The Carlson-Dumge is now being redone in Cities Skylines! Wait for the updates!

its the unity tower is originally (Guangdong TV Tower - renamed it via the in-game info viewer.) I just used Unity tower because its the tower that was built for the 150th anniversary of Carlson and Dumge unity.

The Bustling Metropolis of Carlson - Dumge City The Metropolis of Skyscrapers (My First City Journal for the Region of Habrin) There was a thriving towns called Carlson and Dumge, they were just a few kilometers away from each other's town central. In the past few decades, growth has come to their great seaside areas. Slowly, rich people came to their humble towns and made their towns rich of resources and money. Year 2012: A letter from the Mayor of Carlson. Rm 201, Centennial (420th) Floor, Carlson City Hall Tower, Hallmark Road corner Sg. Runners Avenue, Carlson Downtown, Carlson City Dear Mayor of Dumge, I the Mayor of Carlson wanted to see our future, our future to become one city, a metropolis that is bustling with businesses, fortune, and tourism. I give to you this letter to give us an option to combine our cities and make it as one. Sincerely yours, Mayor of Carlson August 23 of 2012: Both mayors signed a petition that they will combine their cities, then after few minutes the judgement was over. And the cities were combined. Now the city is ruled by the Dumge mayor as signed in the petition, and the mayor of Carlson is the Vice Mayor. Welcome to the Metropolis of Carlson-Dumge "Where skyscrapers goes higher each day" Downtown Area: Overview: Thanks to all modders who created some of my downloaded Lots, Styles, etc. on SC4. Thanks to the NDEX Group, SimPeg Group, Paeng, BSC, CAMelot, RHW & NAM, SimGoober, Caligrafx, and all other modders! Thank you for making the buildings, props, details that I have downloaded!

1. Dubai International Airport, Dubai, Al Dubay'y, UAE This is your link to the Middle East, and already surpassed London's Heathrow International Airport's passenger capacity and one of the world's most busiest airports. I love it's architecture and design and the ATC tower especially. Access to the city is very easy, because bus and rapid transit (E Rail) is already connected with the airport. Terminal 1 Outside: Planned Regional Terminal: The Now under construction (Final Phase) Concourse for Terminal 3: 2. Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R., China One of the most busiest airports in the world, and your link to most of all south eastern asian destinations, Well planned interior architecture and a great facade. Mass Transit to the city is fast, Bus or Rail. Inside: Bird View: Plane View: 3. Sharjah International Airport, Sharjah, Al Shari'qah, UAE The Airport of the Emirate of Sharjah, and one of the gateways to the middle eastern destinations, 3rd most used airport in UAE. Mass transit here is just Taxis and Buses. Bird View: The Main Terminal: Interior (Before): After (Post-Final Phase): Facade: 4. Kish Island International Airport (Kish International Airport,) Kish, Kish Island, Iran A booming summer destination in the middle east needs a 2 runway airport, and its this. A small and simple international airport, nice to see at night. And this airport has it's own flagship airlines, Kish Air. Buses and taxis are nearby. Outside: Inside: Future Terminal (For the increasing number of passengers): Inside the Planned Terminal: 5. Kansai International Airport, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan One of the best designed airports in the world, like Hong Kong International, it sits on a reclaimed land. Now with its 2nd runway extension for the increasing passenger numbers. Mass transit, from rapid transits and buses, and monorails are connected to the airport. Plane View: Inside: Rapid Transit Terminal (w/Train): Outside: 6. Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten, St. Maarten Islands, Carribeans One of my favorites, cause if you go vacation here, you might see airplanes on top of you, feel the airplane gust behind the roaring engines. And probably a human hazard for beachers, but its a great attraction for visitors. I love to see a airplane this close to you, in speeds of 140 ~ 200 km/h. Beach Side (Plane at landing mode full): Bird View: Landing (AOM DC-10): This Close to hitting one single car below. ATC View: 7. Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Pasay City & Paranque City, Metro Manila, Philippines My home country's main airport for international and regional, already at it's maximum capacity, and no longer expanded for higher capacity. It is also a military airbase, before it was a airbase for the US Pacific Forces in the height of WWII, and captured by the Japanese forces and made a Japanese military headquarters, and in the process, it created the home of the main airports in the Philippines. And a few miles from the Sangley Point Navy Air Base. Terminal 3 is the new terminal with the highest capacity than the previous terminals, created by Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. And it has 3 terminals. A to B class airport for all Philippine Air Traffic Terminal 3 Facade: Plane View (Landing Mode): Atrium of Terminal 1: 8. Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, Clark, Pampanga, Philippines (formerly Clark Air Base) One of the largest airports in the Philippines and in Asia, it is also the biggest US airbase outside US, it was transferred to the Philippine Government when it was strucked by ash falling from the explosion of Mount Pinatubo (A few kilometers from Clark) Now it was rebuild as a international airport for the Region 3 and a temporary replacement for Ninoy Aquino International, if weather conditions in Manila is very bad, or visibility in Manila is very low. And it's one out of 3 of the airports in Philippines that can land a Airbus A380, And can be used as a landing site for the retired Space Shuttle. And this is the only A Class airport in the Philippines that has the possible capacity and terminal design that can be compared to Hong Kong International Airport. Tarmac and Runway: (The time when NAIA was inaccessible to planes and diverted to DIMA) Terminal 2: Future Terminal 3: 9. Edwards Air Force Base, Edwards, Kern County, California (Included the Northern Base) Even if this is not a Commuter Airport, i still liked it, cause i found it with the most number of runways for a Airport, and 2 runways that goes longer than the commercial standards of 5000 meters (or 5 km), built on the desert near a dry bed lake. Its perfect for military purposes, because its a big place to put large airbase. This is where NASA's Dryden Research Facilities are located. Welcome to Area 51! Satellite View: Main Runway for jets and props, and for business class planes: NASA's Advance Planes Before: Space Shuttle Landing: (Discovery STS 114) 10. Gibraltar International Airport, Gibraltar, Gibraltar Island, Spain Save for the last, this airport is insane, a avenue passing through the airport itself, planes land to the runway and passes by the avenue, one time i went here and i was surprised from what i saw. No casualties from cars and planes hitting each other. If you wanna do suicide (preferably a airplane crushing you, go here) Like Princess Juliana (but in a different way.) A freaking A Class Airport with a freaking car and air accident waiting to happened. British Airways in the Intersection: The hell this Airport is! A plane was stuck on the incoming traffic that he/she encountered: Full: Waiting for a plane to land: The best of these is our very own RMIP Airport Modular Design Mod for SC4! Thanks to the creator of RMIP!

Part 2: United Arab Emirates 3. Sheikh Rashid Rd. - E11 (One of the largest Highways in Dubai), Al Rebat St. - D83 (A Avenue to Festival City Mall), D70 Avenue, and 5th Street. Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.23798,55.342543&num=1&t=h&z=17 This is one of the largest intersections ever in Dubai, 1 major highway, 2 major avenues, and a street all converging here. Light spagettification of the intersection with several bridges and ramps, only light to heavy traffic is in the E11 and D83, and it looks like a park than a intersection, Because near to it is a Golf Course and a Aviation College. 4. E11 (Sheikh Rashid Rd.) & D85 (Baniyas Rd.) Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.249742,55.336062&num=1&t=h&z=17 Another spagettificated intersection, because of the mall beside it, the intersection was spagettified so almost 75% of traffic from D85 goes to the mall's premises. And traffic from the D83 avenue goes under this intersection (a small tunnel), and also goes to the mall. (There's a wide highway lookalike, its a elevated rail towards a elevated rail to subway transition.) 5. D70 and Airport Road (a Major Avenue) - D89 Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.24718,55.352615&num=1&t=h&z=16 This intersections is just one intersection, they all link to the 2 terminals in the airport. Its a maze of ramps, bridges, and underpasses, and overpasses. 6. Emirates Road (A Major highway in UAE) (Sharjah Ring Road as they call it in the Emirate of Sharjah) - E311 and S112 or Mahalia Rd. a major avenue in Sharjah. Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.296602,55.436946&ll=25.296369,55.437269&spn=0.006179,0.009645&num=1&t=h&z=17 For the start, its a plain, simple intersection with a roundabout below the highway overpass, another engineering at it's best. Problem is that the roundabout below makes a big effect on the overpass above, traffic goes from moderate to heavy, because of the roundabout below, in effect also the overpass changes from light to moderate traffic and sometimes heavy, especially during rush hours when most of the people from Sharjah go to work in Dubai, and from work to their homes in Sharjah. In the past few years, Sharjah Government tried to change this intersection, but failed, so they created a new cloverleaf intersection in the north of this, following E311. 7. E311 and S120 (University City road, a avenue going to Sharjah University Complex) Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.316233,55.451644&ll=25.316049,55.452225&spn=0.006178,0.009645&num=1&t=h&z=17 Another uniquely engineered intersection design, There are 2 roundabouts in each side of the S120 before passing up the E311. And it was designed for the university that leads to it. 8. Al Awir Road (Avenue to the desert) and Emirates Road (E311) Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.179874,55.39669&num=1&t=h&z=16&lci=transit_comp The simple cloverleaf pattern can be seen, but the northern side of the cloverleaf was a few meters away from Al Awir Road (The overpass), so they created a ramp from E311 to Al Awir road for that purpose. 9. Sheikh Zayed Road (another major highway and the dangerous highway in all of UAE), the Financial Center Road (Avenue), Al Safa Street Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.204951,55.270692&num=1&t=h&z=17&lci=transit_comp The Spagettification at it's best, look at it, its a maze of underpass, overpass, tunnels, ramps, exits, entrances, and lines. And look where do all these lead, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. 10. The Causes of Spagettification of roads and highways: 1. Malls 2. Landmarks 3. Leisure Places (Parks, Golf Course, etc.) 4. Airports 5. Major Mass Transit Terminals (Combination of Bus, Train, Tram, and other mass transit vehicles) 6. Entrance and Exits to Major Commercial and Residential Zones, and Industrial Zones) 7. Interconnected Intersections 8. Less Space to Occupy 9. Designed to be Spagettified 10. The Architect who drawn the original design accidentally a line or arc because he/she was so tired, and eyes started to pop out. So Please, design your cities first, before making it. We have the power in SC4 and CitiesXL. Lessen spagettification, cause it just too much, and a crash might happen. But it depends to you. I love that Highway and runway intersection or road or avenue or street to runway intersection, please someone do a mod for that (Workable for NAM and RHW please)

United Arab Emirates: 1. Al Wahda Road - S 113 (Road that acts like a interstate highway/avenue) and King Faisal St. - S 112 (a Street that acts like a avenue) Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.328375,55.395114&num=1&t=h&z=17 Visibly, it's a half-cloverleaf intersection, the problem is because of it's design, traffic from S 112 goes down the ramps, and goes to S 113. Traffic is high because all people goes to S 113, and an almost impassable gridlock on the intersection especially below the bridges and the ramps. 2. Al Wahda Road - S 113 and Al Khan St. - S 108 (Another street that acts like a avenue) Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=25.313615,55.381499&num=1&t=h&z=17 The Cloverleaf is not a problem, but the roundabout north of that is a nightmare, cause' traffic from S 113 and Jamal Abdul Naser St. goes around that roundabout, causing a lot of traffic in the intersection. Part 2 next

Yep! You were right! A highway or avenue, then intersected by a airport with the taxiways and runways intersecting the highway or avenue, who so ever have made a mod like this in SC4, i would download it... (The part of the highway is a landmark!) one time, when i went vacation in gibraltar, i saw this stretch of road on the airport, and i was shocked!

My Top 5 Cityscapes 1, Dubai United Arab Emirates (My second home country's business capital and a famous tourist destination, and the home of the tallest skyscraper in the world, Burj Khalifa (Middle Right), Burj Al Arab the world's only 7 star hotel, The Palms Projects, world's biggest and hardest land reclamation project, Dubai Autodrome, a famous motor speedway used by Grand Prix and Gran Turismo events, And it is also home of one of the largest malls in the world, Dubai Mall, and the home of almost 200 tall skyscraper included in the world's 1000 highest buildings. 2. Manila, Philippines - My Homecountry's Capital city, its one of the biggest Modern Megalopolises (Metropolises) in Asia. Home of one of the biggest malls in the world, and the biggest in asia, SM Mall of Asia. It was built by the Spaniards, and strengthened by US, but almost demolished by the Japanese, but after WWII, US regained control and Manila was actually one of the richest cities in Asia in 1960's when Former Late President Ferdinand Marcos was the leader, Philippines was the highest economic stature in Asia before, overrating Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Macau, Taipei, Beijing, Guangdong, etc. 3. Kish, Iran (Kish Island, Iran) - A small city and a popular tourist destination in Iran, most Middle East immigrants go here when there visas in their immigrated countries expires and go on a 2 ~ 3 weeks "vacation" here. Nice Place, still fresh and growing! 4. Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R., China - The one of the home of the largest economically growing areas. Most of Hong Kong are already tall skyscrapers. Hong Kong is considered as one of the best tourist destinations in the world, most of the tallest buildings are also located here, and one of the biggest reclaimed land airport is here (excluding Osaka's Kansai Airport< Kobe Airport, and Chiida Airport, Include Macau Airport) 5. Osaka, Japan - Home of one of the largest reclaimed land airport, Kansai Airport. SimCity 4: Im testing my innovative and creative skills in making a great skyline for all of the cities and towns that im making. I downloaded NAM and RHW for my road and highway stuff, some files from NDEX, and some from Joerg, RMIP, MTP, and other modders files... Thank you for all those mod that u created and i downloaded and used for the glory om my cities... Still having problems on too much mods, the game crashes when there are too much mods in the map. Ill be posting my favorite top 5 SC4 cities that i have created any time soon... 1. St. Howards (Downtown Madness) 2. El Fuego de Castilio (The Spanish Legacy Modernized) 3. La Marino (Western Mediterranean Paradise) 4. Hadrion (The Middle Eastern City) 5. Carlson-Dumge (Megalopolis of the Present Times) (They would be posted at any sequence)
