The Civic Heart of the Dornelles...

Rotten to the core...

Situated between the 4 major commerical centers (Addiesburg, The Approaches, Theodore, and Jamestown), the city was planned as a compromise to centralize the government.

In truth, Capital Centre is a mess.  So many transit systems pass traffic straight through the city, there is hardly space for the development which is needed.

And yet, even so, when the Dornelles bid for international sporting spectacles, they dug out some precious space to place an Olympic Park within walking distance of the Congress Hall.

Despite a decent population of 250,000, the business and culture of Capital Centre is rather sterile and manufactured.  Most "citizens" of the capital merely sleep here, while they work and play elsewhere.

In the far northeast corner of the city limits is a small harbor, providing a limited industrial output from a city which pretends at many things.

I hate this city.  I have reset it twice, and it never comes out that way I want.  I blame the massive number of transit systems that criss cross it between the much larger cities in every direction.  I buried some of the rails and freeways in tunnels in an effort to clean it up, but it turned into a choking maze of highrises, when I would prefer something more pristine and park-like.

The Olympic park was a nice inclusion, and far nicer to look at then the senator mansions it replaced.

The biggest problem is the city is medium size city.  If it was a large one, I think I could space it out to my desired intent.  But alas, everyone wants to be around all the nice civic structures, and in result, they muddled the beauty of the capital.

UPDATE November 2022:

I took a lawnmower to the skyscrappers and restored a great deal of parkland around the government building.

I did it slowly enough, I didn't see major penalties to population levels.

So much cleaner.
