Show us your Downtown!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I like it, but that's a dangerously low bridge. Should the tide rise, or rough storms cause waves, that bridge would certainly be flooded. Not to mention hardly a canoe could fit under it, and I'd bet a river that wide should accommodate quite a bit of boating traffic. Here's my take on a possible fix.

<snip>

 

Interesting analysis, and I'm pretty thankful for your tips, but the city hall is kind of the important thing in this picture. I'd rather just demolish the bridge in that case. Also, you can't see it, but that's a lake. Not an ocean. Storm waves probably wouldn't become high enough to flood the bridge. I do understand what you mean by the canoe business, though. That kind of annouyed me, too.

 

I'll get it fixed. I'll probably end up simply removing the brige and placing it somewhere else instead. We'll see.

Hey, it was just an idea It's your city!

Why not 1000 Lakeside Avenue or the National Gallery of Victoria? These aren't government buildings in real life but they will suit the role here

Thanks, but no. None of those look anything like what I want.

Where did you get the "hitachi" building? Please tell

[jmsepe 2,039]

Downtown Rourke, Capital of Maricopa. Of course it's not finsihed What I need most is a large government-y building for the lot by the split avenue. 

 

 

Whoops, nice one in here Borg. Green downtowns are hard to find these days.

 

Just one question: What is that stadium at the upper left?

It took a while searching for it but the "hitachi" building is none other than Cockatoo's HK Harbour Centre Great Eagle Centre which can be found here-

Thank you very much indeed!

 

The building is Psander5's

These pictures are from Cambria, a city that I intend on turning into a full length City Journal, however, there are buildings that are not currently in Sim City 4 that I wish to use in it.  Needless to say, I need BATing skills before this goes anywhere, or by some miracle, all the buildings I want get turned into BATs.  Anyway, here are some pictures.

 

 

 

[Huston 5,799]

Beautiful city there Saturn! Love the feel and blend of architecture

 

Meanwhile, here's something new and something old

 

 

[Alejandro24 575]

This is more a historical downtown, more than a CBD.

Apologies for the odd night shot, try to think of it as some buildings being lit by powerful uplights for no reason whatsoever. 

[jmsepe 2,039]

You definitely have mixed Maxis and Dark Night buildings but then again some cool buildings don't have DN version, so that should be understandable.

[Forsma7 1,325]

well this is far from big downtown lol:

 

Mizushiro, a 41k population town's Downtown:

[Chesh 173]

Downtown Entario, with a population of 100K or so



 

[Indiana Joe 1,750]

Needs less Maxis, but I approve of the extensive mass transit system.

[jmsepe 2,039]

I don't really make mosaics but I suddenly felt like making one. 

 

Achi-Ichi-Nishi, Kindaichi, Seirin City, Teiko

 

 

I still have problems with those roads shining bright like a diamond.    

Happy holidays!

Wow! A city of lights! My type of city.

A quiet afternoon in downtown Hamilton:

[Mymyjp 1,052]

Awesome work everyone!

 

This is the central area of my downtown..the city only has so far 16K sims..but they love that park!

 

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Mymyjp, I really enjoy that central area park.  

[tonyr 926]

Nice pics guys!

City of Navy. 60+ k population within tile. Will make neighbouring satelite cities when i figure out why my change of terrain mod makes other empty tiles have mountain-range-like height as a standard. 

 

Navy has seen some recent development with two office towers being built within the last five years, as an indirect result of the construction of a new hospital and police station to the east of downtown. 

The city has managed to cut the crime rate in half and improve the health of the population, this has opened for investor and imployer interest. The backbone of the economy is however still manufacturing industry. 

( I am still horrible at implementing public transportation, even though i know i have more enjoyment when my cities have it, as it feels more realistic. Navy has three train stations; Downtown and two in the suburbs...)

(Will try and implement a bus system as well, allthough i dont find most bus stations to fit a rural setting.)

Now that's a very nice picture Mymyjp  

Who wouldn't love that park? It's awesome!

I also like your selection of buildings. They blend toether really well.

And, if you don't mind, may I ask you where you got that big white building direcly to the right of the column? The one with the L-shaped part.

It kinda looks like a hospital.

[Infrastructurist 434]

This is Fargo. Old city i spend some time remaking. Mostly the core and the docks. Despite the flashy new modern buildings in the downtown area, Fargo has actually been in a sure but steady decline for the past decade or so, because of heavy urban sprawl. A good chunk of old buildings has been demolished and replaced with ugly parking lots, however, the city administration has got the approval for 280 million $ worth of investment into the downtown authority in an attempt to rejuvenate the core.
