Nyhaven, Lower Columbia (AIN)

As the first to view and comment , I must say those images are incredible . You did one heck of a job . 5/5 

Ditto Raynev1, marvelous! I would love to see some greenery around the waterfront edge, but hey, can't have everything right?

Very, Very nice.  The city has a appealing mix of European and North American city planning. I've been playing this game since the release, but I still fell like a beginner after seeing this Kudos from Copenhagen.     

   

Beautiful city!  Thanks for share  

Great work. For the four main buildings (each end of the large park), I know one, St Pauls, what are the names of the other 3? Keep up the amazing work!

Like I said before, Kendall is amazing! I see AF's embassy! wooo  

Now bring on thos Nyhaven gardens! 

I wouldn't fancy taking my dinghy out from the marina when there is a container ship in, but then again, I don't have a dinghy. Very impressive entry  

Wow. These are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

No matter how many years go, Nyhaven keeps making jaws drop since 7 or 8 years already!

Now that is one busy city! Excellent work!

Grand city layout,  versaille like size estate, chateau garde awesome; only the grand canal missing  !  Container terminal as commented a bit out of place. Monumental BAT folder, avoiding the to many big skyscraper´s. RHW elevated might work better with some underground or sunken sections to flat it out, well done !

WHOA. I didn't know we could post such huge mosaics !!! Kudos. And the city feels really good, I mean, plausible. (Although the smaller houses neighbourhood suffers a bit too much from Griditis Syndrome for me, however much I love trees and MattB houses...:-)))) But that park with the diagonal paths opening like a fan, in pict : ooooh ! You made it or it came ready-made ? Any which way, oooh:-)))

Thanks, @michae95l! The palace is Drottningholm Palace by Mrqs, the parliament house is the Hungarian Parliament Building by yoder7562, and the courthouse is the Palais du Luxembourg by xannepan.

Thanks, @kschmidt! I know the seaport is awkwardly close to the city center, and that's partly due to it being in a neighboring city (thus limiting my perspective on where to place it), but I like to think that that part of town was redeveloped from slums to the current port in the 1960s. Whether you think that's an improvement or not is your call, of course. The highway, meanwhile, is elevated due to space constraints; a sunken RHW in that area would have taken up much more space, and I wanted as narrow a right of way as I could manage. Nevertheless, I appreciate your detailed thoughts!

Thank you, @tariely! My justification for the grid-heavy suburb you mentioned is that it was built in the early part of the 20th century, before suburb planners stopped using grids so much. It wasn't until around the 1950s (at least in North America) that city planners started laying out suburbs in more free-form designs. As for the palace grounds (the park you mentioned), that is one of my custom creations. Due to its size (24x24 in total), I had to split it into three lots to get it the way I wanted it.

Argh ! That's when I deeply regret not being a batlotter !!! :-)))
