  4. The Capital of the World!

    Originally posted by: Marla_Singer The thing which quite astonishes me is to see so many people able to consider London as "superior" to New York City. I mean, come on, a simple visit in both place is enough to realize that London is a provincial town compared to NYC. Even Paris, which has a more urban feel than London because of its density, feels quite small compared to New York City. If there would be such as a thing as a "capital of the world", I could only imagine it to be the largest city open to a large cultural diversity and this is necessarily New York City. Indeed, I don't question the fact London is also multicultural, but so are many other cities: Toronto, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Los Angeles, New York. Among those, the largest one is clearly NYC, by far. Thus I don't even understand how they could be an argument about it. Another thing I might add, is that, at the opposite of a city like NYC which has 150 years of massive immigration history behind them, the phenomenon is fairly recent in London since it globally dates back to the 50's, and only reach a critical level in the 90's. The city in Europe which has the oldest tradition of immigration and multiculturalism is not London, it is actually Paris. Remember that Edith Piaf who was Italian/Algerian Kabyle, Josephine Baker who was African-American, Charles Aznavour who is Armenian. Remember Hemmingway's descriptions of Paris. Well, I could go on this way forever. I won't claim Paris is the capital of the world because of that... A simple walk in the streets of Manhattan is enough to make me understand how stupid that would be. And walks in London streets are even less impressive than walks in Paris... so you get my point.quote> Is a world city is not deffined in big buildings or population.Actually London is much more diverse and multi-cultural that NYC.How could you compare london to a provincial town when London is the largest city in europe by area(km) and the the third largest by population.It is also the third largest in area(km) in the world and having a metro population of 14 million(or higher)So NYC isn't much bigger by population as there are cities like são paulo with populations as high as 20 million.Much more than both London & New York-New York was also only officaily founded in 1624(i think) compared to London;which is more than 2000 years old. And London is growing upwards now with supertall developments approved around the city. London is about everything-the nightlife,bars,clubs,museums,architecture,shopping and its a bloody great time This pretty much sums it up(and written by an americain) London calling It’s cool, classy, cosmopolitan — and it should secede from the UK.

  12. The Capital of the World!

    AndreNolde:Most americans born in america use english as there first laungage-Also the USA is a country;Europe is a continent I would pick London.Besides there have been multiple articles explaining why London is the greatest city in the world(based on facts[with all sectors disscussed]) London confirmed as ‘world cultural leader’ First published 12 Mar 2008 A new report ‘London – A Cultural Audit’ has confirmed that London leads the cultural way in relation to other major world cities, with theatre at the top of the list. The report is the first to quantitatively compare London with New York, Paris, Tokyo and Shanghai, and found that London, with 55 major theatres, overshadowed New York (39) and Shanghai (19). The report, which was commissioned by the London Development Agency, also confirmed that with over 17,000 theatrical performances each year, London dwarfs New York’s output by nearly 5,000 performances. London also has more live music performances (32,292 as opposed to 22,204) and almost double the number of museums than its American counterpart. The report also targets cultural diversity within cities. With 200 festivals staged each year, many celebrating different sections of London’s diverse community, the English capital is also a world leader. Broadcaster, writer and cultural commentator Bonnie Greer, whose musical Marilyn And Ella is currently playing at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, welcomed the new report, saying: “One of the things that drew me to London was the incredible range and vitality of the arts and culture that are available here and this report makes the case for culture and for the London that all of us want to make.” In his response to the report, Richard Pulford, Chief Executive of The Society of London Theatre, commented: “We have always felt that the diversity and quality of theatre and performance on offer in London is the very best in the world. This report, in addition to 2007’s record attendance figures, underlines that.” In an effort to maintain London’s culturally strong position London Mayor Ken Livingstone has announced a fund of £1.4 million, to be delivered by the London Development Agency (LDA) and Arts Council England (ACE), to develop and support cultural projects across London over the next 18 months. It is hoped that if the initial period of funding is successful, more money will be made available in the run up to the 2012 Olympics. The announcement follows swiftly after the controversial cuts to funding announced by ACE earlier this year. Speaking about the new fund, Livingstone said: “In the four years between now and London 2012 the eyes of the world will be on the capital city, providing a unique opportunity to show off the rich creative and cultural talents that flourish in London. We are working to ensure that those organisations in the creative sector are given all the help they can to achieve this. At a time when funding in the cultural sector is increasingly competitive, support is needed for smaller artistic organisations that need help to bring their work to life and reach out to different communities across the capital.” Kevin Spacey, Artistic Director of the Old Vic, added: “London is a remarkable city with an incredible vitality that is hard to match. The fact that the city is hosting the Olympic Games in 2012 should be seen as an opportunity not just for sport, but also for culture. This new fund shows an understanding of how important culture is to London and a commitment to cultural activity as central to the 2012 Games.”

    You must've had to destroy your city to put all those lots in! Nice work-The whole storyline was exellent
  15. Welcome to Las Navas Toulousas

    Great stuff!Do you make any of your own lots?(if you don't,then i suggest you do because it puts a little bit of you into your Cj,which makes you win praise and recive awards ) I think this journal''does what it says on the tin''
  16. Lincoln, Virginia (Fictional)

    I suggest that you make a storyline that fits your actual city-You stated that there was practically no development in your city,though in the picture above there are quite a few new houses.Also the next updated,you stated that there was a new development, which also suggests that there is development I'm sorry if that sounded a bit harsh Actually i'm quite enjoying it-And i liked the second update
  17. Hi I've had a problem with my textures;Some of them don't actually show up in the renders(and thats just the renders[the areas were they don't show up are the white bits of the model)I've had this problem before but it usually just goes away after i retexture it or select it. thanks.

  22. I am aware of the BAT Essentials tutorial by phillippbo.I am also aware that this does cover nightlights.I'm sure you know theres three types of nightlight: • All night lighting • Mixed lights and window textures • and the crappy default ones. Now,the phillippbo tutorial only covers one type of lighting:The mixed lights type. I want to know if there are any tutorials out there that cover the all night lighting type. Now i'm pretty sure all of you agree on the fact that is the SC4devotion tutorial section is pretty bad(in terms of BATting).They have a fair few MODing tutorials which is exellent as i don't think simtrop has any(but thats just me).I understand that there quite alot of tutorials in the BAT open discussion thread waaaay back,but can any of you reccomend some. The above picture is one of my BATs(this is also the BAT i want to nightlight) I want to iron out the yellow brick texture a bit more and was told to do it on the UVW map.What measurements should i put in-I'm totally clu-less. Thanks for the help I've attached the texture at the bottom [EDIT] being slow(i'll try later) I'm sorry i have a bad pic I'll try find another [EDIT]Heres one:
