My vote goes to Wellington, New Zealand. I'm watching the sun rise over the city as I write this. It's also a superb case study for a lot of urban design problems.

Looks horrible. I'm glad nobody took any photos of it for me to link.

Haha, reminds me of Transport Tycoon

And here a rural area near the town of Feijenoord. What do you think of it?quote> This may sound ignorant but I didn't think there were hills in Holland ?

Wow. Reminds me of Simcity2000 where you'd just drag some High Density over the whole map and power it. Not a big fan of skyscrapers, in fact the highest building I ever use is the pioneer park building from the stex, but this is nonetheless very impressive.

Personally I like grids but I like to go freeform when it comes to individual neighborhoods. I'll have a fairly large road grid with something like 20 squares inside then I'll just randomly lay streets so that I can get 1x1 houses because I just love seeing row after row of little houses. quote> Yeah, I've been doing that of late. I pruned a lot of the uglier 1x1 RES from my plugins the other day so my neighbourhoods look beautiful

I used to prefer tight griddy for commercial and loose freeform for residential however now i have begun a large region with loose freeform grids for the lot. That is, there are lots of freeform shapes but there is a loose correspondence of those shapes with little town squares. We need a simcity dialect to adequately express these ideas.
