1ST city, Manhattan area... Enjoy and feel free to comment.

So let`s go for what you came to see: My Virtual City. I downloaded several city maps here, one was the are that I live Curitiba, but between several good maps (like Seattle map) I chose a NY city MAP by: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/5089-new-york-city-ny/

First Pictures: As usual in my game pattern I always place civic buildings 1st, then I think the way that traffic will move and construct big avenues in that sense. Ps. Tribute to the acclaimed best New York Mayor ever: David Dinkins

Then, by coincidence, the NAM 37 was released then, like a child, I went to use my First time NAM. Of course I needed to watch couple hours of videos explaining how to use NAM and some how to construct intersections and viaducts, the two that most helped me was:

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJoa7KTP1Tg&list=LLgTrls2bdo2NDEw8gZt8Dvw&index=10&t=1014s

2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhlOPOIbtMM&list=LLgTrls2bdo2NDEw8gZt8Dvw&index=9&t=495s

So I did prepare terrain for a 10 lane road, took me like 4 hours to construct including watching videos. Tip: if you are new at NAM like me, be patient and pay attention at the buttons clicked in the videos.

So, my 10 lanes road with road width transitions and projected to have 3 double rails under (starting in the tunnel at botton of the image and finishing at rails intersection.

So after all that Story that tested your patience, following pictures of my starting city. Called "starting city" the moment that I expend the biggest amount that I can to construct a City, for this one was 350K. PS. I destroyed the 10 lane road to build one in proportion with the size of my city (4 lanes). Then I build the MIS, by the picture you can see that I not used curved MIS curved roads, little pardon here, 1st time using. In future, when I will substitute that 4 lanes for a 10 lanes, I promess that I will do a pretty one. That one cost me couple hours.

After the road built, I stretched the industrial/agricultural area for the other side of the Hudson using rails, it appears that hold nice my commuting time with buses network. PS. A lot of beautiful farms down there, now I understand why so many post of small cities, farm cities and small neighborhood , is so much beautiful than big commercial areas...
