So in short the answer is No. You're not.

That's cute, especially when you realize the designing of chips empowering your device for you to express your "feelings", is one of my expertise.

Exactly what I thought because your opinions on the same sound simplistic to say the least, I’m sorry.

You for instance tend to believe the system of street arrangement tells the whole story of urban planning with nothing to add or remove. You do not realize that the street arrangement system is just the beginning. You can have two cities, both grid system but one is a monotonous stretch of boring, poorly designed buildings with almost zero tree cover and not allowance for recreation while another is better planned with recreation facilities, pedestrian walkways, schools, markets, residential buildings, parks, artificial lakes et al.

A good example of a boring grid system is your Kariakoo. Monotonous ugly buildings with almost zero tree cover. Perfect example on how not to build a city.

A good example of a well planned grid system is Barcelona. The city is a darling of urban planners. Within each grid is a garden and fountains and schools were integrated within the system. Each grid was chamfered to create octagonal shapes for better movement of traffic. Traffic movement is well controlled. Interestingly, when Eng. Ildefons Cerdà came up with the idea, it wasn’t well received and people actually fought it. It’s only in modern times that it’s being highly appreciated and Barcelona is one of the go to cities when planners want to write about how to build a city which contradicts your logic that the grid system is boring and outdated. Barcelona is always praised as an urban planning success story.

You're comparing kariakoo district to the whole city of Barcelona? Interesting!

Kariakoo's got everything we need, and then some.

And as for the whole 'European cities are the epitome of planning' narrative, let's not forget that what works for them is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's just a convenient excuse to justify their own unique set of circumstances.

The truth is, many European cities are cramped for space, so they've had to get creative with their urban planning. They've squeezed everything into tiny areas, not because it's the most brilliant design, but because they have no choice. It's a solution born out of necessity, not some superior urban planning philosophy.

So, let's not blindly follow their lead just because it's trendy. We've got our own unique challenges and opportunities, and it's time we start celebrating our own strengths, like Kariakoo, instead of trying to emulate someone else's

Your computer science or coding career is irrelevant in this discussion. A dolphin is an excellent swimmer but its swimming skills don't mean a thing in the middle of a desert. We are talking about urban planning. But thanks for letting us know you have something going on for yourself.

I'm not comparing Kariakoo to Barcelona (who cmpares Kariakoo to Barcelona?). I simply gave it as an example of a poorly planned grid system.

Again, no knowledge in urban planning. Stick to coding.

Never have I mentioned anything about computer science, Mr. Know it all of nothing. My expertise could include particle physics, computer engineering, higher mathematics, just so you know!

Let me ask you this: have you ever lived in a country that uses both systems, just to get a real feel for what I’m talking about? Cause, I could be speaking with "mutu ya ushago" who never set his foot out of his village.

Computer Science, Computer engineering - whatever it is......it doesn't matter bro. At this point you're just trying to save face by flexing about an unrelated career (which we ain't even sure that you pursue) after realizing your knowledge on city planning is BS and you actually know nothing about it.

Does it really matter? 🤣 🤣
You're getting angry now because you can't fathom accepting you were wrong so you have to throw around a little belittling just to switch the discussion in your favor. Such a small mind.
Either way, the grid street plan is not a 'system' that countries use. It is just a street arrangement and generally every big city in the world has applied a little bit of it and a little bit of the curvilinear street plans. Even your Darislum has sections such as Kariako which have greed plans while the rest of your Uswazi hovels are just a maze of disorganized curves. The fact that you think the grid plan is a 'system' that a country adopts shows your lack of knowledge in this field. Perhaps you can instead service us some knowledge in particle Physics and higher mathematics that you are so eager to flex instead of arguing about things you know nothing about.

PS............I spent some time in Qingdao China and visited a few other cities there. If it helps, you are not talking to a 'mutu ya ushago' like your fellow bongolala friends here so keep it civil and make factual arguments.
