Hello everyone! Today we're going high definition...can you guess where?

That's right! We're going to Vesper Bay, a city located on the west coast of Cathnoquey. Here :

Anyway! Let's take a tour at the city we're going to spend the next few entries on.

Vesper Bay is a middle-sized city, with approximately 170.000 residents in the city proper.

Vesper Bay features a tram line which for the most part has its own track or at least its own lane.

It is mostly known for its University, one of the few institutions really working well in town.

There are quite a few office buildings in Vesper Bay. The biggest is bound to be the Everdawn Tower, behind these two buildings.

The city is actually quite hilly, and a lot of housing is of the traditional north Cathnoquey style - shifting away from the terraced houses common in Westport.

Many of the buildings in Vesper Bay date from quite some time ago now. Many of the districts are in need of refurbishment. The town is not usually very rich, and unemployment is very high.

image.png

Vesper Bay has its own airport, which handles the majority of the local air traffic.

Vesper Bay Airport has a whooping four runways! However, only one of them really is used by the biggest jets, while the one that crosses all the other ones is reserved to general aviation traffic.

image.png

Vesper Bay is built in a grid-like fashion, though there are many grid plans across the city.

Outside town, farmlands and meadows roll over the hills...

Vesper Bay features a good highway network, mostly made up of the A4 to the north and southwest, and the P1 and P6 roadways to the west and southeast.

image.png

Not all of these roadways are motorways, however - even the P4 is cut in half at some point, though there are plans to finally link up both parts of the route.

image.png

Other roads out of the city are much quieter, of course.

image.png

The city is at the heart of the Wheat Belt, and is also a big producer of dairy products and timber.

And that's it for today! Cool new buildings, trams, trains, and a lot of other stuff await! Hope you enjoyed this quick tour and well, see you next time :))

I don't follow C:S, not that it's a bad game or anything, but I just don't have enough spare time in my life to risk getting addicted to yet another video game :D
But I wanted to commend you on your excellent bonus content. The newspaper and regional map both look like they were professionally made.

Thank you :) I try to maintain a high level of quality when it comes to the extra content, especially the maps, but mostly I put them for context since it's more than just showing a few pretty pictures to me. It is a very addictive game though, I easily can sink down hours, and since playstyles range from minmaxing to unlocking all the buildings to seeing how much citizens you can cram to making blogs about lifelike cities to anything really it's very easy for anyone just a tiny bit interested in city builders to get engrossed and never really come out of it :P
