The Chutao Delta is located in a semi-tropical climate, with great beaches and large cities on the coast and small villages, farms and snow capped mountaints in the inlands.

Remeber the planned overview I showed a couple pages back? Well, this developing city (Strandsted) is the rightmost blue area. It's large downtown area, stretching from the beach to north of the highway interchange, is nearing completion. Still lots of work needs to be done, suburbs need to be built etc. To keep you warm, I've made a nice mosaic teaser of the Strandsted Beach District. A really nice district, with an avenue surrounded by skyscrapers, most of them businesses, but also hotels and appartment...

#8 Oceantown

By Rigga,

As promised yesterday, I'll show Oceantown today. I have been quite busy building a nice business district today and I hope you like what it's become. Oceantown is supposed to become the suburbs of the island metropolis to be built. As you can see, Oceantown is built on several peninsulars and islands. The largest is called Mestina. The smaller one is Ameba and the smallest is the Ocean Harbor. The small patch of land between Mestina and Ameba is a small part of Foresia. Let's take a look at the Ocean...

Let's see where we are going. I've made a rough outline of what I want to make of this part of the region. The southwestern part is supposed to become the central part of a large metropolis, with the blue parts high-density development with CBD's and highrise apartment buildings. Red is highway, grey avenue and black rail. As you can see, there has been quite some development south of Hutchville: Foresia and Oceantown. These are large suburbs, consisting mostly of single homes, clean industries and local...

Finally a new update! After having a few important deadlines at the uni I now have had the time to make a new update. Islandia really benefits from the airport being so close by. Tourists are coming into the city and the mayor decided that those tourists should have something nice to see. He therefor ordered a marina and a boardwalk to be constructed. A marina on the shore of Deslus and a boardwalk on the shore of New Portville. Enjoy! First up: New Portville. The boardwalk adds a nice touch to the...

Welcome to Islandia! This group of islands is an important commercial center for the region. The small portion that is the mainland area of this municipality has an airport, of which the runway extends on reclaimed land. Not too far from the airport you can find the Jackson Port (Remember from Jackson City?). Islandia City is made up from several bridge connected islands, one ferry connected island and a small portion of the mainland. The four bridge connected islands are, from north to south: Nisla, which...

Now that we've seen Jackson, let's get in the car, and take the N2 southbound. We don't have to drive long to get to the town of Menton. Menton has a weird background: the town used to be a castle, which used canals to defend itself against possible intruders. However, during the ages the castle was inhabited, no intruders showed up, so the people got less concerned with their safety and let the tower bridge lowered at all times. Until some day, somebody did show up and had an easy time destroying the...

Welcome to the third page! In this update, we'll see a change in Jackson City. The mayor was getting complaints from the residents, the boards of the commercial districts and the industry leaders about the high-tech industry park located on the Port Boulevard between the H1 and the N2. The nearby residents didn't want the industry near their homes, even though it was clean. The commercialists wanted more space to build more companies and the industrialists wanted to be closer to the port. The mayor decided...

#2 A look at Jackson

By Rigga,

Jackson is the northern municipality, consisting of Jackson City, Acery, Hilberton and Sefhos. The H1 ends in Jackson city and becomes the N1, an avenue going north, connecting Acery and Hilberton to Jackson City. The N2 cuts through Airport District, connecting Sefhos, Sefhos Aiport and Menton, a town in the Hutchville Municipality. At this moment, the municipality houses 53.174 sims, making it the largest of the 3 now existing municipalities. The sims work in one of the two downtowns (Old City and...

This region is a beautiful mountainous delta region, fed by the Chutao river. I'll try to present weekly updates. For now, this is the region so far. Mind you that so far, only 4 of the 56 large city tiles have been used! The region now consists of 3 small cities, 8 villages, an industrial port, a small local airfield and lots of farmland. This part of the region will connect to the south using H1, passing through Hutchville and Jackson City, and to the north via the N1, starting in Jackson city and...
