China is living in the future because they have highway intersections? I really don’t get this meme. You can find large highway intersections in the US too and that doesn’t make the US any better. Honestly I would say the opposite.
They’ve blended urban infrastructure with a bunch of green space, and that’s certainly nice. Would be even better if that cloverleaf highway was a rail line instead.
But if the worst thing you can say about Chinese urbanism is “It could use a few more trains”… eh.
China is making rapid improvements in high speed rail. It would be nice if we could get that kind of motivation in other countries.

That photo is kinda depressing. Muddy river, a massive highway interchange, faceless skyscrapers and some smog to boot. Having been to China, it is full of places so much nicer than that.
Why is that depressing? I see mixed urban greenery with lots of city infrastructure.
Highways are not city infrastructure
Rivers get muddy after rain. The Missouri River has been called “Big Muddy” for centuries because it used to flood from snow pack melt from the Rockies every year.
