Oddbean new post about login | logout > 18,000 people live in this single building in St. Petersburg, Russia why do the buildings in the middle get shorter instead of taller? wouldn't it make more sense the other way around? https://brotka.st/media/7289144ee866c0a178afbec7a01deb54ce747411bd8cc7f99edcbf5a9968e2cb.webp
@kaia but the bigger the building the more shadow it casts. if the buildings in the middle are shorter, the flats in the other buildings will at least have some sunlight. if you make the buildings in the middle taller, only a few flats in the taller ones in the middle will have sunlight
@kaia inner buildings are newer construction it seems
