13. The City of Kamulan (10 year update)
@All This has been 10 years since the last update so no replies from me, sorry
Today's update will cover Kamulan, 10km away from Kebonagung and 14km away from Medang. Been quite a long time since I haven't updated, didn't it? 10 years!
Last update was in 2014! Who could've guessed! Sadly no more (new) updates are possible - while I have the hard drive containing the town, I haven't transferred all plugins (dependencies especially!) meaning brown boxes here and there. This is just something I found on my Imgur, 10 years sitting around right there sitting dust.
This update covers the district of Kamulan, a high tech industrial hub in the regency of Medang and Kamulan.
Like many Indonesian towns, development in Kamulan is centered around the towns' "Alun-Alun" or Great Central Park and all the businesses sprouted around that center!
Somewhere in Kebonagung, the highway transitions into a protected two lane avenue. A freight rail hub creates an attractive investment destination for industries, here we can see high tech industries dominating! Major industries include a couple of contract cosmetics manufacturer, a processed food manufacturer, a semiconductor packaging plant, and warehouse complexes belonging to local e-commerce startups!
Continued!
The residents here notably have more income due to their employment in high tech industries, of course aided by generously sized lot sizes and none of the smog that tends to settle at the bottom of narrow enclosed valleys!
Road heading east from Kamulan towards a neighboring (and predominantly rural) subdistrict of Wadasan, a cookie cutter housing development and a grey tower block has been built in quick time to satisfy housing needs for workers moving in!
The pace of industrial development is clearly visible and notice the modern planning of the area compared to Medang! Kamulan was established earlier as the seat of the regency, but population initially grew faster in Medang and South Medang due to the fisheries sector and the port and the regents' seat moved there at some point in time. None of this is visible though, as all remnant of history has been demolished (except for the former regents' house, now a lowly district office for the area!)
Less fortunate sims are pushed out into the hills. The city hasn't quite kept up with growth so these Sims do not have water service, but for the cheap cost of land they can build decently large homes relative to their salary.
Universitas Muhammadiyah Medang Kamulan, the creme de la creme driving high tech talent. Students come here and (usually) do not find a reason to move back home!
