Since Harbourtown is a very old city, the change of the citys appearance is a process which is taking place nearly every day. When people walk around the city, they always realise that some buildings are missing and new ones are appearing. (Some refer to it as the "Plop-Phenomenon"). But most changes take place over a long periode of time. Like the renovation of the old "Josh-Homme-Airport". It was first build in 1938 as a military and, to a small extend, public airport. In 1958 the business got taken over by the new founded company "JoHoPort AG" it got extended to coop with the number of passengers traveling through this airport. In 2007, the number of passengers traveling through this airport was 53 million passengers and demand still rising.  Therefore the "JoHoPort AG" decided to extend the airport once more and give it a total new look. The two terminals were designed by different architects so they both looked different to each other. This was to show the multicultural way of life lived by many "Harbourtownians" and to give passengers a bit eye candy whilst waiting at the Airport. 

But thats not the only major building project taking place in Harbourtown. There is, for example, the new "Autobahn 84" which is going to connect "Lambeth" and "Tottenville" with the "A93" and "Mosside Park" and should therefore help the tourism industry to grow even bigger.

Also "Briarsfield" gets a major renovation. Old, abandoned buildings get dmeolished to make place for new and hopefully clean industry.

This is the construction side of Terminal 2. They got rebuild one after another. Once Terminal 2 was finished, they rebuild Terminal 1.

And this is what it looks like today. In actual fact, only the Terminals got renovated, the actual layout of the runways remained the same.

This is a stretch of the "A84", under construction near "Queens Park"

The new construction side in Briarsfield. You can still se some of the remaining walls of some of the old heavy industry buildings. Close to the "Candid Tunnel" they bury fibre glas cables to attract the high tech industry.

The last one of the "Zavi Towers" being build to provide the middle class with flats near the city centre.

Near "Montag Stadium" the "Georgetown Line" gets extended. For the moment just to "Queens Park High Street", and later probably to "Residence" and "Mosside Park".

Well, thats it for now. Comments are, as per usual, appreciated and welcome

Hope you  enjoy this little update.

it looks like a very well planned out city, though it looks as though you might have some commute or desirability problems

@Knapp14: (very germanish name there) Ye, sometimes I lay out new quaters and suddently old ones get abandoned even if they are closer to the center and the jobs. And then, after a while the whole process turns around and they move back into the center. I gave up on trying to solve this problem. Well, sort of. But as long as the city still grows I am kinda ok with it. But maybe you could give me some advice?

@rusty_777: what's the cheers for mate?
