Are you honestly saying current glass buildings are less appealing than '60s and '70s brutalism?
Brutalism is my favorite style of architecture. If whomever you're referring to won't say it I sure will - current glass buildings are less appealing to me than brutalism.
Which city looks the most modern? I.e. lots of very recently buildings (as a percentage of total building stock), very up to date infrastructure, modern public transport system, a clean look.
Of the cities I went to, I'd have to say San Diego or Nashville.
LA had an old school charm, actually, with the exception of Santa Monica and Beverly Hills.
Boston looks both newish and old, but has too much history to really be considered among the most modern.
Of the ones I haven't been to I assume Miami. Not sure about Houston since I only saw it from afar but it looks kind of space-agey.
Seattle would be my first choice. Modern buildings up to date public infrastructure. Modern transit system. Next would be San Diego judging from pictures. Atlanta has a Modern look along with Miami, Dallas and Houston. Charlotte is a good example of a young successful modern city.
Nashville has Modern buildings but that is it. Some streets don't even have proper drainage and sidewalks and you can forget about a Modern lightrail system.
Ask me again once lightrail opens in Austin. That city will be pretty decent in the next 10 to 15 years. Now? No. But well on its way.
