NouVille

[aarbee 0]

I had a City made in 2010, but it has gone corrupted since I opened it up in 2011. So I started a new village, with the name Nouville.

Site

Nouville is situated around lake Nouw. The area has been freshly bought by a project developer.

Streetlayout

The first streets have been curved around  a nice curve in the lake.

The first buildup

Agriculture

A big part of the cities ground, will be covert by agriculture.

Only a few farms have been build here.

I like the layout around the lake, it looks pretty and nicely organized.

Extesion planned.

Meanwhile extensions have been planned into the centre of the Village.

A School, police station, firebrigade and small hospital have been build.

Al buildings are medium density. And some are low density.

On this moment the houses of the people have been extended to Executives and a few Elites.

The village has build a townhall and several entertainment buildings.

At the entry of the town are few hotels build.

Below is the extended village plan.

1. Unskilled
2. Skilled
3. Executives
4. Elites
5. Shops
6. Offices
7. Extension

On the right in the green is the farm area.

Left bottom corner is industrial park, with manufacturing and even some hightech.

1 Highways A1 and A2 are simplemented. Yet... the connection between the A1 and A2 goes over a local city avenue.

The N1 and N2 are national roads.

Below you will see what areas have been planned around the townhall. A school is build on the right, just outside the view, in the middle of the rubble.

On the right is the townhall. In the middle the marketplace (It is not showing the stands after a few seconds. Error?)

Relocation of A1, Connection to A2

the A that partially went around the town, was havy crowded. the town decided to rename the A1 into C1 (C from City-expressroad) and build a new highway right of the old. This one is called A1.

The town was so clever to build a real highway and add a connection to the A2 and another one that ends up at the curve of the C2.

As last, was a intersection build at the industrila park. And connects to the N3.

Many years, before the present town arose, was an old medievale village. It had several gates and an wall around it.

The new city made it needed to destruct a part of the town and went underground with a connectionroad to the new part.

The destroyed part was allready in a very bad shape.

Left of the tunnel is the oldest part with even an old Taverne from the 14th century, and on the left bottom the road was just inside the wall, and it is called Wallstreet.

The city had decided to rebuild the old village, made houses to be able to house unskilled and skilled people.

Even a few shops in the old style where added.

The church and well neighbouring it is from the 16th century. A 14th century well was digged up near the border of the new town.

As the mayor, I can say, we made a nice job, into restauring the area. It even attracs visitors from the big neighberhood.

Overview of the old town

1. Churchstreet
2. Mainstreet
3. Watergatestreet
4. Weekmarket
5. Fishmarket
6. Animalmarket /  Festivalarea
7. Wallstreet
8. Taverne

Nice old town --- Watergate Street reminds me of that old German town from the game 'Saboteur'....

I like the tunnel idea as well --- I wish someone would mod CXL 2011 and give us old CITY WALLS!!! AND some castles!!!

Also, instead of 'animal market', I'd use 'Farmers Market' --- widely accepted in the US at least...

2 Restaurants where build, as well as a small marina for sailingboats, and a bigger pier for bigger boats. (It is a pitty, that there is no ships annimation.)

Enjoy the images.

The City of NouVille has bended them over City promotions.

The first they did do, was to create a logo.

Here it is.

The lines you see in here are equal to the first roads that have been build in NouVille. Including the only way out to the neighberhood.

[Damastius 5]

Good logo - it's simple and memorable.

The Town of NouVille has been creating a prospect, with some nice images about the town.

The core images are about: Jobs, Living, Living in the Future and holidays.

The best prospectcards are being showed below. They will make it to the bigger newspapers.

I lost this City, because every factory was suddenly complainging, that there was no traffic.

I pulled the plug at the bankaccount of - 999.725.

I had about 600.000 inhabitants with a positive income rate of 50.000 until the factories started complaining

Real life took over.

And I started a new City. Called RiverCity a dozen times.

I lost it due to stupid decisions (learningprocess), and several crashes.

The last crash also made it clear to me, that I could not use the installation of NouVille anymore.

I will rebuild it in a time, again.

In the meantime, I learned to save the game in a rotating destinationmap.

AND I started indeed RiverCity.

I was encouraged by an other CitiesXL player to start a blog about CitiesXL.

Placing some tips and tricks there. Show the Cities as a leading item.

The blog has been started here: My link

Unfortunately for a lot of people it is written in Dutch.

I am not sure what I will do with the Simtropolis, as I used it also as a kind a blog.
