Further WorldBuilding

 

I'm going to use this entry as a way to explain some things and add a little more depth to some of the districts of the city.

The name "Bronzo City" comes from settlers from Italy who founded the town after finding an unusual amount of bronze ore north of their camp. The mines that helped grow the city are now covered by pavement and skyscrapers but you can still find bronze built into the buildings as decoration.

Since West Midtown was supposed to be the slums district I added some Goofyguytpa w2ws to make it more rundown.

Palais Plaza is the biggest plaza within the city and consists of an underground shopping mall.

The Retail district (Inspired by old Downtown LA) is the shopping capitol of the city with high end fashion to classy jazz clubs at the bottom floors of the area's offices. Even though its not the fullest its been after Vu Tower and Radio City Music Hall broke up the district the tram and tourists coming from shows have given store owners the customers they needed.

Earlier I made the Hotel Boom post which I want to explain a little more. In my home of NYC there is an epidemic, Not a virus but the plague of condo conversions; The Waldorf Astoria, 70 Pine, One Wall Street, Barclay Vesey Building, and even The Woolworth Building are being gutted to be turned into condos. While its not the same thing I made that CJ post to reflect it since its shameful what these companies are doing some of the first and beautiful skyscrapers.

Nice work. I really liked some of the background as well - always wondered where the name "Bronzo" came from ;)

Good job keeping the architecture consistent and I like how that cliff overlooks the city in the last image.

Nice update.  I'm liking this history that comes with each city.  The W2W buildings do much for the atmosphere; I'm particularly drawn to the old-style movie theater near Palais Plaza.

50th´s look as developers of SC4 have overseen, NDEX giving a such so fime extension of the deafault building set. Time will surrounder this era of building history, so it will be trapped, making it all historic this town will survive time, unless the purpose is reconsidered only time related development in certain area we can see forward, well done !
