Is it overpriced, soulless and of questionably quality like in Belgrade?

Similar situation here in Lithuania.
They have redeveloped old, neglected semi industrial areas into residential estates. The developers have received all the required permits and everything, but what they have built are cramped apartment blocks(even more cramped than some of the worst soviet neighborhoods), often of low quality, with no parking, with no consideration to noise due to a busy 4 lane street right next to the new apartments, though the prices of such apartments, for a 1 bedroom is no less than 350k euros (and often more)

Europeans: There is a housing shortage, we should do something about it
Government: Builds new apartment blocks and expands the city
Europeans: Noooo, you ruined the neighborhood, how dare you!!!!!

Is it an improvement or not? Hard to tell by the picture, cause the 1st one tells very little as it is from birds persepctive and the 2nd is wide shot from the ground

I really dislike mixed use zones…even if it’s a necessary evil, it’s much nicer when they build huge skyscrapers and all accompanying infrastructure, like huge malls, highways and parking lots in a specific spot e.g. separate from the city, and then more slow paces leisure part, with side walk, caffes and bike lanes in other part, mixing of these 2 zones makes me kind off sick ngl…

And the trees were an obstacle to what exactly?

I actually like the image on top better, looks more authentic and more Eastern European

I love the vibe of Bratislava, but I hope they plant more trees than in the pic and they leave room for parks.
