    Love the park plus that old church located on the edge of it as well! I see you have quite a bit congestion on your roads -- that's typically a good sign in my view as it suggests there is a lot activity going on in your city... No expressways in your city ?--- I'm not a big fan of them either, unless they just form bypasses around the cities or are buried underground (such as the Big Dig I-95 in CBD in Boston).... What many interstates have done to many U.S. downtown areas is a total disgrace/nightmare... Cut off neighborhoods from each other.

    The current city!! 9.gif

    OK I'm sorry for my terrible updating. My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I had to fix it. Sadly the old city was deleted but I have started a new one. It's called New Marinora City and is a modern  and green city.

    I have taken some of the nicest things from the old city and some new stuff. I have a big downtownpark just as in the old city and a welltougt roadnetwork. Something I havent's done like in the old city is using the gid al to much. In this city I wanted a green organic look so I have done many curvy roads and a lot of small parks between them.

    In the old city I let it grow relativly natural, but in this I started directly with the skyscrapers.

    Just like the old city i use the sandbox mod.

    Here's is a little teaser:

    It's very realistic.... but i figured out an increased traffic congestion problem... Too many red roads aint that good 4.gif It's going to become even worse when you'll increase your population... It's a great city though, I really like it

    Marinora Highs is one of the most wanted places to live, so in this short update I'll show you some pictures.

    cxl_screenshot_armino%20city_8.jpg

    The highrise buildings overlooking the Marinora River, and the big luxury apartment closer to the river.

    The area is surrounded big small and big avenues connecting the area with the rest of the city.

    The Furni Tunnel connects Marinora Highs with Furni and downtown.

    cxl_screenshot_armino%20city_7.jpg

    The Furni Tunnel entry.

    Inside the avenues there are small roads connecting the buildings

    And at last I need some help with something. I have this empty area between the expressway and

    the downtown highrise. I don't want to build another massice park and not a area with just huses. 

    cxl_screenshot_armino%20city_9.jpg

    How about some civic uses --- i.e. a stadium or museum?

    I suggest you build a big shopping centre over there, with some plazas to cover the remaining spot.
