Newville Concepts
I built the city with a few concepts in mind:
- California-style development - Newville is a North American city.
- Pre-war buildings almost always - There's a handful of contemporary designs and they're there for the backstory
. Huge areas are designated historical buildings. - Minimal freeways and rail - Subways and buses are present however.
- "Elegant density" - To create a city that is dense at certain areas yet maximize the aesthetic appeal of the spaces in between.
- Redevelopment - Nothing stays the same for too long.
Quick Newville Facts
Population - Currently 185,000, 160,000 commercial jobs, 800 industrial jobs.
Geography - Flat coastal peninsula surrounded by 3 outer islands comprised of Gateway Island, Tetons, and Ile Bernie.
Neighborhoods established before the Y24 Act: Old Town Newville, Newville Beach, Newville Circle, Civic Center, Downtown Newville, Seasort, Commerce Center, Scholar Square, Newville Heights, Newville Hills, Pierpoint and Gateway Island. Metromall Peninsula was the only new neighborhood until current era.
Neighborhoods today: Middleville, Superblock, Copurino, Rockefeller Tomb, Roradania, Tetons, Westile, Pier Addition, Mansard Peninsula, Ile Bernie.
After the ban on contemporary buildings were imposed, developments did not stop.
The first skyscraper of this type, the Newville Life Insurance Building, freely adopted from Art Deco masters to create an imposing iconic building.
Gateway Island also saw its first commercial building rise up. Soon, the area around the Newklyn Bridge will be packed with tall buildings.
The other significant development is the gradual elimination of industrial areas around the Metromall and the construction of the now-known as "Newville-type" condos and commercial buildings.
