Grotesque architecture

With buildings like this, they are about to crush my old wooden city.
Those who commission and those who design houses like this talk about the rows that stood here. The same arguments were used in the 40s when they demolished several blocks in the bag city. The politicians did not call it demolition, it was rewritten as redevelopment.
In the picture we see how depressing concrete blocks lean forward and look down at us menacingly. Is this how we want central areas of our city.
Kristiansand is the property of the residents, we live here, work here and spend our money here. We have the right to demand a friendly, inclusive urban environment, not concrete containers like the ones you see on the main streets of the world's major cities.
The area is not large, one square kilometer, 1000 meters long and 1000 meters wide.
The city plan is a recipe for a Renaissance city in the 17th century. Squares that became blocks. It is these squares that they fill with houses like this. A street layout that our descendants will have to live with for at least 3 generations.
Both pictures are from the long sides of the same quarter, in Markens it looks even worse. A quarter of shame.
