MamaLuigi945: Thank you for commenting and rating.

Ace of Hearts: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

Kakado_to_save: It only took two and a half years but I got you to Jennai in the end.

InvaderNat: Thanks, I've wanted to do that location for a long time and I'm really pleased with how that worked out.

Sirron Kcuhc: Thanks!

Forthwall: Thank you!

titanicbuff: Thanks. I really like those breakwater walls and they suit Jennai quite well, I think.

RepublicMaster: Well, it's coming along slowly. It's taken me two years to start Jennai but hopefully it won't take that long to do some of the centre of it at least.

MilitantRadical: Sorry about the loading times, I will write a note in future. I'm glad you did see it in the end though!

KonstantinII: The arena is by Davidluart I think, and I don't know if it's available any more. Might be worth asking in the Find It Here thread.

Hazani Pratama: Thank you!

Huston: Thanks. Your nightshots are always really bold and I would love it if mine were even half as good. It was very hard selecting the right buildings for the (fully functioning!) harbour.

Sylvio Jorge: Thank you very much for the comment. I haven't done a waterfront CBD for three years now and it was absolutely horrendous then, so I'm glad to hear that this one is marginally better!

Welcome back to Jennai, a harbour city in an eponymous bay in southern Cattala. The heartland of Cattalian resurgence, its rise as a regional economic hub is the defining highlight of the country's post-war revival and economic boom. The parliament is devolved and controls provincial matters, led by the regional government.

Jennai Harbour is the second-busiest station in the city, serving the north, the south coast and the east. Built in the early 20th century, it includes an extensive park area known as Harbour Park that still remains today, despite encroaching development.

But obviously Jennai, as we have seen previously, extends far beyond the business centre. Porthis is a suburb to the north-west of the harbour and I'm currently developing it as a commuter town. In the past I've shown you the imperial suburbs of Celeste and the traditional sprawl of Calora. This preview may give you an idea of the style I'm hoping to create in Porthis.

Please do comment and let me know what you think about Jennai and Cattala as a whole. Your input is very important to me. I hope you have all had a lovely Easter and we'll be back soon!

Nah, no need to worry about the loading times. It was just my internet being slow, the pic took only a few seconds to load but it was enough to have me momentarily believe there was only one pic in your last entry.

 

Anyway, nice update, just the kind of entry i was in the mood for on such a beautiful day.

 

I think your retaining wall boardwalk needs some stairs for pedestrians to be able to get down to the docks without having to do some massive detour.

Very beautiful work, just looking at your urban scenes are very nice, and the parks you make just seem to complement them :)

 

And I see the Beehive :P Nice!

The city looks wonderful and the buildings fit so perfect where they are placed. I just wonder if they are plopped or you actually wait until the right building spawns at the right place?

The third picture is amazing. Where did you get that tan wall that separates the marina from the rest of the city?
