This is my first City journal, I always enjoyed reading these so now it's my turn to try to write one

This city was built a long time ago, with the mac version of Sc4 (rubbish), now I use a ported windows version (works way better) and I've reloaded this city as I always used to like it.

Now I study Architecture, also learn how to develop cities and I wanted to create a new more vibrant city.

Right now the area looks like this

the region is a river, it's not finished yet, building the region is the most time consuming I think...:

The Main City Berkeloo -berk is a tree, loo is used in some dutch (I'm from Holland) cities-

it's a city that I let develop by slowely growing, no strict building schemes we're used, though some of the quarters we're redeveloped to make place for taller buildings and new public transportation. :

Rechtsdorp the governing city of the country just like the hague in the netherlands, it's where the government seats but it isn't the capital.

that's why I chose for a strict scheme and a simple but wide set-up.

chaoton is a small town, it"s developing around a small lake I made this city to test the windos port of the game

here's the concept for the city: residential area's are inside the avenue ring, commercial areas outside, theres also a small old center to the west (typically dutch with straight streets)

Mistdorp is the industrial town, it's dirty and was just build to provide jobs and power back in the old days when berkeloo was just a small starting town

I'm really looking forward at improving the situation in berkeloo and trying to keep chaotown a nice small town

also some newer cities will arise very soon.

Gozer, how much coal power plants do you need?

I think it is interesting that you get so much highrises in berkeloo with only two connceting cities. How much jobs and residents do you have?

everyone thanks for your comments!
haha isgoed, Mistdorp was built to be a dirty industrial area indeed, the coal powerplants also used to power berkeloo in the beginning. I also like the use of coal powerplants.. i just don't know why, it's cheap and ugly but it has something realistic about it. I think that if I'd start a new region now I'd try a different power source
but mistdorp is also the reason why Berkeloo grew so big, in the start berkeloo didn't even have industry, but with mistdorp right next to it there where plenty of jobs, that's how berkeloo got big so quickly. I'm not really working in mistdorp anymore, it's just left the way it is for a long time and it has always worked. but who knows it might just get fixed soon.

berkeloo has around 280 000 residents, 150 000 office jobs and 30 000 industrial jobs which isn't a lot, but its got room to grow
rechtsdorp is even bigger with 311 residents, but it only has 120 000 office jobs and 12 000 industrial jobs so you could actually say that berkeloo isn't the most important city in the region anymore, but it sure has a lot more potential than rechtsdorp which has almost zero room left for changes...
