That's because I didn't included the construction sites *:P


"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

Sporadis is a small town designed and build to provide a high living level to its citizens with the lowest environmental footprint possible. The town was named after Sporades (Σποράδες, "those scattered", compare with "sporadic"), an island group in the Aegean Sea In Greece, and here you can see why.

5eab27a096293_Sporadis-May.1151588271258.jpg.83d70601da55b2a522eb42b38a6989ce.jpg

About 1,800 Sims live in this green, futuristic town and the access here is by road or the subway.

5eab27a7c1554_Sporadis-May.17151588271327.jpg.d799954eee0f3c5c149a7f00dfb7b826.jpg

Sporadis was build by preserving the local environment as much as possible. This means application of green technologies, plenty of parks and mass transit, no heavy infrastructures and no excessive terraforming. The town has adopted a stair-like pattern that allows it to hug the relief of the landscape when it's possible, while avoiding bumpy roads and silly construction results. This can be visible by the tree lines that separates the buildings apart, providing extra green belts with all the benefits from it, such as absorbing sound and air pollution, reducing the temperatures in hot days and giving a sense of privacy to the residents.

5eab278f42501_Sporadis-Jun.5151588271414.jpg.01dea97f1371ebe8871605ff652ba734.jpg

5eab27957c2c5_Sporadis-Jun.11151588271443.jpg.e89e55a281206176b626af4014c1e458.jpg

The town takes most of its energy by those wind turbines, which provide enough energy to store some of it for emergency situations, while a neighboring city sells some of its water to Sporadis.

5eab277e1c45e_Sporadis-Jul.2151588271521.jpg.a20f7e9f83b97d872f2df6099ff91b6c.jpg

This is the industrial area. A small group of factories produces useful good by 3D printing and robots. A recycling center and a small but efficient waste-to-energy incinerator are next to it, as well as a small water purifying system.

5eab2784b1ee9_Sporadis-Jul.12151588271567.jpg.5d38dd1be4cced8a05e03e1c5c98ad9a.jpg

This area has most of the most important civic services, such as the mayor's house, the central computer, the elementary and the high schools, the digital library and the cultural center of the town. All of them are next to the Sporadis skyfarm, that covers some of the town's need for food.

5eab276e052e7_Sporadis-Aug.17151588271692.jpg.a904024bfa4e50b63ac60ea306623ffb.jpg

Very close to them we have the police station, the fire station the clinic and the civic forum of Sporadis.

5eab27b3d7219_Sporadis-Oct.18151588271941.jpg.1d8222c8cc34934b7fab065c0dda51ef.jpg

By walking in the streets of Sporadis, we'll be finding plenty of bus stops and subway stations, parks, dirty paths for pedestrians, and the town's spiritual center. Look very closely and you might find pigeons, seagulls, buzzards and even parrots flying around.

5eab27c0bf38b_Sporadis-Sep.14151588271798.jpg.597a75569dbb537f6c0d7370073d45bd.jpg

5eab27778890e_Sporadis-Jan.27161588272313.jpg.f0ed12f9dd0cba16265c196252f2b3e0.jpg

5eab279b04e5c_Sporadis-Jun.13161588273102.jpg.fb5eaa90d51b7828d4ce134cb87b8005.jpg

5eab27bab3f78_Sporadis-Oct.27151588271992.jpg.0363c08bc2301ae0beb342894aa60892.jpg

And as I said before, no heavy infrastructures here. No highways, no airports, not even a single seaport. Building a seaport here would made a serious environmental catastrophe here. The water here is deep and clean enough to bring plenty of animals, including whales. Why deploying ships here that can kill those beautiful creatures, when you can fly drones with quiet ion engines to come closer to them and admire them? Earth belongs to everybody, not only to us.

You might have noticed that lately I've been posting pictures mostly from small, environmental-friendly towns of the future. This is because not only I wanted to do something different than epic metropolises with ginormous skyscrapers and flying cars everywhere, but also to give you a glimpse for a new project I'll be working on. A small solarpunk city journal. Stay tuned :)

I love what you have going on with the streetside maxis trees. what mod is that? I don't wanna use custom trees (only default) but love the foliage in your pictures!
