UPDATE 3 - ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Adelaide is the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of South Australia, and is the fifth largest city in Australia, with a population of over 1.1 million.[1][2] It is a coastal city beside the Southern Ocean, and is situated on the Adelaide Plains, north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between the Gulf St. Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges. Adelaide is located north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, on the Adelaide Plains between the Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges. The city stretches 20 km from the coast to the foothills, and 90 km from Gawler at its northern extent to Sellicks Beach in the south. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Adelaide Metropolitan Region has a total land area of 870 km², and is at an average elevation of 50 metres above sea level. Mount Lofty is located east of the Adelaide metropolitan region in the Adelaide Hills at an elevation of 727 metres. It is the tallest point of the city and in the state south of Burra. Much of Adelaide was bushland before British settlement, with some variation - swamps and marshlands were prevalent around the coast. However, much of the original vegetation has been cleared with what is left to be found in reserves such as the Cleland Conservation Park and Belair National Park. A number of creeks and rivers flow through the Adelaide region. The largest are the Torrens and Onkaparinga catchments. Adelaide relies on its many reservoirs for water supply, with Mount Bold Reservoir and Happy Valley Reservoir together supplying around 50% of Adelaide's requirements. Adelaide has a Mediterranean climate, where most of the rain falls in the winter months. Of the Australian capital cities, Adelaide is the driest. Rainfall is unreliable, light and infrequent throughout summer. In contrast, the winter has fairly reliable rainfall with June being the wettest month of the year, averaging around 80 mm. Frosts are rare, with the most notable occurrences having occurred in July 1908 and July 1982. There is usually no appreciable snowfall, except at Mount Lofty and some places in the Adelaide Hills. Adelaide International Airport, located at West Beach, is Australia's newest and most advanced airport terminal and is designed to serve in excess of 5.8 million passengers annually. The new dual international/domestic terminal replaces the old and ageing terminals known locally as the 'tin sheds', and incorporates new state-of-the-art features, such as glass aerobridges and the ability to cater for the new Airbus A380[23]. The airport is designed to handle 27 aircraft simultaneously and is capable of processing 3,000 passengers per hour. Unusual for a major city, it is located only about seven kilometres from the CBD. Being centrally located on the Australian mainland, Adelaide forms a strategic transport hub for east-west and north-south routes. The city itself has a limited public transport system, which is managed by and known as the Adelaide Metro. The Adelaide Metro consists of a contracted bus system including the O-Bahn Busway, metropolitan railways, and the Adelaide-Glenelg Tram. Road transport in Adelaide has historically been comparatively easier than many of the other Australian cities, with a well-defined city layout and wide multiple-lane roads from the beginning of its development. Historically, Adelaide was known as a "twenty-minute city", with commuters having being able to travel from metropolitan outskirts to the city proper in roughly twenty minutes. However, these roads are now inadequate to cope with Adelaide's growing road traffic.[21] As of 2006 Census, Adelaide had a metropolitan population of more than 1,105,839, making it Australia's fifth largest city. In the 2002-2003 period the population grew by 0.6%, while the national average was 1.2%. Some 70.3% of the population of South Australia are residents of the Adelaide metropolitan area, making South Australia one of the most centralised states. Major areas of population growth in recent years were in outer suburbs such as Mawson Lakes and Golden Grove. Adelaide's inhabitants occupy 341,227 houses, 54,826 semi-detached, row terrace or town houses and 49,327 flats, units or apartments. Adelaide's water supply is gained from its reservoirs: Mount Bold, Happy Valley, Myponga, Millbrook, Hope Valley, Little Para and South Para Reservoir. Further water demands result in the pumping of water from the River Murray. The provision of water services is by the government-owned SA Water. As South Australia's seat of government and commercial centre, Adelaide is the site of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street and in various districts of the metropolitan area. -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for viewing this CJ! and wait for Brisbane within the week!. Take care ~Alex~

[Mikeaut1 261]

Adelaide is nice!!! Nice work with it, any more trees that could be put in though, around the city?

[Benedict 3,119]

Wonderful job - I love the idea of this CJ!

[IDS2 3,346]

Great! However I recommend developing the whole tile. Great work nonetheless, especially along the city center. Looking forward to Brisbane!

[AceofSpades 1]

It's good that you live in Darwin I live in Melbourne, and homeandaway I bat that melboune is hard because there are quite a few airports and stadiums don't forget to put in AFL stadiums and training fields, dont forget to add in that realy tall bridge and the stadium where soccer players play in, and I think you have to BAT Chadstone shoping mall or Westfield and Eastland maybe Boxhill Centro and Glen Vaverly Centro, well I'll get rid of myself now anyway good CJs.

[Krio 624]

Ooh! I love how you insert airport in the middle of the city, how you don't flat the roads and not using seawalls is just grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! I mean, natural bumby terrain looks so great! And the Maxis is soooo much betterrrrr than custom content! It's good that you wont listen advices!

me too, i also love how the cities look nothing like RL

edit:hope the RL pic works

 

[sixers33 3]

It's not quite a grid like Adelaide, but i live there so i can't be tricked

What i would have liked to see as seen in this image:

Convention Centre, Festival Theatre, Hyatt Building, Santos building (now westpac) and more trees and parklands.

However, it is a very well researched project and i can see a few well known parts of Adelaide such as the Torrens River.

Still a very nice job H&A!

[Cockatoo 2,256]

It's not looking too bad but there's still the problem with the bumpy terrain. Looks like you pretty much nailed the CBD though.I'd really try to use sea walls for urban areas like Adeliade or at least line the rivers with trees.
