    Ambitious Gadget Island Urban Masterplan Approved


    An ambitious urban Masterplan for Gadget Island is aprroved by Gatwick City Council. The booming economy of the city and the growing traffic congestion is requiring more homes near jobs says Martin van Dussen of Gatwick Department of Urban Planning. According to van Dussen the plans for Gadget Island was long in the works and heavily debated in Gatwick City Council. The debate is not on whether the plan is good for Gatwick city but on the price tag. The master plan will require 7 billion dollars in investment money that neither the city of Gatwick nor New Brunswick metro council have at the moment.

    The National Bank of Molokai and Gatwick City Bank have agreed on financing 5 billion dollars. The remaining 2 billion dollars will be allocated by tax payers money of the metro area.

    Gadget Island will again be detached from the mainland. The island will be expanded more towards sea while giving broad room for a water passage between the mainland and the island. Gadget island will be connected with 2 additional bridges and a monorail overpass. The majority of the homes on Gadget Island do not meet city residents requirements of today. The masterplan calls to demolish all but 5 percent of the buildings on the island for the construction of new residential buildings. A central park will be constructed in the center of the island together with a small commercial area. Included in the plans are also a marina, school, library, modern bus stops, a subway line and plazas.

    The present residents of Gadget Island will relocate temporarily to other areas in the metro until the project is completed.

    I think that you should use the other two tilesets as well, since your skyline could use a little variety. Nevertheless, good job!

    lookin cool but why in that last picture do you have that tunnel going no where??? lol? Keep up the great work. Oh yeah I also think you need to add some different tilesets to keep your city from getting too repetitive.
