Reminiscent - Aenopolis

[alicenychto 41]

## Preface

Hello, pleased to meet you, it's the first time for me to post a CJ over Simtropolis.

I'm alicenychto from simcity.cn.

This is a finished project that covers a middle-size map, with around 230k ~ 260k residents.

I used another 5 mid-size maps to create demands and jobs, including 3 functional and 2 with landscapes (might be used for my future projects). The traffic seems to be congealed and there's problems with my urban planning, though. 

Reminiscent will be a series of projects that covers something of my memoria. I don't know when will it lasts. Aenopolis is a name that imagined by myself, that should be something about wind and air.

I haven't worked on Simcity 4 for years and this is the return after long-time deadly silence, after that I finished my configuration of SC4 over my Mac with a wineskin winery. Luckily the game runs perfectly to me.

So that's all. Thank you very much.

### Project Aenopolis

2016.5.29 ~ 2016.6.5

Last update: 2016.6.5

Publish: 2016.6.13

The urban area has almost covered the map, and it has a population of nearly 230~240k. Mid class residents have grown and became the main class of the city so far.

I am trying to cover all the corner of the map as I can. Yet I have badly designed the network and functional zoning.. Railway, bus, monorail, highway and subway are all full of passengers ... The map became therefore a kind of eye candy rather than simulation ≥.≤

###  Paranoma

It's getting dark. The rain started.

### Rendered pictures (thanks to Pixelmatr >_<)

The sun has given its last spark and artificial lightnings are getting on.

Time to get home, though rain is getting bigger.

Moon flowed over the cloud, rain is calming down.

Halfway to home. It's raining so hard. Wondering if there would be some children playing beside the lake?

Mid-night. No more passenger. Welcome back home.

Oyasumi. Good night.

Dreamin' ... The streets, the buildings, seem to be so familiar. If there would be those friends of childhood?  

Good morning.

 

### Street View

These pictures show the details of the metropolitan area, and its main functional zones.

- The principal commercial area, that's around the Avenue of Sunset Sky. Pedestrian areas connect boutiques and offices to subway, elevated rail and GLR system.

- The El Station, which was designed to be the center of the nexus zone ...  Being laid aside. Yet the forest behind the Stock Exchange, Commercial Chamber and Metropolitan Academy, being the largest and the only primordial forest, has been a good place for citizens to have a rest...

- The Service zone near the exposition hall have been seeing the development of the city's commercials and construction. Now it has become a new business area. Not far from it is the Autumn Stone Park and the Avenue of Autumn Stone Gardens.

- The edge of the Airport. It's no longer a wild suburb after the installation of the Great Museum and the Medical Institution.

- the Avenue of Autumn Stone Gardens (I should connect it to the 2 adjacent avenues)

- The forest and Central Park near the academy, surrounded by commercial districts and high-rise residences.

- The Sunset Sky commercial zone is aligned with the road and high-railway, until the roundabout before the City Hall. From where the Avenue of End of Summer and High Street of Crescent Luna conjoint. The plazas around the Hall and commercial area are open to public, therefore visitors can have a walk from boutiques until the Hall, and take an after-lunch tea and wait the sunset in a tea house.

- Municipal Police Department is at the end of the Avenue of Sunset Sky.

- The skyline of the Streets of Autumn Stone Gardens has been occupied by high density residences. They come from different classes but I'd like to make a mixture of different peoples. (And brown box XD although I confirm that all dependencies are prepared)

- Let's come back to the origin of the city... The two commercial galleries of diamond shape. I call it the Plaza of Stars, surrounded by w2w zones.

- Another, with a more classical street, is called Lakeside Gallery.

- Outskirt of these 2 diamonds are occupied by high density residences. (That's why my traffic is congealed severely...)

- Mid and High revenue families could be found even in the south town that's developed from low income families. Gardens, of course.

- The commercial zones beside the Airport of Edge of Clouds is the last zone that designed, with a long underground gallery.

- North of which is the greatest low cost residential project carried by the Municipality. It's near the zoo and beside the Autumn Stone Gardens. The lake was designed to reserve water but it has also become a good place for leisures, with some good restaurants and facilities.

- The roundabout, right of which is Avenue of End of Summer and up of which is the Street of Crescent Luna.

- At last, the journey ends up before this station - which is not so big.

### Append

At last, this is my first urban project. Bienvenue au Aenopolis.

### Nanopolis

This is a small city particularly built to test FLUPs and GLR networks. The city style is still a mixture.

That first update was pretty good for what was mostly vanilla maxis. Some good photoshoping in there too, helps to soften up the images.
