Dublin City

[fogeybear 0]

This is Dublin city, population 600,000. it is made up of 3 different cities, 1 major city, 1 small industrial port and 1 affluent harbour town. The main city (Dublin), is surrounded to the north by 2 big highways which are heavily under use and plans are under way to alleviate traffic.

to the east of Dublin is downtown, this is where offices, markets and bustling streets are to be seen, along with a lively night life.

Dublins Problematic traffic!

The city can be uniquely identified by its twin towers and its "observation" restaurant which stands out for miles around the island.

Nice layout! Really like how its placed at the shore and the harbour towns are realy well crafted! May I ask what map you are using? I like the "coasty" style of it.

Thanks guys, the map I used was in the coast section, its the big island one.

I made a journey from the airport to Central Square in downtown, to show you the layout of the city for people commuting to downtown.

The overall journey from the terminal to the Square is 9.5km, or 5.9 miles

Huge Traffic Jams as we get closer to downtown

I have taken advantage of the affluent boom in population and my small industrial town has been regenerated,

Fogey, I like this town very much. Keep up the good work.

thanks guys, i think it mixes everything up a bit when theres a couple of towns in the same area. any ideas on future expansions?

population is now currently at around 660,000

[jazyje 1]

Yep. I'm in NC ---- I actually ended up going to Emerald Isle and today I attended a Transit Conference in Wilmington (I'm actually a Transportation Planner/Engineer in the 'real world'...)...

That town looks neat. Can't wait to see it grow.

[fogeybear 0]

its already grown way passed the ringroad and out, ill update soon

[patriotizzy 0]

Sweet, will keep an eye out.

Now at 765,000 the population is reaching an exploding level as zoning levies and adequate spatial strategies are been put foreward to tackle the huge expansion of the city into the countryside.

That looks really awesome. It looks so crowded, it makes it look really urban.
