Most cities bulldozed their past to build the future.

Here’s what 20 timeless towns still get right about urban design…..🧵
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Walled in and untouched since the 1600s, Rothenburg is a living museum of medieval street planning. Narrow lanes, central squares, and walkable design show why this layout still charms visitors today.
Hoi An, Vietnam
This riverside trading port still follows its 16th-century grid, designed for wind, water, and commerce. Its preserved layout makes it one of the most pedestrian-friendly towns in Asia.
