A more comprehensive look at the CBD. It's been updated slightly since my first post, but I've tried to vary my photos. Please, vote it up if you like it or press the +1 and leave any comments, positive or negative. - Oh and just to highlight my awesomeness, all large buildings in the CBD have grown except for the Berlin Radio Tower, the Jin Guang Centre and the Columbia Seafirst Centre.

Next I'll post some pictures of my favourite rural areas.

The Leeds CBD contains a number of very large buildings.

The statue of Francis Javier greets the thousand of commuters everyday that make the trip into the CBD via the Duke's Expressway.

CBD-Hotel.jpg

Many of Leeds' richest tourists stay at the Loidis Hotel and shop at the nearby boutiques.

Leeds is famous for its nightlife.

CBD-Walkway.jpg

Lots of people living within the CBD go for a morning jog along the walkway, or have a coffee at a cafe and admire the views of the water through the trees.

The Leeds CBD sits on the Eastern part of Port Wales, commonly referred to simply as Leeds Harbour.

Thank you again for your time spent reading my journal.

Those are very nice pictures. You have a good downtown area. I think that more open space would be better for the sims, but I have the same problem and know it can be hard to dial back the development.

Yeah, I've been considering doing that around the CBD but never get round to it. Thanks for the feedback :)

That's a nicely developed CBD you've got going on but holy sh*t, what's up with the steep slope in the third picture? You might want to reconsider that, though I can imagine it's great for Leeds car business :golly:

I really like this downtown area and also like the trees along the coastlines they can be so useful sometimes! Looks like you've also done well with the EL rail coming into the city.

That's some serious development in your CBD, and I like the variety of high-rises. I do think that the skyline could use a little more variety (low, medium, and high-rises) just to add some nuance. Still, it's a nice accomplishment, and the trees along the shorelines are a very nice touch.

Thanks, personally I don't like the idea of having to many smaller buildings in the skyline, its my slight OCD (not real OCD) kicking in, it just doesn't look right, although I have tried to put some 1x1 medium density buildings along the roads.

I'm happy you noticed the trees aswell, it's a theme I've implemented all around my region which you can see in my Regional Overview post <-- Cross promotion ;)
