Real Toronto "Official Plan" Sim City Map

[nickjbor 0]

I dont remember if I've posted this here before or not, but here goes.

This is a copy of the Toronto "Official Plan" map that I've recoloured to use sim city colours!

Toronto does not use the same R-C-I that we do. Commercial is replaced with "Mixed Use", and Industrial with "Employment Areas". In general, they do transition. I've edited the map myself to try and show the difference between office and service commercial uses.

Nice very but a little complicated!!

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Looks very good. Perhaps the same logic can be applied to some regions.

[belfastuniguy 18]

That looks very good indeed, great representation of the city

[profecy 2]

hey thats neat

[jugioh1012 2]

Wow,looks like a lot of effort was put into this!Great map!

[Duke87 1,070]

Heh. I've also been known to do these long and fun but pointless projects. Time well wasted, I say!

[mcarch 15]

NOt unless you recreate the city using what he just did?!

[simsmart 1]

Hmm...

Don't forget Downsview and City Center (airport)!

That little hocky stick (so canadien lol) shaped land in the bottom left had corner is also in re-development.

Do you have humber college on that map?

Do you have union station and the GO line marked off?

That area by centenial park should be well to do.

Note where the I-M is (northwest), and where the I-D is (downtown).

Note where possible reward lots can go, the TV Studio (CBC) Radio Studio (Chum) etc.

The map is very well done. I am not sure if all of the maps you created came from the Toronto OP, but here are some of my thoughts. for maps 2 and 3.

Well I agree with Rexdale as a 'problem area' but it is too generalized. Certain communities like Thistletown and along Jane/401 may not be classified as problem areas. I also disagree with the east end of downtown as it may better be classified as 'revitalizing'. Examples include Leslieville and the Distillery District where there are pockets of revitalization are underway.

You seemed to have left out several 'Well to do' areas such as the Kingsway in Etobicoke, York Mills, The Annex, and Yorkville.

In terms of development nodes, spot on, but you could also add the Six Points area which stretches from Kipling Subway Station all the way to Islington. There are lots of new development there from Tridel and Pemberton.

very interesting.

what i find most so is the vast amount of residential required to support so little commercial development, i guess this is because so much of it is low density housing. i think maybe that this is something that is often forgotten when playing simcity, getting caught up in the glamorous downtown areas with the gleaming skyscrapers and ignoring the humdrum of the endless miles of suburbs and inburbs (if you know what i mean) that make up the majority of major conurbations.

So cool!

Good job!

[Blakeway 211]

Good job dude, are you from Toronto? If not can you do one of Montr�al! xD Toronto is a great city but it subway is very wrong... Montr�al isn't better but still more beautiful (Subway).... T.T On the other side it's well done!!! Nice!!!!!

Hey dude, watch the caps lock. Typing caps will only make the mods mad at you. And keep in mind that this map, although really cool and well done, was posted over a year ago.

[bwong 36]

pretty cool!

[tadge94 0]

good idea planning and mapping out the sectors in your city ive tried doing the same before but never really worked out right nice one

[iuri99 48]

I want see this in sim city.

Hard to made, i think..

[Slashback 136]

Cool map, but what are you going to do with it?

[Ocram's Razr 964]

I love it! I think that I might do that for Seattle.

[bwong 36]

I live in toronto, and toronto is a sad place to live if u drive.... especially from York Region into downtown

[Madri 3]

I'm not a Canadian and never been to Toronto, but when I look through these forums and there talking about traffic they always say Toronto is very heavily congested for one reason is because they didn't want to 'Americanize' the highways. Its lay out seems complex the grid like in NY would do wonders and expanding highways wouldn't hurt

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

I was there this summer!I can name some of the highways If I wanted. Anyways, awsome map!!

You're saying that our subway is hard to follow, look at N.Y. or London (link is below). Montreal's subway is all curvy. Our subway is the most perfect subway ever(look at map, then look at the rest of the maps). you can see that our subway is perfect.
