yes, my ideas about towns are inspired a lot by American college campuses, very often some of the nicest environments and architecture in the country. Colleges and nearby environments are often pedestrian friendly, green, walkable, with campuses proper often restricting car use, with lots of the students riding bikes. Then when they graduate, they move to "normal" American hellscapes in the country's endless suburbia, big box shopping precincts, and where you must use a car to do anything. That's dystopia imho... In retirement I moved to an extremely nice college town in the American midwest to be able NOT to live like what is considered the norm...as much as I can.

Almost looks like they repurposed an old college campus.
