Highway to Nowhere

389 Views

I know I'm might be updating this city journal far too often, but at this point I generally have a lot of time on my hands, and furthermore, these are quite short updates - a format I prefer over the typical entries with a dozen pictures.

Once again, I bring you two mosaics - I really enjoy making them. Beware, though, one of them is 14 MB... Imgur even made me do a CAPTCHA to ensure I was human, and then I couldn't upload it anyway. It currently resides on my personal website, which might go down sometime in the future, so please inform me if that happens. :-)

As always, click for full size.

1. Highway to Nowhere (5079 x 4530)

As I planned for the city to get more dense the further it gets from the suburbs, I laid down a new, sunken RHW-6C highway, but I've actually zoned industrial (manufacturing & high tech) around it, as you can see at the bottom of the picture. On the one hand, I think the highway walls fit very well with the industrial area, but on the other hand, I don't want high density closer to the suburbs - so, then, where? What a dilemma...

2. Addition to the Suburbs (2968 x 1489)

To fill the space between the low-density suburban area and the interchange, I created this organic part of the suburbs, which I think looks quite nice. Ignore the missing road connection, for now... :-)

___________________________

Again, not a huge update, but hopefully with some nice pictures to look at. If you've got any suggestions as to where to zone high-density and industrial, please let me know!

Thanks for tuning in!

A only draw I can say about this the city is it´s relative squareness wich is  crying for some more use of fractional angle infrastrucfture. Some bigger recreational and parks would make it more pleasant !
