Trodding down the Communist Path

With the spread of globalisation like wildfire, our cities are becoming more generic, so do we embrace a laissez faire-ian type of attitude towards city building? If disneyfication of a city is a common trend of globalistion, is it a necessary evil that we should stamp out? or should we embrace it?



Whimsical Tallinn Old Town with mystical folklore characters to boost its perserved heritage. The old town is really well preserved and clean, with shops boasting its own baltic culture. I personally found it more exciting than it's southern neighbour, but it just seems to perfect, feels like a fairyland.



Communistic landscape looming over Latvia's horizon. It seems as though the soviets took away their soul and heritage, leaving behind its own occupation vestiges. As raw as it can be, it definitely doesn't seem as appealing as Estonia.

Therefore, would you want to be entertained by a clean and perserved village or be adventurous, exploring the raw sights of a country, even though it may be banal and soul-less.
