Welcome back! This definitely is a whole "low density entry", but in a city that can be said complete I think they cannot miss!

FEEDBACK CORNER

gviper very nice!

slickbg56 Great stuff! That port is very impressive.

Carnivorus Very nice and neatly planned harbor :) I like your idea of controlling the area with a tower. Will definitely come back for further updates :) Good Work!

Thanks a lot for all the feedbacks guys! Seems like you're enjoying this :)

First of all I want to share with you a shot that comprehends all the work done so far. It's a wide view of the whole Hellfire Bay by which you can see not only the already visited Victoria Harbor and the subject of this entry but also a bit more that will be the topic of the next couple of chapters.

BRIGHTVALE

But the main argument for this journal it's the district that occupies the whole western part of Hellfire Peninsula, precisely the first of three that looks at the seaport bay. This certainly is the most prestigious, distinguished by the fact that is entirely characterized by low density buildings, except for some. The shape of the roads has three long east-west arteries, with the closest to the sea that is a tree-lined large road.

EAST SIDE & TOWN CENTER

The eastern part of the district is characterized in particular by the Victoria Harbor north gate, much smaller in size than than the south due to the fact that not having highways in the vicinity is much less used, although of equal importance.

A bit further to the west there is the highrise Four Seasons Hotel, located near the second tunnel that connects Brightvale to the seaport, the exit point.

The railway overpass you see in the image above leads directly to the train station that connects Brightvale not only to the port, of course, but also to nearby neighborhoods and especially the distant city center.

In the immediate vicinity of the station is the sports complex, that serves virtually the entire bay thanks to the quick connection by inner city train lines.

Just to the south there is also the town center, that features a large park, a prominent church and the Department of Social Services, that you can recognize since it was the location for the main scenes of a very famous movie!

WEST SIDE & MAGNOLIA FARMLANDS

The beginning of the western part of the district roughly is at the height of the Brightvale Civic Center, a real pole of attraction with exhibitions, concerts and theater shows.

Continuing in the same direction then you get to the point where the three main roads turn south and the houses give way to stores, malls and offices of small businesses companies, primarily engaged in the distribution of what's produced in the surrounding plain.

This area is called Magnolia and thanks to the arc traced by the high mountains around has an ideal microclimate for crops.

The large factory with giant silos seen on the right in the picture below is the one that produces cereals for the entire region!

The western end of the district is the one through which it is connected to the surrounding areas, and essentially is an extended business area.
