In the past years, the Grath City region has experienced much growth and change. Since the 2010 census, the population of Grath City has grown from 800,000 to 1,065,000 people. The city of Steelport has grown from 600,000 to 730,000 people. A view of the entire region. Inside Grath City, a newer view of the National Plaza. In the Grath City CBD, newer buildings have been constructed providing more jobs. Due to lack of room, new development is constructed on landfill. On Beach Island, a new development has been constructed with high-rise condos overlooking the skyline of the mainland and the vast blue ocean. To support the city's growing population, a brand new medical center has been constructed on the coast to provide medical care to the city's new citizens. The new development on Beach Island has added much traffic congestion to the Beach Island Bridge. New high-rises have also been built on the coast. Outside of Grath City, Steelport has also experienced much new development. The Airport has been expanded from one lane to three. Where the old airport once was, there is now office buildings and a large park. Last but not least, the Grath City Panthers, the football team for the Grath City region, just got their brand new stadium completed in Plattsburg, a suburb south of Steelport. It's in this stadium that the Panthers will soon play the Stalina Hammerheads for the Grathonian Football League (GFL) championships. IMPORTANT I have a few ideas for my next entry but I'm not sure what one I should do. I have ideas for a another rural area, another big city, or a ghetto-type city. Please tell me which one you'd like to see. Thanks! Thank You for viewing! Please comment and rate!

It would be nice if you expanded the city inland more, then the city gradually gives way to suburbs, and then farmland.

I actually like the empty plaza. It seems like a great place for the Sovyyians to arrange gatherings and other public activities :D

This style looks like a mixture between Japanese suburbs and Miami or L.A in the United States, I really like the tropical look as well. Overall, great work. I'm excited to see further updates in this CJ! :)

[quote name='harrythecat' timestamp='1327447245'] How do you get your income in that city? i see no buildings but there would be heavy prices on the road maintenance......... [/quote] lets just say i have some cheats.

Running along the southern border of the province of Praction, are the Streisbeck mountains. These mountains are home to some of the largest forests in Grath. A picture of the beautiful coniferous forests in the Streisbeck Mountains. These forests are used for the logging industry, and the industry helps out the region's economy by employing many of the locals. As you can see here, a large swath of forest has been cut down and it becomes a busy scene as the trucks come to transport the logs down the mountains. For enviromental issues, the government passed a law requiring the industry to leave certain areas untouched, so a new are has been chosen for harvest. Running along the left side of the logging area, you can see the logging road that is used to transport the logs down to the main road. The main road passes some beautiful scenery along the way. Finally, the road reaches the railyard, where the logs are shipped out all over the country to be processed and used for Grath's ever growing cities and towns. Some migrant workers come through the area to work. so some cabins were built by the logging company so that they have a place to live while the work. Thank You for reading, please rate and comment! I'm open for constructive criticism so if you see anything I did wrong, feel free to tell me and give me suggestions.

[quote name='harrythecat' timestamp='1327447113'] This is pretty cool, it would be extra awesome if u could develop it a little more and show how it grew. I'm a fan of large cities[img]https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/10.gif[/img] [/quote] yeah well this is a designated rural area. i could do a city later where it starts of rural and i show how it grows over time. thanks for the idea!

As you go off Inter-Provence 3 you begin to experience the real feeling of Praction. The province has a beautiful countryside and the Town of Kraston is a perfect example of a typical Praction rural town. A view of the town. Surrounding the village is acres and acres of farmland. Theirs 3 villages in the Town of Kraston, The Village of Kraston, East Kraston, and Leeds. Below, the Village of Kraston Leeds And East Kraston Please rate an comment!

[quote name='harrythecat' timestamp='1327446711'] Cool, but what's with the 4 different Coit Towers in that one pic? [/quote] i have a mod that makes landmarks have jobs and sometimes they build by themselves

What started off as a mere suburb of Grath City has grown over the centuries into a major commercial center 615,000 people strong, rivaling Grath City. Not only is it a major business center, it's also a huge industrial center that employs people from all over the Capital Region. Many corporations have their factories and their office headquarters just blocks away in the same city. Steelport is famous for it's iconic skyline. The huge towers downtown are some of the tallest in the world. Being right next to the capital of Grath, a world superpower, an airport is needed to bring whoever from anywhere to the city. The city has many office buildings, and here is a shot of an iconic buisness center in Steelport. To escape the busy city center, middle class families move to the quieter suburbs.

[quote name='harrythecat' timestamp='1327446546'] LOVE IT! How can your plugins folder handle all of those mods?!?!?!?!?! [/quote] i just have a good computer! thanks!

As we head south on Interprovence-4 we cross the border between the provinces of Praction and Ravenport. We then turn and start heading east, and we end up on the coast of Ravenport in the shining capital city of Stalina. Downtown Stalina The city of Stalina is huge with over 400,000 inhabitants within the city's limits and millions living in the surrounding area. These people go shopping in the city's strip mall district with the mall, Target, and WallMart. Running along the coast of Stalina is Wilkner's Island, with it's quiet suburbs and it's single family homes. Travelers and tourists can always stay in the Courtyard Marriot hotel.

great city! please show more!

do the city and start zoning

Nice looking city, but try to post more than just one picture and add some words. then you'll be fine.

[quote name='USA Patriot' timestamp='1326774949'] Interesting design and cluttered downtown. Got some strange looking "alien" looking towers. The airport is small looking, one run way.The downtown cluster of buildings has some real good gems though. Real tall, but powerful and imposing looking. Good work. [/quote] thank you. i know the airport is bad it's my first custom built airport

really great! for some reason it reminds me of boston or newport

[quote name='JGellock' timestamp='1325612054'] I like what you have going on here. This is a perfect place to start a town (at the meeting of the three rivers - reminds me of Pittsburgh). The farms around the town are refreshing. They go very nice with the terrain mod you're using. You may want to download some additional farms to add variety, or download the SPAM. I'd also recommend using some trees to divvy up your farmland. Rail can also do that - and I highly encourage NAM curves. Overall, nice work. I'll be back to this one. [/quote] thank you i'm glad you like it. this is my first real attempt at a rural area. thanks for the advice too i will happily use it

Woodsburg is a medium-sized city on the coast of the Grathonian provence of Praction. It is a major commercial area and is the hub of most northern Grathonian businesses outside of Grath City. Downtown Woodsburg Woodsburg is connected to the rest of Grath by Inter-Provence 3, which runs directly through the city. Woodsburg's citizens go shopping at the strip malls and grocery stores along Warren Street, going out of the city. And if your hungry, you could always go to the International House of Pancakes As you fly into the city, you can get a great view of the downtown district and the suburbs. The airport is on the edge of town and brings many people from around the world to the growing commercial center. I know that there are parts of other images showing in some of the pictures. I don't know why that happened and I'm sorry if it annoys you (it annoys me). Also, please rate and comment!

show us those skyscrapers!

[quote name='skyscraper241' timestamp='1324998624'] Like the rgion and the map, but you should use more Custom Content [/quote] ok thanks for the advice!

After a long and violent war in the Cheryl Islands, Incandian forces push through and invade the remote area of Thaelsburg on the Babrican coast. Below, Thaelsburg Incandian forces had to fight fiercely in the trenches dug by Babrican soldiers expecting the invasion. However, the defenders were overrun but only part of the CIty of Thaelsburg was destroyed, because a peace treaty was signed between Incandia and Babrica in the Grathonian Parliment Building. Thaelsburg after the battle. Grathonian Parliment building in Grath City The treaty declared that Incandia had to pay reparation for damage sustained to Thaelsburg but Babrica would hand over the Cheryl Islands. Below, a map showing the theaters of the war. Sorry for not updating in a while, I just had other stuff to do.
