Middletown recently declined to accept any more of Industria's trash. The deal had been arranged years ago: Industria sells Middleton power, and Middleton takes Industria's trash. Middleton, however, found that their trash heap was full: I think they want to clear it out so that the smell doesn't float over to the new stadium. So Industria said, nevermind the environment, we'll just burn it! (Space is tight.) They decided to put an incinerator next to the three power plants already in operation. Now they...

Places of interest

By Beekysky,

The overall layout of Industriatown is pretty simple, residents on one side, commercial surrounding them, industry on the other side. Pollution is high, traffic horrendous.

The not-so-poor

By Beekysky,

Most of the people of Industriatown live in large tenements, like those from Carling Tower Hamlets. Those are some neat UK-based buildings downloaded from here.

A couple of parks were added to break the monotony, but as I used a non-grid layout for the residential area, there wasn't much to break up. An elementary school and library were initially added to increase demand, but the people got too smart, so I killed the library. When the elementary school got too full, I just put a...

Once upon a time...

By Beekysky,

...there was a small town, outside of an agricultural town called Sandbox. Sandbox (some years on, after the middle-class invasion) It started small, with high taxes for the rich, low taxes for the poor, and a ton of dirty industry. And suddenly, a Industriatown was born. Edited to downsize the pics.
