A heuristic for how freedom-friendly your urbanism aesthetic is:

If you draw an image of a city with your urbanism aesthetic, and then replace a random building with a McDonalds, how much worse does it become?

Lunarpunk clearly beats solarpunk on this dimension.

That is one branch of solarpunk art, but I prefer this interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqJJktxCY9U

It's also more resilient to the McDonalds test (although not perfectly so)

I hope the Dear Alice style is what people think of as solarpunk becomes more mainstream, though I think it's unlikely

Reminds me a little of Studio Ghibli, which I love - I’d be fascinated to see an experiment where a few thousand people were to focus on this sort of thing and genuinely immerse themselves for 3 weeks.
