Ring City!!!

[moeatc 0]

I like the idea of the olympic village, and how the road network submerges underneath it. Keep up Ring City - its a very clever idea and is working really well!

TBG: Olympics? You deserve a sixth bunny (and the fith too) Here they are:

Just a suggestion to cut down on loading time, host all your pics at Imageshack.us, it'll cut down on loading time for us on 56k modems (including me)

The Olympics at Ring City, now that's just great. The city is coming along very nicely.

This is reminding me about the Ring City that SC3KU had as one of those playable cities(I think there was two of them). This is getting good everytime.

what is the building with the arc over it and were can i get it

[thebestguy 0]

Ryan, thats the Cologne Arena, suited in Cologne, Germany and i found it in a german web, but cant remember wich one, maybe someone can tell you where

[riffsyphon1024 4]

Nice. Maybe you can get the new Greek Stadium built for this year's Olympics.

[Terse Pig 4]

All somebody has to do is make a stadium and half of a roof!

Great CJ, BTW!

Awesome city! Keep it up!!!

Nice.

I did a similar concept in SimCity 3000 called Octavia. It happened because I was trying to copy the Metropolis city that came with the game. Concentrated high density commercial in the center with residential in the middle rings and industrial in the outer rings.

Keep up the good work!

The Olympic Ring is great - I have used the Roda JC stadium as well in Norwich. If someone could change the black seating to green - I could pass it as Norwich City's stadium......

Heres an Update after a long long long time, the city has grown quite a bit since last time and most of the communications infracstructure is complete, having 6 rings composed by two highways and 4 grand Avenues, first, some pics of the region, some parks have grown Rail stations have been built, the Main one being the St Michaels Cross in South Ring. Most of the growing have come from the suburbs, all of wich are composed by Mid density

 

 

And now some update on Ring Town, in wich a lot more buildings has come up from the ground

The region population number got cut off - what is it up to now?  Very impressive city!

[thebestguy 0]

OHH yeah! sorry mayormommy, i forgot the population, It has grown to nearly 4 million souls, God help them all from their mayor

The inner island is almost full, but the industry is yet to be outedof it, but that one is going to be verry hard, and the cities sourrounding Ring Town can't grow much more. Each city is half high density and half medium density, almost all residential, and each contains more than 500.000 people, so i don't think they'll develop much more. One other thing i forgot to show you is this pic, wich shows the transportation graphics of Ring Town.

 

 

The three upper lines are for pedestrian, subway and bus, notice how in Ring Town there is almost no car usage comparing to the subway (half a million) and the bus, this i thinks can show you a bit of how the city functions and how the commute is.

Amazing airport contruction...whats lots did you use for that? I ssume it a pack...does the pack include the parking garages and paying facilities??

Also, are those PEG's seawalls or something else?? I like them..please tell me what they are..

[Speedy 0]

The inner ring got some tall buildings man... A real skyscraper city

[thebestguy 0]

Thanks for the compliments to all. I know it has gotten quite a bit large in extention, thays because of the city's zoning plans, being higher towards the middle and smaller as it expands, one of the latest expansions is this town i've called Litle Paris, mainly because part of the town is a recreation of a classical parisian neighborhood with the wonderfull buildings by Porkissimo and Xannepan, with a litlle touch of imagination placing gardens, canals and an austrian palace.

 

 

 

 

Ps.: The airport lots i used are all in the RH Airport Pack by Joerg, and yes it includes all the items. Thanks to Joerg btw.

Of course the main problem for this city is the money, cause all the parisian buildings are landmarks and they dont get taxed, so i'm currently on same labels of expenses and income, so in the end of the month i dont get money, but at least im not expending more than what i get

[subedei 3]

This is a really neat Regional concept. I like the way you have differetn cultural section in your city. Keep up the great work.

[thebestguy 0]

hehe, yeah, i've tried to represent the largest variety of cultures in my city, like Cosmopoilte city, i've even made a fishermans village in wich the houses are on the water, i'll show some pics later

[thebestguy 0]

BTW guys, can you help here to put my city in the signature as a link(red letters)? you know, as most of you have with you own cj, i don't know how to do this

[chunkymon24490 6]

Wow! I big city, with culture. I love Little Paris. It has a big city feel in some areas and in others its very original, much like many European cities.
It might possible be one of the fastest growing cities Ive seen, with a good infrastructure.

[thebestguy 0]

Well guys, not sure wat to do next, I was thinking of making like a cipple of sattelite cities, so the Region would be composed by three large cities (a Megalopolis) connected by the suburbs, so te suburbs of one city are the suburbs of the others.....

Another idea would be to simply leave it at there and only try to improve the cities that allredy exist by plopping parks, communications and stuff...

If you guys have more ideas, please let me know, or tell me wich of the ideas you like most, about the region or the CJ

Thanks to all
