I have three cities I want to show you, A-1, my most recent city (I'm naming this region like a grid, it's 8x8 large tiles 3.gif), A-2, south of it, and Canyon City, one of my older cities, but it's bigger than all my others (Almost 450k people, 200k Com jobs and 150k Ind jobs).

A-1:

Let's start on the west end of it:

a1pic4wx6.jpg

Going east...

a1pic3aa0.jpg

Zoomed out to show more:

a1pic2qt0.jpg

East more, also showing the where it starts heading south:

a1pic1jn7.jpg

Let's go south into A-2, where the commercial district continues:

a2xh2.jpg

Now for the older (and less realistic, but bigger) Canyon City (In a different region). This is the original Commercial area, this was my first city that I had the NAM to play with, I experimented with it a bit 3.gif

canyoncity1ty0.jpg

Now for the prettiest, and second newest area (it's northeast of the first area):

canyoncity2gg7.jpg

And the newest, smallest, and most oddly placed area in the middle of the western edge of the city:

canyoncity3rg7.jpg

EDIT: BTW I don't plop my zones like some people do, I just zone and let it grow 4.gif

This thread is for downtown areas in general.

Not everyone on the site likes a skyscraper jungle in their city,

sim_city-freak: Most of them are in the STEX. Just type in "Dareka" and "Linkartist" in the search engine.

As for the high governance tower, its a relotted work by me but you can get the original files here:

http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=all;page=2;id=

Its a rather large file though.

And I believe that these are all custom buildings BUILT yourself. But I doubt that. Honestly, is there a height limit for a building like Sim City 3000? I've built many building for 3000, but there was a height limit.

ac94, I have one question: Is it (Andrewtropolis Tower) ploppable or growable. I can't belive it is growable. Maybe I' m wrong?
