A Tour of the capital, Millbrook

Today I want to show you the city of Millbrook, capital of Corsania. The entire tile has now been filled, although I plan to do something with some of the terraces. You can see the outer parts of the city have attracted significant investments from people wanting to move to the new planet.

Note: it appears the grid was not turned off, but luckily it’s not too noticeable…

We start our tour of the new developments down by the water, where a number of residential, and some commercial buildings have been constructed. The beach has been left for the residents to relax on. A number of parks and plazas have also been constructed around the city.

More apartments have been constructed on the upper levels of the terrace. A small industrial area has been built here, around the elevated metro system entrance.

Back by the coast on the other side, a large commercial area has been built on partially reclaimed land. There are some more parks on this side of the city, as well as more homes further up the hill.

There are a number of large buildings here, housing many people and offices.

A spring up in the mountains has been redirected through some canals to form some small lakes, on top and below the terraces. The hydroelectric power provides much of the energy for the city.
Dam.jpg
 
Behind the dam, a number of large office buildings have opened. They get excellent views over the water and the government district.

The government district is in the centre of the city. The buildings in this area are lower than other parts of the city.

To conclude the tour, a view down the city.

The story will continue in the next update, hopefully coming over the next few days. I have been working on some of the plot details, and things should be able to progress now.

It looks like you worked hard with this city, you must be very proud of your city, other than that I don´t have any comments.

Looks really good. Especially the mosaic looks very cool. Besides me thinking that the blue building in the 2nd picture looks a bit out of place in this city (to modern?), this city is just fantastic. I really like the idea with the canals and the dam. Keep the good work up.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

@ iGod Some of the buildings look a bit strange. Almost all the buildings have grown (including those two blueish ones by the canal - which looks quite nice I thought), so a few look out of place. I think I might need to do some demolition...
@ ROFLyoshi I like canals in cities too, although they can be a bit difficult to build at times. This one was actually built because I hadn't yet started the industrial area up the top, and I was considering various sources of power. Why not hydroelectric? So I did.

Thanks. I wanted to try and put quite a few parks around the portal and government buildings, especially the main one in the middle as a sort of centre piece.
