This is a super dense neighborhood in Shenzhen that has a massive, CO2 spewing highway driven through the center of it. How are you supposed to cross the highway? Why is there a highway here? Why are we still building highways despite climate change?

      Real place in Shenzhen unfortunately. I get the feeling it was planned in the 80s or 90s, considering that Shenzhen was a village in the 70s.

          That's just a regular golf course, and public golf courses are essentially just big parks. The highways are still disappointing, though.

                  Go to a public golf course on a nice Saturday. See how many people are there and how many of them are rich twats.

                  It's not a question of maximizing exercise potential per square foot, anyway. You don't want to be wasteful, but recreation does not need to be as economical as possible.

                the sportfield in bottom left of the shenzhen pic is clearly a bit smaller-->golf course bigger, but i've seen larger sportfield complexes in real life so i'll accept the premise they're comparable : a) way more users are on team sports pitches at a time b) they should also be culled and more efficiently organized even if they're more socially justifiable

            It's a private golf course unfortunately, but it got handed back to the government! http://www.szdaily.com/content/2018-08/03/content_21056583.htm
