How to...#2: Developing ugly industrial areas
Well, because of job problems (I have them all the time....literally) I decided to develop another industrial area in one of my cities.
Step 1: Search a good place

Nice one, along those major road and the rail line, some trees for a good start for the high tech industry I need.
Step 2: Build the traffic grid

Yeah, should be ok, I guess. Won't be a huge area, so minor streets are ok, but maybe you should use some of the modded avenues like Ave 4 and so on. Also buid some stations.
Step 3: Civics

Fire departments and a parking lot in this case. You also ahould add some parks.
Step 4: Build some sexy bus stops. These mates are kinda important.

Step 5. Zone!

Note that I'm leaving space between the woods and the zones.
Step 6. Profit!

i use the mod if anyone's asking. It makes the Maxis lots way better and brings also walls and filler lots (which I forgot to download for HI, so there are these ugly empty spaces between the major buildings.
Step 7: Re-grow trees, fill the empty spaces

Use some deciduous trees too.
Step 8: "MMP schadet nie"

Finally and only additional, step 9: Anger about the mechanics to not use the new grown, perfect, hogh wealth industrial area.

That's it for today, have a nice evening!
