Khaledi Democratic Republic

Oooh! NOW I know what Khaled City was based off of... Riyadh I was wondering...

BTW Welcome to IPON! I like the conference center.

[2nerdy4u 1]

Nice update. Looks like there's a lot going on.

Welcome to the IPON!

Nice newspaper and I like the new conference centre. By the way, where did you get that?

Chinese approach seems to be interesting. What does the US say about it? As an IPON member Khaled should earn more international respect...

I am sure the Second IPON Summit will be great!

Wow impressive newspaper! I like the building sites and the road intersections I can't wait to see more!

Alright so I've been thinking about it, and as a beginning Arabic student a much closer way to transliterate Khaledia would be to type .7aleejaa into http://www4.ncsu.edu/~yahussai/A_E/

it would roughly correspond to khaa-leh-jah, its just very very wrong to have each letter separate as you and others have in your signatures. Arabic only exists as a script in cursive.

Looks awesome, Frogface! I really love the conference center construction site! I can't wait to see when it's complete!

An update on Khaled City's road network

And an overview of the city

This shows the route of the new ring road.

The city has been expanding the most to the west, mainly because of its good transport links to the CBD with highways going to the city centre but its hoped the ing road might balance out development with a transport artery around the city.

bixel:Thanks for the comment!

sEAhAwk fAn121:Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the paper as I hope to do more in future

suplado!:Thanks, I've been experimenting with new layouts thanks to NAM, cant wait for the new RHW too

Giligone:thanks, and hope to see you at the conference centre

panthersimcity4:Thanks, yes Riyadh was a big inspiration for Khaled City, interesting city

2nerdy4u:Thanks!

bokrif: Thanks, the conference centre is a shanghai building which I found on the STEX, Chinese batswork surprisingly well the situation with China could prove to be interesting, Khaled traditionally is a big ally of the Western powers but now it can use China to its advantage as an alternative, if US doesn't like it too bad maybe less oil for them

cleaner475:Thanks!

Shanna:Thanks for the comment

JFman00:thanks for the help

The Big Z:Thanks, it should be complete now thanks to lax labour regulations!

penguin007:Thanks!

nazaguy:Thanks, I agree,  but on the other hand the emirate can't go too far with suspicious deal;s unless it wants to look like an international pariah!

crazyarchitect:Thanks, and I'm sure the Emir is pleased to see another supporter of his China policy

Wow, I've seen this CJ before, but I've never commented, great work!

Dont let the ringroad become like the M25

[connorc24 2]

Woah! Amazing update! Looks like the perfect place to hold a summit! Wonderful job! I can't wait to see more!

[Giligone 10]

Thats some really excellent work Frogface. Khaled City is really becoming a tangle of expressways. I hope they will be enough to tackle the demands of drivers. Looking forward to more on this as construction continues.

[Yoman3 5]

Another excellent update in this Journel FF. Its very interesting to see these cities expand rather than be already built.

[skyliner22 16]

Wow looks like Khaled continues to grow, with that kind of a ring road; it can only branch out more in the future!

[BurroDiablo 222]

Fantastic update Frogface, looking forward to that Summit

[Shanna 1]

Wonderful road and highway sistem! It's really impressive and so realistic... wow! I like the pic with building site and the overpass crossing the suburbs! Excellent update!

[androidboi 57]

omg this is so awesome. all the arab cjs are so nice.

[bokrif 18]

The ringroad project is nice. Nice to see the construction of it. The conference center and the international quarter looks great! I look forward to the Second IPON Summit.

[sebbyb07 2]

very nice! i love the idea of ring rads round a city, not sure why though, don't let it become a giant parking lot!

[penguin007 27]

Nice interchanges and ringroad, I saw your contribution to the interchange thread awesome work!!!

Will

[crazyarchitect 7]

Nice work on the Ring Road, it could be like Houston one day, we have 2 completed rings with another under construction lol

[Interchange 0]

Awesome ring road construction photos!

[JFman00 1]

Those X interchanges are stunning. And an overpass over eight lanes of traffic, wow! The construction shot is really neato as well!

[Simfan34 11]

I have to say, I like looking at that overview. Once again, a very nice layout and planning of your cities!

[ccecill 52]

Great job on the Ring Road frogface! Your road layout is sooo realistic!

Love your cj, esp. your Khaled City. Hey, i got an idea for you. how about building a botanical gardens near the conference center for the upcoming IPON summit? it will help all of the visitors and VIPs feeling calm and relax after they took a stroll in the botanical gardens. after all, most cities have botanical gardens or huge parks, right?

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Excellent pictures, the city is really coming along awesomely. Very nice region pic too, just out of interest, which ground exture do you use?
