Jandell

[jakehh 52]

Welcome to Jandell,

Jandell is a city, with nearly 1,000,000 residents living in jandell city & Suburbs.

Residents in jandell rely on 3 different means of transport;

1. (The most used transport) Car, there is a main highway in and out of the city center, with a set of Metropolitan ring roads under construction (Inner west, Inner East, Outer metropolitan)

2. Rail, there is 2 different stations in Jandell's city center, West and East, each connect via subway, but due to large demand, there will be a rework for a singular larger station. (and will serve both the north and south lines)

3. Metro/Subway, Jandell has a growing demand for public transport, With the suburbs growing out and the city growing up, there needs to be a faster way for citizens from the outer suburbs to reach the city.

The city is currently working on building an international airport, that would be served by highway, Rail, metro & bus.

The suburbs dominate the land surrounding the bay,

And here's a little preview of the highway system that connects the city with the suburbs.

I like how you terraiformed the shoreline there!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Yeah, I agree, nice terraforming you've got there!

[vivapanda 422]

That are some nice beaches there, good luck with your cj!

[bwong 36]

seems nice... but what's up with the huge space that is padding the highway?

[The Avatar 1,089]

Nice job with your first entry! Congrats, its very good!

[КaZZ 203]

seaside looks very nice, it would be create to see it closer =)

[InCommandOfCars 22]

This look great! did you also create the map? I would love to get a hold of it

[gc6164 36]

wow!!!!!!!!!

[Paulobergonci 673]

Great city, that looks like a typical american city

[dmonsta19 9]

Terraforming looks great, so does the city. I agree with Bwong though, that space could be used for more skyscrapers

[bwong 36]

no offense intended, but that's a whole lot of urban sprawl and pasting of zones and buildings -from what I can see- for an infinite amount of space.

[packersfan 666]

Great looking overview...though the wide gaps of freeway cutting through are a little excessive and a little too straight for my realism liking but they do illustrate that dividing neighborhoods that freeways often do.

wow

[ladybug2 15]

I liked.

@NathanTheMayor; I have to thank drunkapple for this great map.

@Emperordaniel; Again, thank drunkapple. ^^

@Vivapanda; Thank you.

@Bwong; I've left room for expansion that's planned soon, adding 2 more lanes.

@Mamaluigi945; Thank you :3

@Testuser1234; Thanks, And your wish has been granted.

@MelbourneDesigns; I did not create this map (although, i wish i did) DrunkApple did. You can find it here; Tarragona, Spain.

@Gc6164; Thanks

@Paulobegonci; Thanks, that's what i was aiming for

@Dmonsta19; Thanks. But the space is reserved for highway upgrades

@Bwong; no offence taken, i rather take the way of sprawl, it's more realistic (in my personal point of view)

@Packersfan; Thank you, i agree that it's too straight, but i'm not that great with highway building.

@Emajodior27; Thank you

@LadyBug2; Thank you :3

Now, I've been away for the week, but that hasn't stopped me from doing a few bit and pieces every now and then while i could, and the city has sprawled abit, with the ringroad near full completion (Western side is complete)

In Jandell west, you'll find many ways to get into the city, The most popular being car, then proceeding to Heavy Rail then to metro.

And further into the suburban part of Jandell West, you can find many stations like this next to houses and roads.

Then catching the metro into the Commercial District, you will need to catch the Jandell West Commerce Train, Which runs from Jandell west Station (Station in first image) then travels around the suburbs then heads to the northern area of Jandell West to serve the commercial district.

Then to get from the commercial district, you must travel back onto the main metro loop, Get off on Jandell Hwy / Industrial North, and Catch the Bus into the Industrial Centre (Soon to be serviced by metro)

If you live in the city, then getting back to Jandell Central is easy, Just catching a Jandell City Bus or metro train is one of the many options available.

Jandell had a major rail upgrade between the last update, Making the Eastern and Western Terminals into one singular Jandell Central station.

BEFORE UPGRADE:

AFTER:

The city of Jandell is slowly building more Sports arena's, with the first one being by the bay and conviently located by the highway.

With many business seeking land in Jandell City, many of the small buildings that host many of the important business' that help jandell run are slowly being bought out.

And now we head to the northern suburbs.

Serviced by 2 Train lines, the Northern line and Airport line. (Airport line was still under construction when this was taken)

While heading along the airport rail line, you will pass through the new Eastern Industrial center to serve Jandell's Eastern Suburbs.

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed the update

Here's the region so far.

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

Amazing update! I believe I've never seen your City Journal before but this has such a distinct look and design to it. Your downtown area is also quite nicely proportioned.

Anyway, hope to see more in the future. I promise I'll be back!

[simtalay 19]

wet man! I almost pissed myself! keep up the GREAT work

[bwong 36]

I like the zoomed in photos, the more detailed ones, but the moment you zoom out, it looks really repetitive, but i suppose that's out of your control....

[Keder 116]

Love it, especially the shots of the CBD.

[The Avatar 1,089]

Looking good! Urban sprawl as far as the eyes can see...

[dchotzen-hartzell19 34]

Looks a lot like L.A. Love it!

[ccecill 52]

this is one unique waterfront.. And your cbd is AWESOME!! Love your selection of buildings and your mt too.

[Jack³ 291]

Wow your city journal is really interesting!!! I like all the custom content too

[vivapanda 422]

Really great work!

[Fox 1,444]

I really like your City design, and the Region view looks awesome!

You need to add some parks or trees along that highway corridor and it'll look a lot less sore thumb like.

I'm also interested to know if you could provide a link to that rail station you've used in first picture of your last update.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

[jakehh 52]

@Element; Thank you Although, i spread out the Commercial districts to equalize the suburban spread.

@Simtalay; Thanks!

@Bwong; If you're talking about the city itself, i'm still in the middle of downloading more mid-rise buildings so they won't stay there.

@Keder; Thanks

@MamaLuigi945; Thanks, theres more sprawl on the western suburbs

@Dchotzen-Hartzell19; That's what i went for :3

@Ccecill; Thanks

@Jack3oh3; Thank you, expect more custom content soon ;D

@Vivapanda; Thank you

@Fox; Thanks, I've been doing that on areas i can currently, I'll be doing more to the city highway & reducing the eastern highway from airport onwards (excessively oversized etc) But it will all be finished soon

As for the station, i'm not sure which version i downloaded, but i'll link both. West Wing (Shinjuki Rail Station) East Wing (Shinjuki Rail Station)

I've been abit busy with a few things lately, But i've also been busy with some Transport in the Greater Jandell Area, incluing some new highway.

In Jandell's Metropolitan Ringroad, there was an upgrade to connect Jandell West via a major intersection, most buses use this intersection to go directly to the airport from jandell west and bypass suburbs.

(Jandell west is South of the intersection)

Then if we head east to toward The Main highway (M1) you will see the newly built interchange. (May be an eyesore to some)

(Jandell City Centre is South)

Now if we head back west to toward the Bay region, there was a decision to extend the metropolitan ringroad into the Highlands Freeway to service the Mountains and Western Bay regions by highway.

And as the highway/freeway upgrades were made, there was major upgrades to needed infrastructure in jandell's new suburbs and commerce districts. (Where skyscrapers and hi-rises are seen outside of Jandell City centre, they are Special commerce areas, which have great influence on how jandell grows as a city.

The newly established line consisting of 2 stations currently and then services the Mountain ranges (Only on special routes) also connects with jandell west then connecting to Jandell City, where all trains terminate or change over.

As that was the only rail upgrade in jandell, Here's something new for Jandell to expand both rail and bus networks.

Yes, a tram. Currently consisting 25km of tracks, (Much has changed since the picture above)

and connects with the subway lines to allow residential areas of jandell to travel to their destinations much more easily.

There is also a station outside of the "Jandell Metro Transport Authority" which runs Trams, Buses, Subway & Rail in the city, and is government owned.

As jandell is also in need of more tourism, we installed a historic tram stop that has trams go through every 5 minutes.

And then on the eastern district of Jandell, there was a tram line installed to service the area with more options of transport.

Enjoy, and there will be more highway upgrades on the M1.

Thanks for the reply, and the links, very much appreciated.

Another great update, love the creative designs of the highways, especially that first picture.

Keep up the great work.

[IDS2 3,431]

Hey cool! Something about this city seems...comforting, I'm not sure how else to describe it. It's very nice

[Moonraker0 193]

I like your sunken rail network in the suburbs. Nice job with that. I also noticed that you have multiple station props for some RTMT GLR-avenue stations appearing on top of each other (last picture). I used to get this; there was an update for RTMT released that fixed it. You might want to check that out.
