In this episode of My Weird Prompts, Herman and Corn tackle a challenge from their listener Daniel: designing a brand-new Israeli city from the ground up. With Israel’s population recently crossing the ten million mark, the hosts explore how to achieve functional density without the typical sensory overload of modern urban life. They dive into radical policies like "acoustic urbanism," the Dutch "woonerf" concept, and the Vienna model for social housing. From utility tunnels that eliminate jackhammers to green facades that dampen city noise, this episode provides a visionary blueprint for a city that prioritizes people over cars. Tune in to discover how "Hermanville" could become a global model for high-density, low-stress living where everything you need is just a fifteen-minute walk away.
