are there proper simple terms for areas with different amount and concetration of human development? recently in my head I started using "hi-anthro" for very dense areas with high-rise buildings and concrete fields and "low-anthro" for these "soviet" kind of areas with less dense low to mid-rise buildings and a lot of vegetation inbetween. but I wonder if there are commonly used terms for this?

it's definitely not just "high density" and "low density" though, I think what I'm trying to express is a bit more nuanced than just density.

Maybe "urbanized" for the first kind of place

darek's avatar darek 12 hours ago

Generally all can fall under the umbrella of urbanization, however I don't think there's an distinctions between types or levels or urbanization

If we were to go by the western view of urbanization... In reality, what you see in russia with high rise apartment blocks with greenery in between is practically "sub-urbanized" despite not having the usual characteristics of western suburbs. It's more "sub-urban" as opposed to "suburban" if you know what I mean.

More so, Soviet urbanization is typically 'inorganic' in the way that it is all a very planned effort to build these apartment blocks as they were made to accomadate working class needs. Soviet apartment blocks are constructed in a way that each block contains a whole blocks daily necessities (shops, parks, schools, etc.)

The distinction between the concrete jungle (Lower Manhattan, Shinjuku, etc.) and something like the typical Soviet block has no names... Rather, all of it is urbanization, just under different names. You can call Soviet blocks something like "Soviet Urbanization" and high-rise areas as "Dense Urbanization". Something like that

Hopefully this helps...! Sorry had to flex my knowledge hahaha. The Nuance of urbanization is very hard to categorize, and while I do understand that it is beyond just density... historical context behind why places are urbanized like that can usually be written off as "government wants grid streets because high density and building up is necessary"

Mr. Saint, in such cases you just have to coin your own terminology. It's almost always better than existing ones for referring to the specific thing you notice.

I never would have thought I would get involved with this, I literally never touch these parts of the internet and they don't touch me either.

Thanks a lot! I will have more fun with cameras, the more difficult part is to write about it then create pages on my site but I'm sure I will get used to that!
