Ionica - Avalon Evolution
Avalon Evolution
It's my 30th entry, yay!
As ideas and technology change so does the city. The city planners of Ionica have recently taken on the daunting task of improving and repairing Avalon's roads, parks, and rails. This has caused large disruptions in traffic in some of Avalon's busiest areas. However, the renovation has been welcomed by most citizens as the effects of the changes have already had a noticeable positive effect on the lifestyle of Avalon residents.
The pictures below show the changes around the Avalon Central Terminal and Avalon park. The first picture is from 2058 C.E., the second is from 2203 C.E., and the third is from 2238 C.E., the present time in Ionica.
One of the biggest and most necessary changes was to add elevated roads to pass over the rails and to add elevated rails to pass over the roads so that traffic could flow much more easily.
As long as business keeps booming the skyscrapers will keep growing.
Avalon park has had a complete make over and is now four times the size it originally was. It was expanded to incorporate Stone Henge and castle walls imported from Camelot. The park now features many stalls where visitors can buy snack or souvenirs.
The heart of Avalon has also experienced drastic changes with whole skyscrapers being destroyed, and in some cases re-located.
The next series of images just show off the new and improved areas. Enjoy.

blunder: I love, love, love how you did the canal! Having it on a sunken level with the roads overpassing and the decorative retaining walls is an excellent idea.
Thanks blunder, I just recently started experimenting with sunken levels, glad it turned out well.

SimCoug: I agree with blunder - those canals really stand out. I can't remember the name of the creator of those vertical walls (from a Japanese site, I think) but you used them to great effect. And the night shots are stunning - so many colors! Great work.
Thanks SimCoug. Yeah the walls are from a Japanese site, can't remember which. I think Simul8ter8 was the one who showed them to me. I'll have to track them down again.
