This is just an imagined version of Dresdens Postplatz by the artist loom for Realutopien. The current state is this:

Looks nice. Will be a lot less nice in winter when the leaves fall, though.
Not really, as someone that lives in an urban area with far more trees than this its pretty easily managed by leaf vacuum trucks. You just lead blow and rake them into a line on the side of the road and the truck comes by with a vacuum on the back to collect them for composting. Do this for like a month max and it's fine.
Wasn't thinking about leaf management. When the leaves fall it leaves you with naked and grey trees. Couple it with the classic overcast weather in Germany during winter and everything turns monochrome.
Yeah but the rest of the time it's green. And it's not like you couldn't plant some evergreens along side to give some winter colors.
My American brain took too long to realize the public transit space is already in place. Yeah, add trees and shit, why not.
