremely car-heavy. I don’t understand why some cities even need cars – they are pretty small and you can get from one end to the other in few dozen minutes. But people seem to prefer standing in long car jams? Anyway, that was one of my impressions

You also have to know, that Kosovo Polje is the main railway hub of the country and there are more passenger trains departing from here each day than the average Americans will ever travel on in their lives.
Some of the trains are actually Americans though.
