Indonesia has to be the least culturally relevant country relative to its size. 4th most populated in the world, biggest Muslim nation, huge archipelago, but what is it really known for? Palm oil? A tsunami in 2004? Huge country just chilling there with no bearing on the world.

It's no more well known about than it's South-East Asian counterparts (Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand etc.) despite being way bigger, no good at any of the big sports, not a very influential diaspora (as far as I know). Not to throw shade or anything, it's just odd.

You're saying this as if it would be the same for other other non-western countries. It's not. There are plenty of non-white, non-english speaking, non-western countries that are well known on the global stage. Indonesia should be one of them, but for whatever reason isn't.

Yeah there's definitely a ton of culture there. But there are other countries of similar size and cultural diversity that are far more well known about, Brazil the most obvious example.
Being good at football or even something like cricket or the Olympics would go a long way.

Unironically love that Australia's most well known landmark is a bold and beautiful piece of postmodernism and not just another Victorian era railway station or post office.

Not sure about that new capital city l project but I think they've built some high speed rail which is cool.
If they could get a bigger foothold on global trade that would be huge, unfortunately Singapore kinda snatched that from them.

The year is 2050. Sydney has built 7 new metro lines, has more riders on its light rail system than Melbourne's famous tram network, upzoned massively, and is a mode-share paradise. Melbournians meanwhile are still waiting for SRL Stage 1 to open.

Of ALL the criticisms you can make about these developments (there's so many) a lack of tree cover is not a reasonable one.
They're new developments, of course the tree cover is minimal, they haven't had time to grow yet.
Please focus on real complaints that have real solutions.

Hilarious how some people protest new rail lines in their neighbourhood because they think it will damage their property values when it actually does the complete opposite.
New data shows Sydney's Metro rail lines are bringing more than quick commutes to our suburbs they're also bringing soaring property prices. A deep dive into sales data shows suburbs with Metro stops are now outperforming those which missed out.

Are there actually any ugly cities in Australia?
Most places have at least a great built environment (most capitals, historic inland cities), or a great natural setting (coastal areas especially). Plenty have both.
Any big places that have neither? Do we have any true eyesores?

Can Max just commit to a stance on the supply side aspect of the housing crisis already? He seems to flip flop on his arguments depending on who he's trying to win a debate over.

MCM: “That planning is the reason houses are so expensive”
Karvelas: “It’s part of the reason”

I volunteer my home town of Launceston to be Australia's new regional megacity, as suggested by the NIMBYs.
All those immigrants and families that wanted to live in Sydney? We've upzoned South Launceston and have started building high speed rail to Hobart.

Inefficient land use, lack of footpaths, lack of cycling infrastructure, lack of local business, poor public transport, dark roofs adding to the urban heat island effect, social isolation. Give it 10 years and the tree cover will be one of the few nice things about these places.

I'm more so talking about the architecture, density and urban value the homes bring. Obviously a modern house will have more modern amenities. Doesn't mean we can't build modern, nice looking terraces with up to date features.

There's a club in the German 5th tier named after Tasmania. SV Tasmania Berlin, who's predecessor was SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin, originally adopted the name because the founders had planned to move to the state. If I ever make it to 🇩🇪, going to a game is 1st on the bucket list.
I want to travel to Europe, develop feelings for an obscure football club and support them for the rest of my life.

For real. Just come up with a nice design template, pre cast everything, build it on mass and bring down costs through economies of scale.
People don't tend to criticise cities where "everything looks the same" if that 'same' looks nice. Paris the most obvious example.

It really can't be understated how not difficult it is to design nice looking mass housing. A building doesn't have to be drenched in ornamentation to be of architectural merit, nor does it's surface need to be "broken up" with random protruding elements.
Sometimes a simple box, well executed with high quality materials and just a little bit of depth, is all you need to deliver a lovely building
