I love that shit. A big part of retro futurism is elevated streets and walkways. We should build our cities to that you can get from one end to the other without ever having to touch the ground

My city has skywalks between a majority of the buildings downtown. Its nice in the winter but the malls of the 80's and 90's kinda set back the downtown area in a major way that its only just recently recovering.

I loved riding the escalators between the different levels of the island and being able to get around while traffic was driving underneath me. Hong Kong was such an amazing place, pitty I’ll never get to see it again.

We have a few of those in NYC/North NJ area, it is hard to find maps though. The current popular one is Hudson Yards which connects a few blocks arounds 30-34th streets on the west side of New York City.
