Rooleyson April 2010 Update: Report from the City Hall

2v3o2ys.jpg

Welcome to the April 2010 update! The city of Rooleyson, or should we say the metropolis of Rooleyson, has reached a big milestone of 1 000 000 population! It's a big milestone for the city as it continues to grow. Some big new buildings have been built around the city as well as part of the celebration of this massive population milestone. Rooleyson is now the capital of the country of Roowana, and now has the Roawanian Parliament House. With the population increasing, development has continued in the southern suburbs, focusing on the central south east suburbs. Demand for services has also increased along with this, and education services have increased with a new southside college and the University of Rooleyson built, along with new schools. A new industrial area is also being built on from the industries in the Airport District, creating a new area called the Eastern Industrial District. Parking lots have also been created around the city and suburbs to handle the population increase as well.

1 000 000 Population Buildings

With the population now reaching 1 000 000, the city has been named the capital of Roowana and has achieved being able to build the Roowanian Parliament House. The Rooleyson Courts Building has also been built along with this. Both buildings are located in the Greenwood area in the CBD.

Education Upgrade

With the increasing population and the booming development in the southern suburbs, there has been an increase in education facilities. The University of Rooleyson (UR) has been built along the Kanga Riverfront in the southern suburbs and contains tennis courts, a swimming pool and a church. The Southside College has also been built, which contains all year levels and as well as having tennis courts and a swimming pool, also has an oval. A new high school has also been built on Kathine Hill.

They Paved Paradise To Put Up A Parking Lot

The increase in the population means more cars on the road, which will need places to park. To solve this problem, the council has built several parking lots throughout the CBD and around the suburbs where there are shops. They built the parking lots ontop of many empty plazas throughout the city, mainly around the backstreets and under the overpasses at the RHN CBD interchange. Parking lots have also been a major concept in designing the shopping areas for the southern suburbs.

I quite like how you've mixed in old and new buildings. The new schools look nice.

That last shot of the skyline is fantastic.  This is the best Cities XL CJ yet.  I look forward to your next update!

That last shot is the best shot I have seen yet from CXL. It strongly reminds me of Sydney - the inner suburbs are quite hilly, and have great views of the CBD.

Good job, and keep it up!

@ Simcitymaster101 - I'm using one of the maps on the limited edition, exclusive to that edition.
@ ShultzCity - That area the picture is taken in actually kind of resembles Brisbane a bit, mainly further downstream, with the suburbs of Norman Park and Belmont on the south side and the airport on the north.
