Environmentalism and sustainability are two major philosophies that inform contemporary planning- if you've ever been enrolled in a town planning programme you should know this. Resource management, whether it be of oil and gas for electricity, or just land itself, present serious constraints for all *modern* metropoleis. This is fact and reality. That being said, I very much doubt the new SimCity will have any more of an environmental 'bent' than the previous iteration of this game. It would be great if a real world timeline (along with associated limitations in technology) were included in the game as this would better reflect the growth patterns of cities from the past to present.

Hey, those details of the gardiner look great. I'm wondering, will you be putting in the Lunatic Asylum?

Awesome Update. Congratulations on Dundas. I'm curious as to how you're going to be putting in the below grade sections of the Yonge line. Keep up the good work.

Yes! An update! Methinks the Don will prove most challenging, especially with the King Edward viaduct.

How long did it take you to do the city proper? This is the best version I've seen so far. Don't rush it just for the sake of posting it here though, it's really good work.

Oh, I was referring to the real life dundas, it really is a messed up street.

I cannot wait to see more! Dundas street is pretty messed up, wouldn't you agree? Keep up the great work.

Wow, an accurate Toronto region - I hope you can pull this off. Everything looks good so far. How'd you get from Etobicoke to Yorkdale!?

Here are a few quick facts about Toronto (the city places 3rd in a lot of things): Canada's financial and corporate centre, a.k.a. headquarter city. Canada's, if not North America's and the world's most multicultural city (as listed by the UN). More than 100 languages are spoken in the city. Also home to Canada's largest Chinese population. The Caribana parade is the biggest single-day happening and largest Caribbean festival in North America. The world's largest undeground shopping and pedestrian complex (PATH). he annual Toronto International Film Festival is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile films, stars and market activity. Second highest transit ridership in North America, after New York. Third largest theatre centre in the world after New York and London. Third largest stock exchange in North America, in terms of value traded. Fifth largest city in North America, after New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Mexico city. Toronto's suburb of Mississauga held an international design competition for a new 52 storey condominium, which will be the city's 'signature' tower. Here are the finalists:

Hey, Profecy: Just so you know, the Ritz will be going up south of RTH, across the street. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Judging by the style of building, I think that The Pearl Building would work better. Just an idea though, awesome work.

Lydford: The New King George Hotel This Splendid Commodious Hotel is finished and furnished with every regard to comfort and luxury; has hot and cold water, with Baths and Closets on each floor, the Bed-rooms are large and well ventilated, and arranged for private parties and families. The aim has been to make this the most unexceptionable first class Hotel in all of Kenton. - the Edwards Inn and Resort In the roaring twenties, the Edwards Inn and Resort was the destination for the who's who of Kenton society. Grand parties and lavish social occasions were the trademark of the inn. In 1929, as frequent guests slid into bankrupcty and sold off their valuables, the Edwards Inn and Resort went down with them. Now, in an attempt to bring back a first class hotel to the region, the former getaway of the city's rich has been reincarnated in all its glory (and then some) as the Royal King George Hotel. Across the Lydford strait, the grand hotel sits perched on a gently sloping hill, offering spectacular views of the city. A frequent ferry service transports tourists and city dwellers alike to this still untouched haven from the hustle and bustle of city life. Features full tennis courts and a swimming bath. http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/5759/royal1so.jpg align=baseline> http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2259/royalkinggeorgeinset5tv.jpg align=baseline> http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/8562/royalkinggeorgepsd0mf.jpg align=baseline border=1>
