Hi, I think there is one thing, that is difficult to imitate with SC4, that is urban sprawl. Everytime I try to make an avenue lined with low density RCI, some big buildings appear and spoil my beautiful scenery. Furthermore STEX still lacks typical sprawler buildings such as gas stations, dry cleaners, drive-in-restaurants, spare parts shops, truck dealerships...well look out of your window in suburbia to see whats still missing. I´d like to see some good examples of urban sprawl along highways and avenues!

This is my City: Jena/Germany: pop 103,000, elev. 300m Comments welcome.

Looks great! Excellent work! But I wondered if one could bring the city closer to the station building. Most of time, big stations are situated in the central business district or at the rim of it. I remember cities like Leipzig, that has the worlds second largest terminal station: There is a main avenue in front of the 300-yard-long station building and right behind it, a densely populated city center begins.
