Picking up from our last entry - Eden Project has been completed within the industrial area in Newgrounds. Few years have passed since then, and there has been new developments. 

Below is the overview of Alpine City. The flat land at Newgrounds is steadily being filled up.

The road layout at Newgrounds has not been changed much. A large ring road works as a boundary of the industrial zone at the center. A lot of greenery has been provided as buffer between industrial and residential zone.

A central spine cuts through the industrial area due to the cable car route. It happens that the green space is ideal to separate buildings and reduce pollution. 

Below is another angle - viewed from the southern highway. 

A new addition to Newgrounds' skyline - the University of Alpine City. It is currently the tallest building in town. It take cares of higher education demands of the entire city. It also boosted the high technology sector in the industry zone. 

You can also see a tram running - Alpine City has just unlocked another mode of public transport. More on that later. 

The University consisted of 3 towers and a large podium. It has a rather futuristic design - which suits well with the high tech industry area around it and the Eden Project across the cable car line.

There are a lot of modern buildings newly built at the indsutrial area. Below are some examples around the Eden Project. 

The residential area around Newgrounds industrial zone has grown considerably as well.

The central cable car line cuts through the industry zone, and has a stop at the end. Citizens can reach the Newgrounds train station by taking the cable car. 

Due to the increasing population of Newgrounds, it is predicted that the cable car's capacity will reach maximum in near future. An alternative mode of transportation is needed.

After some study, it was decided to build a tram system to serve Newgrounds, and it has to be integrated well with the existing railroad and cable car system.

A tram depot is built within the industrial zone - with the whole ring avenue added with tram tracks. The tram track also extended to Newgrounds train station to divert some passenger from using the cable car.

Below shows the extent of tram system at Newgrounds, shown in green color. 

The new University tower at Newgrounds reaches the height limit. Any taller and it will become visible from the old town. It is quite visible already when viewed from Castle Peak.

Newgrounds is getting a lot more population. The once dark, empty land is being converted into a vibrant urban landscape. Night light grows so strong that it outshines the old town. 

This is a night view of the Newgrounds Amusement Park.

Let's visit the old town as well while we are enjoying the night view - there are no major changes in the old town so far. 

With Newgrounds soon being fully developed, the city council now begins to develope new city expansion schemes. We will see more of it in the upcoming entries.
