>>1641937japan has many beautiful brutal buildings, stop talking out the ass BUT you're completely right on zoning
>>1641935smaller lots, different zoning rules and encouragement to build/tear down frequently. Japan's postwar reconstruction has much to do with this. They also rely less on cars in their inner cities than America does, so it's easier to build cute, human scaled things on narrow lots with narrow streets.
