Time of reconstruction - Part 2
TheMurderousCricket posted a City Journal entry in SimCity: Tribalism
Once Dollar Grove, Cashflow and Newfoundwealth started to function normally, a time for the reconstruction of Profit Hill has come. For the Businesspeople tribe, returning their capital to its former glory was a matter of patriotic pride and as such it was treated as one of the government's top priorities. The top officials on both governmental and municipal level agreed that the shape and placement of the new downtown area, the capital's visiting card, is too important a task to be left to a handful of urban planners. This is why it was agreed to launch a contest in which architects, social groups, historians and business communities could put their own proposals forward for the new city center. In total, twenty-seven projects were submitted for the initial evaluation by the city hall. Although all of them had some interesting elements, only four were promoted to the final phase of the contest. The majority of the Businesspeople demanded that the final choice be made by the Revered Spirits of the St'ropoli Dimension as many felt that asking for their opinion would be a chance to reconcile with divine tiers and erase the shame that weighed upon the tribe for its attempt at paving over one of the most important Sulkourbanist religious sites. It was also believed that this motion can improve intertribal relations, since many other tribes were unsure of the Businesspeople after their controversial actions that in some circles were considered as an apostasy... This is why today you can have your say and decide which of the projects below should give the way to rebuild Profit Hill's CBD. Take your time to carefully read the details of each of the proposals that made it into the final pool and then cast your vote once you have your verdict ready. This time, it is possible to vote for more than one proposal so if you think that more than one option deserves recognition, you can reflect that in your vote. Proposal #1 Submitted by: Profit Hill's Chamber of Commerce (business organization) CBD moves to the Eastern part of the city, replacing existing residential areas. R1 highway is then expanded towards Southern edge of Profit Hill. In this option, a large residential area which was damaged in the volcanic eruption is replaced with a long commercial strip. Most of the citizens living in the area were evacuated and resettled to Breadwinner Ponds and Dividend four years ago. Currently, only one-third of the pre-disaster population still lives in the remaining apartment blocks. In this concept, the R1 highway could also be expanded so that it runs through the middle of the new CBD and onwards. Pros: Water, hydronics and power infrastructure already available (if somewhat damaged.) Pairing up commercial zones and a highway might provide excellent financial gains. The "CBD+R1" (as the project is also called) may be a gateway for tribe's further expansion South, where a couple of vacation towns are planned for the future. Proximity of a busy commercial area might provide a chance to revive the "Profit Hill Park" project (a park area on the Profit Hill's Eastern slope) which lingers on for two decades now, without a clear plan or landscaping concept... Cons: The redevelopment involved in "CBD+R1" may erase the Eastern part of Small Business Society's shopping area. This is certain to increase the tensions between large companies and small, private entrepreneurs. Even tough the local area is largely depopulated, the project still involves resettlement of about 5100 citizens (for comparison, this is an approximate population size of Trigger Happy - home of Smileyface's Armacorp company.) Relatively high costs and complexity of the whole operation (resettlements, bulldozing large areas, rezoning, extensive roadwork.) Proposal #2 Submitted by: "Urbi et Tribu" Student Science Society (academic organization) CBD is scattered all over Profit Hill in many, small commercial "pockets". The second proposal is quite unorthodox and recommends creation of numerous small commercial "pockets" that would together constitute Profit Hill's CBD, only not geographically continuous. The proposal promotes the idea of compact, high-density, skyscraper zones. Such urban plan, which relies on condensing development, would potentially free up a lot of space, making it possible to use it for recreational and community purposes later. In general, the idea draws heavily from Le Corbusier's "Plan Voisin". Pros: Innovative approach. Creating compact, skyscraper, commercial zones frees up a lot of land that would otherwise have to be built over. Practically every part of the city will offer employment possibilities. Project encourages development of tram and subway lines to ensure connectivity between commercial areas. Cons: Project does not take local economic factors into account. Some of the "mini-CBDs" may not receive enough customers to grow while others will be receiving the bulk of commercial traffic, leading to uneven development. Project will involve considerable redevelopment in numerous parts of Profit Hill, making it a logistically, financially and organizationally challenging undertaking. Significant risk of diluting the commercial demand due to so many commercial zones, which may be a hindrance in the creation of anticipated skyscrapers. Profit Hill's citizen organizations panned the project and pointed out that it disregards community opinions. Many claim that proposal #2 is a "reckless experiment by a bunch of uni guys who want to get good grades by the end of the semester". Proposal #3 Submitted by: "Friends of Sirli Park" (community organization) Back to where it was. The third possibility on the table is to rebuild the Profit Hill's CBD in the exact same spot where it was before the disaster. It will of course involve significant terraforming and the removal of the volcanic cone that dominates the area but it is a viable option given the help that was offered by the Businesspeople's allies... Pros: Availability of highly-advanced engineering equipment provided by the Smileyfaces. This opportunity makes removal of the volcanic cone absolutely possible. A proven and true solution which brought significant riches to the city before. The area is located exactly in the center of the city tile, which in most cases is arguably the best spot for a CBD. Sentimental value and a matter of pride for Profit Hill's inhabitants. Cons: High costs of proposed terraforming, even with the use of Smileyface tools. Extensive damage to water pipes, wiring and other types of infrastructure has been reported in the area. Business community seems worried that a similar disaster may repeat in the future. These fears may badly influence investment dynamics in the area, at least for the first few years. Proposal #4 Submitted by: "Together for Profit Hill" (community organization) Co-working with the government. The fourth and final option involves rebuilding the capital's CBD in a partially unused area in the Eastern part of the city and along one of the main avenues there. Just a few blocks away from the original downtown and close to the governmental buildings located in the local area. Pros: Significant open area which is ready for development Proximity of important landmarks like the city hall, courthouse and sports stadium Decent transport infrastructure which involves two large avenues and a nearby tram line which can further be expanded Decent location which is relatively equidistant from all residential zones Relatively low costs involved Cons: Close proximity to the businesses owned by the Small Business Society which may cause antagonisms between private companies and large corporations. Relatively low traffic volumes in the local area, which is bad for business. Prognosis are unclear whether it will pick up once CBD starts running. Proximity of low density housing which may cause either CBD or the residential zones to look out of place. Now it is time for you to decide. What Profit Hill would you like to see in the future? Comment replies: @TogaMasterJohn - I have to say that I'm in love with these small, little gardens that you pointed out to in the last episode. They are simply terrific - they way they blend in parks, leisure or governmental areas is just stunning. There are some here too, in the fourth picture as you can see. @Tamijo - Thanks Tamijo.- 6 Comments

Welcome to Tunare, the capital of the republic of Costania! Tunare is the largest city of this insular nation with an interesting and rich history. The city lays on both banks and the delta of Klisa river and partially at the Tuna Bay (that's where the name Tunare comes from) near the geographical centre of Costania. Let's have an initional tour of the city, shall we? If you decided to visit Tunare via train, you're most likely to come to the Tunare Main Railway Station (local name Tunare Hirdet Fereletstas). The current look of this huge structure was finished in 1978. It's the main getaway point (apart from the airport that you'll see in another CJ). If you need to stay near the station for jus one night, you can stay at Marriot Hotel next to the station. Just a few minutes of walking away, you can visit an Old Town district (Altet Stat in local language). You'll be amazed by well-preserved historical centre with one of the main dominants of the city - St. Nicholas cathedral, a neo-gothic structure build in 1844. According to a local legend, St. Nicholas, a patron of sailors, helped the first settlers from British Empire and Spanish kingdom to discover Costanian island. As a gesture of thankfulness, they've built a church that has been lately rebuild into its current version. Old harbor used to be the main water getaway point to the city in the past. Now it is more like a tourist attraction with small marina, surrounded by old picturesque houses. Old and new town hall. In the old (smaller one) building you can visit City Museum. Next to the historic centre you can find a piece of modern architecture. This is the Tunare Museum of Modern Art (shortly TuMMA). It was open in 2009. And before we get off the historic centre, here is the overview of Altet Stat.

The Capitol District of Durham serves as the regional business hub and the center of national political power in Sim Nation. The legislative and judicial seats of government are located here, along with a substantial number of governmental bureaus, agencies, and institutions. The National Promenade Park, along the Kubwa River, serves as the "front yard" of the country and is home to many monuments and museums. Adjacent is the central business district and University of Durham. This concentration of governmental and commercial sites makes the Capitol District the most visited and recognizable area of Greater Durham. Being the center of the city, the Capitol District is also the hub of the regional and national transportation network.

Dalta, the capital city of the Kingdom of Dalta. The Danburg CBD during a night. A high rise commercial and luxurious district where are settled main companies in the country. Besides, the main avenues that divides the city in north, south, east and west are intersected here. Here also its the headquarters of the Dalta stock exchange, and the Sampson Mall Complex. Near Danburg CBD, are the Victory Square, with the Royal Spice Market, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Hope, and City hall. King Samuel Urban Garden, a park located near Danburg CBD. Its a good place to rest from the stressful workplace. Near there are also residential skyscrapers of middle high class. Parliament building near Senube river.

In the mood for another report? Hope so, as this one cames along a line never explorated due to the inevitable (and so complicated) technical issues, anyway, nothing that some patience, planning and action can't deal with. As for today de SMNT (a.k.a. Saint Maj North Transport) presents us the second deal around it's anual report with never seen images and analysis: our dear Capital sorts out into the eye of our SMNT. What would it be? We'll we hope you can't guess. Tarrë, the capital city of our nation has just reached the one hundred and sixty habitants mark, solely in it's core, as the western and southeast districts (Kar Herne & Renet, respectively) show an important growth. Today we leave you once more with the CEO of the SMNT, our ex-senator Mr. Hillcrest: "Dear Tarrëans, just this section of this analytics program we've just launched five years ago has turn out to be a core for the next years towards our capital plans. We've conceiled the information in three main maps: avenue map, TRAMsit map and IntraUrban Rail Map. The first one reveals the enormous growth of the city, filled with main avenues as best as the space permits, all along you may notice, the city almost ate everything and with its compactness, it won't allow new avenues, so the solution in results in a double lane road as in the downtown Tarrë. The TRAMsit map just overlaps the first and its importance allocates (as the IntraUrban Rail map) in its integration with the avenue and road systems. The compactness of the city as you may think leaves us with so little space to develop that commplicated infrastructure. With the TRAMsit the solution tends to be towards its specilization, by which I mean, the street working only for trams. The issue with the IUR (a.k.a IntraUrban Rail) is it's obvious necessity of space. Our engineers manage years ago to develop the main line with excessive possibilities as the city wasn't spread, but as the city grew that space shrinks. The result is a compact and almost completely underground system with only nine stations, including the main two: the renamed Saint Maj Central (C, in the map) and the Abyss Station, just in front, receiving western lines (2, in the map). You may notice that the main purpose of the rail was to connect the western industrial zone to the downtown, as for today that necessity is the main as the inter- urban rail connections to other cities. Anyhow, this is just a bit of the complex transport system we are guardians of. Take care, and hope for the best." Mr. Hilcrest. Head of the SMNT Conseil. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Finally, a zoom 3 or 4 of our capital! ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

Chapter I: The Life in Downtown
Revyzer posted a City Journal entry in Commonwealth of Canderia [SC4]
It's a beautiful fall day, the city thrives, the streets of downtown busy, bells of the churches ring, people walk sidewalks talking on their phones, cars blow their horn, the air smells somewhat delightful. You are in Downtown Canderia, the heart of the city-state. The highrises and historic buildings create the everlasting image for you as you appear around the city, looking at storefronts, and the beauty that sits before you inside such a deep city, with it you visit the museums and get into the history of such a odd place. How could such a small city-state, survive being surrounded by the United States and Canada? Why has it never tried to join Canada, which acts diplomatically like it's sibling, it's brother? This place is rather strange, it shouldn't exist but, yet it does. The national flag of Canderia, which has been in use since 1833, but Canderia itself has been a British colony since 1598, older then Jamestown and other colonies in what would become the United States, it was a hugely important city for the British to keep especially during the Revolution, as it was a firmly British loyal city, defending itself from the Continental Army, it was given the best treatment from Parliament before, during and after the revolution, as it was not considered part of the 13 Colonies but instead as its own separate entity separated from the 13 Colonies. Though the flag itself, represents the War of 1812, when 2,000 American soldiers tried to siege the city from the British, the city only with 150 men, fended off the American forces with help of its heavily not passable Canderia Mountains, it is more of a feat when you realized only 95 of the 150 soldiers, had guns. The historic Canderia Summer Palace, today a museum and no longer used by the Windsor family, but remains a very popular tourist spot for those visiting the Commonwealth. Those this is where today, and since 1887 the Commonwealth has gathered with independence in 1925 it became Parliament Hall, before hand it was the Colonial Palace. It sits on the iconic downtown surrounded by modern and classical highrises, historical buildings, and many parks of the city. The historic Canderia First Bank Building, still in use by CFB today. The historic Customs House & Market Hall near the waterfront This is the historic Royal Hotel, where many world leaders stay at. It is 50% owned by the government, and the other 50% is owned by Canderia Royal Lodging Corporation. The National Hall of Canderia, home to the National Museum and Library, built in 1933, and is a major spot for tourists as it includes war pieces, as well as the stories of those who served in the world wars and old WW1/WW2 Equipment on display in the museum. Then on the opposite end, those who are Anglican can not threat with Saint Andrew's Cathedral, Canderia, in the historic core area of the city. Here is the city's Catholic cathedral, Roman Cathedral of Nativity of Our Lord, built in 1901. Here in downtown, the first picture sits the Debenhams Department store, built in the 1960s, and continues to remain open in downtown as a very high tourist and popular department store. The second photo is the old Staudenmaier Department Store, though the department store itself closed in 1997, the building remains standing flying a Canadian flag as at one time the top floors was used as the Canadian embassy and the flag remains today as a reminder of Canderia's closest ally, Canada. Though today, the largest retailer in Canderia is Kmart. You're thinking "What but Kmart is dying." Yes, in America. In 1993, Kmart's Canderia subsidiary broke off from the company to form the Kmart Corporation (Canderia), and it remains the largest retailer in the country. This is the Kresge Building (the blue building), the headquarters for the Kmart Corporation built for them in 1975, today Kmart Corporation remains far ahead of Walmart who struggles with outdated stores with high pricing, as well as struggling to win over customers with their reputation in America heavily known, Walmart entered Canderia in 1988 and has heavily struggled with it and other retailers in the country. The logo for the Kmart Corporation Debenham's Department store located across the Canderia National Police Headquarters Of course while you're in town why not catch a ballgame at Kmart Field? It's home to the best, and only MLB team in the country! One of two outside of the USA with the Toronto Bluejays! The Canderia Ducks! There is also near it is the famous CCBC (Canderia Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation) Stadium, home of many events and concerts & FC Canderia. Of course near it, is one of the most important and historic universities in the Commonwealth, McPherson Methodist University named after Edward Genes McPherson who in 1798, brought Methodism to the colony, and when the Methodist college was established in 1833, it was named in his honor. Though, those who do not have the desire to learn the Wesleyan way, will often attend National University of Canderia. A much smaller scale university but still a very efficient and highly ranked among universities across North America. The conclusion but not forever, as we will travel out downtown and see suburbia and the great stoutness that this city-state holds outside the downtown.- 5 Comments

Norige Hills-Broonwick & Baydfall(Southern Part) and bonus:General rewiew of central districts
Zerx posted a City Journal entry in Guademian Republic
I am glad to welcome you in the capital of the Guademian republic again. Today you will get acquainted with two more districts of the city (more correctly with their southern parts). This districts: Broonwick and Baydfall. Their southern parts border in the south on North Nord Fill and are divided by Weits River. These areas aren't so popular with tourists as they the historic center of the city, but at the same time aren't less interesting and not less important. These areas have the main important role for permanent residents of the capital, though to guests of the capital these areas can be remarkable (in particular some quarters of these areas). In these two areas some universities, the market, important administrative objects, the ministries, the former prison, and nowadays being the museum, one of terminals of a city-suburban electric train are located. This area is also crossed by the second boulevard ring(Friedrick Boulevard Ring) that does these areas by important transport hubs of the city. The most part of quarters of these areas is sleeping, but also there are some historical sights. These areas were included in structure of Norige Hills in 1896, and earlier were its suburbs. BROONWICK(south) Broonwick — the third district of Norige Hills. The southern part of the area (about which we speak today) adjoins to the central part of the city, as a part of Norige Hills is educated in the 19th century. Is the densely populated area with a set of municipal housing though there is a historical architecture (mainly in the southern part of the area which developed because of proximity to the city). It is known approximately since 1200.The area is located in the northwest of the central part of the city of Norige Hills. Occupies the space of 7,42 sq.km. This area is in the center of the municipal districts of Norige Hills. The area borders on the area Hadilston in the north, in the south borders on Nord Fill(northern part), the East borders on the district Baydfall.The Weast Borders on the district Nidhans. In the south it is separated from the district Nord Fill by the Weits River.In comparison with other central regions of the city, is rather planted trees and shrubs, thanks to big space in the southern part which is built up in the majority with municipal buildings.The area is most known for the concert hall built in 1979 in which there take place all main concerts of the country which are broadcast on all central channels of the country. It was constructed by Evgeny Bluming. In the territory of the area also the market with the name of the area of the same name is located. On the Clapham square Saint Rupert's and Virgil cathedral is located.Has been attached to the city in 1896, and earlier was the suburb of the capital. The big sleeping quarter Vauxhall has been built in the period of 1960-1970, instead of shabby housing, for working class. Sleeping quarter has been divided into two blocks. The block A settles down to the southwest of the area on the Weits River, overlooking the small park on quay.The quarter is crossed by a boulevard ring. This sleeping quarter has a convenient arrangement, thanks to existence of the main thoroughfare of the city and a wide choice of public transport (many bus and tram routes cross this quarter) therefore it is very convenient to inhabitants of this quarter to reach for work practically any point of the city. In Blok A also there is a kindergarten and school. There are playgrounds, parking spaces and several large supermarkets within walking distance. In the Block B there are two schools, 1 kindergarten, city policlinic. With the Block A it is divided by a Friedrick boulevard ring, and in the east it is limited to Marshwood Avenue which is in turn crossed with a boulevard ring. The Avenue is an important transport artery of the city, stretching from a northern part of a boulevard ring to the district Hadilston. According to the Marshwood Avenue trams and buses go. Also near a quarter the main concert hall of the city, and to the closest metro station of only 10 minutes on foot is located. Here is how in general quarter looks. As you see building of municipal buildings is mixed with historical buildings. It was affected by proximity to the historic center of the city. Therefore this area partially is sleeping (at least in the south which we discuss today) The cathedral is devoted to Saints Rupert and Virgil. The building is located to the East from the Marshwood Avenue, on the Clapham Square adjacent to a boulevard ring. The present structure is executed in Baroque style and has length 101 meters with a width of 45 meters. Height of the main building — 32 meters, dome height — 79 meters, height of towers — 81 meters. The cathedral has 11 altars, 5 bodies and a set of bells, the oldest of which have been cast in the XVI—XVII centuries. The principal organ belonging to 1703 has been replaced in 1988 with the new tool manufactured in Mikenstein. The cathedral has 900 seats, all at the same time can be in it to 10 thousand people. On the square the Ministry of Education is also located.There are always a lot of people. Tourists, students, citizens, shopaholics, constant guests of the area and nearby streets To the East from the area, parallel to it, one of the oldest universities of the country is located. To the middle of the 19th century, the building belonged to one rich aristocrat of that time, but after disintegration of the empire when the country became the republic, the government has decided to arrange in this building university. Near the Clapham Square there is an elite night club in which celebrities, athletes and other bohemians like to have a good time. On eastern frontier with the district Baydfall the market is located. It is the main market of the Broonwick, the smallest, but with the most wide choice of fresh vegetables, fruit, souvenirs and other goods. The market is located in a quarterWhitechapel. This quarter the headquarters of some corporations, some important administrative objects, such as tax authorities, the central district mail, several supermarkets and various retail stores also located. This quarter there are buildings built in the 17th century. Also private clinic. To the South of a quarter on the Weits River in 2001 the elite housing estate with own private parking, with football fields and tennis courts has been constructed. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays use of sports constructions is available to everyone (to residents of houses adjacent to sports constructions, it is free). In the south it is limited to Weits River, and in the north a Friedrick boulevard ring. BAYDFALL(South) Fourth district of Norige Hills. As well as Broonwick, is located is very subcentral therefore treats the central part of the city (we will discuss detailed administrative division of the capital soon and very in detail). In the area there is a pedagogical university with the big park adjacent to university and the football field, and also the large residential sleeping quarter which settled down on the river bank adjoins to the park from South side. Also in the area there is a medical research center, medical college, city clinical hospital, 3 schools and 2 kindergartens. The main thoroughfares the Vernand Avenue beginning at a royal garden in Nord Fill and stretching to northern border of the city. Also Ronkley Avenue which is crossed with the Vernand Avenue and stretches to the Marlhays district. These two important roads do this area by the important transport hub. Also thanks to the settling-down on the western border of the region of the Terminal A of a city-suburban electric train, the metro station 4 lines, terminal point of many bus routes and trams. The terminal is one of the main transport hubs of public transport. At the station square the station of a taxi is also located. From here it is possible to move conveniently around the city on public transport, it is convenient to reach any point of the city at any time. It is quite noisy area, cars, important administrative objects, for example the Ministry of Health is a lot of here. Here the dense population is enough. In the area there are no special sights therefore tourists are seldom and that in transit here, using the terminal as a starting point to other districts of the city. the terminal A is terminal and transit point for routes Bus: A13, A27,A84,A85,A67,A133,A95,A55, B33,B77,B150,B340a,B601,B89a,R50,R721,R11,R734, R677,R652a,C5,C9.C12,N63a,N98,N25 Tram: T3,T4,T7,T9,T10,T14,T18 Subway M4 City-suburban electric train SR1,SR2,SR3,3a,3b,SR4,SR9,9a,9b,SR10 (is more detailed about public transport of the capital and agglomeration you learns later, with detailed maps, explanations and routes) It is based on August 16, 1809 at the initiative of Wilhelm Gamboldt.

Rebuilding a City From Scratch
woodb3kmaster posted a City Journal entry in Nyhaven, Lower Columbia (AIN)
Well, prop pox struck Kendall again, and there was nothing I could do to reverse its effects. Rather than limit myself to taking pictures of unaffected parts of the city, though, I decided I had to start over. Rebuilding a city as developed as Kendall - with over 500,000 residents and most of the map developed - was a daunting task, to say the least. I was committed to recreating the city as accurately as I could, so I needed a guide to the old version of the city. Thankfully, SC4 Savegame Explorer has a feature that displays a map of all the lots, buildings, or props in a quad (depending on which subfile you open), so mapping out all of Kendall's lots and transport networks was fairly easy. The hard part was labeling almost all of them, so I knew what to plop where. I also needed to make an accurate subway map, so I referred to the in-game traffic volume data view quite a bit. My final map ended up looking like this: By following this map, I was able to rebuild Kendall exactly as it was. But rather than slavishly recreate every detail, I took this opportunity to make a few improvements to the city. One of those improvements was rebuilding all of the R-3/50 freeway as a RHW (it used to be an overridden Maxis highway). Here are a couple pictures of how that effort turned out: This is the freeway's interchange with Pacifica and Nicholasia Avenues. Based on fan comments, I decided to rebuild this interchange in a trench to minimize the freeway's elevation changes. The new version also keeps the longer offramps grade-separated all the way to their ends, which should improve traffic flow. Further down the R-3/50, I built these overpasses. I ended up having to learn about the RULs the NAM is built on in order to fix a bug that affected the avenue overpass, which led to me becoming a full NAM Team member. I also made a couple new lots to replace temporary layouts. Here's the new Arts Plaza, at the intersection of Puget and Nicholasia Avenues. For the most part, though, I just wanted to get as much of Kendall to look as it once did as I could. I'm pretty satisfied with the results; the new Kendall is as vibrant and busy as the old one was. My efforts even match up across quad borders, as this mosaic shows. I made some improvements to the campus of Royal University, Kendall, as well. The flagship campus of Lower Columbia's federal university system, RUK was founded by King Edward as the Royal College in 1733. This legacy as a former college lives on in the names of College Street (which ends at the campus administration building) and the College Park neighborhood. This is an overview of the whole campus and its surrounding area, facing west. The oldest part of campus is in the middle, with the residential annex at bottom, and several of the university's newer buildings near the top, along with some of the fraternity houses of College Park. The football stadium's parking lot is also partly visible at left. Farther down the mosaic, College Street crosses the channel into the Federal Circle business district. The western half of campus is home to Mikaelslot, one of the university's largest pre-20th-century buildings. Originally built by King Michael I as an alternative to Kendall Palace, Mikaelslot and its grounds were gifted to Royal University by Michael's successor, Brandon I. Although the former palace was quickly used for classes and office space, the palace grounds were neglected until the 1950s, when the university needed to add new facilities. Most of Royal University's science and engineering classes now take place in the buildings that were built on the grounds. The east end of campus is where most of the dormitories are located. This is another area that wasn't originally part of Royal U's campus; it was purchased from the city around 1960, when the student population outgrew the old dorms. Finally, although Lower Columbia is an overwhelmingly Christian nation, it also has a growing population of Muslim immigrants. They recently built the Malkut al-Hijra Mosque on the edge of the Kendall Heights, east of Parliament House. Its construction was controversial, due to its size and prominent position overlooking the city center. It's here to stay, though.- 9 Comments

After an extended hiatus, I'm proud to bring you a selection of photos from Kendall, Nyhaven's nearest major city and the capital of the Federal Kingdom of Lower Columbia. Today, I have four massive mosaics to show you, spanning most of the built-up area of Kendall. Each of them crosses at least one city border and shows areas I've never shown before, so get ready to see more of Kendall than you ever have! This first mosaic, facing east, runs from Parliament House and the Royal Library at the top, past Kendall Palace and the embassies, to the inner suburbs west of the Government Quarter. Fitzsimmons Square the the two residential squares I featured earlier are also visible. Facing south now, we start near Federal Circle, the de facto central business district of Kendall, and follow the transverse arm of the Royal Promenade from the Royal Cathedral to the Palace of Justice. After passing by Justice Park, we come to Port Brunsmjöd, the regional container port, and the marina at the Brunsmjöd village. This north-facing mosaic starts up by the northern embassy district and shows parts of all three embassy neighborhoods, as well as most of the Kendall Palace grounds. Across Gnat Creek, we come to the campus of Royal University, Kendall - the flagship campus of its system. At the bottom is the university's Dukes Stadium and the neighboring University Village. Our last mosaic for today faces west, and it's the longest one I've ever made - so long, in fact, that Photoshop had to shrink it to export it. Starting in some of Kendall's interwar suburbs on the south bank of Gnat Creek, we pass through the western half of Royal University's campus. After visiting the southern embassy district again, we reach the Royal Cathedral before moving on to South Station. Parliament House is just off-screen as we climb the hill that many residents call Flattop, which is home to the capital's largest affordable housing projects. At bottom is the R-50 freeway and its complex interchange with Pacifica and Willamette Avenues.

This is the capital city, Burg die auf Bucht, of the Schwegau, in the Küssellreich. The Gau is dominated by the major island of Tindel and at its western edge, facing the Westmeer, lies the fort. The Kingdom was for a long time a mainly agricultural land; built on the tripple traditions of Gott, König, und Herr (God, King, and Gentry) as the King had actively staved of the encroachment of modernity (and the social upheavals that would come with it). However, upon the death of the old King August II and the succession of his young nephew August III, the Schwegau, which was the most underdeveloped of the all the Gau, was slated to become a beacon of a newly-modern Kingdom. This experiment would need a capital city to befitting its newfound importance. And, with the enthusiastic support of the King and the financial support of the Central Government, the Burd die auf Bucht was built atop the ruins of the old medieval fortress. Designed by Dr. Josef Schleckt, a Gau assembly building was erected, and the other necessities of a government were built around it. The denizens of the Burg live in single-family homes in the suburbs surrounding the old city walls. Many commute into work at one of the many bureaucratic offices surrounding the Central Mall, or commute in from the surrounding small towns and villages along the rails that terminates at the König August II Station. On Fridays and Saturdays (not on Sundays as that would be frowned upon by the religiously-minded), many would take the train, walk the trails, or park near the grounds to attend the local fußball match in hopes of witnessing a victory. The addition of a professional football team to the Schwegau was welcomed with more fanfare than even the new assembly building! In accordance with the wishes of the King, the city holds the benefits of a state-of-the-art opera house and library which supply education, culture, and sophistication worthy of a Gau capital. In keeping with its tradition, a new (but purposely Gothic-looking) National Cathedral was built for the good people of the capital to attend. On Sundays and holidays the religious would surge out of the rail station and bound up the Heiligestraße to have their souls saved. After hearing the sermons preached, many denizens would leave the Cathedral grounds and walk the trails that circumnavigate the city along the old city walls, talking away the morning or stopping to watch their children play on the frequent playgrounds of the Castle Walk. Then, it is time for the good denizens of the Burg to find their ways home and prepare to do it all over again at the start of the next week. -

Today's update will get us around the Capital Hallanen. First of all, I must say thet the city you are about to see is the greatest (and at the same was biggest) I've ever done, for that reason I divide the tour through in more than a couple of entries. As well, through this update I'll explain you a important part of the history of the country, so I hope you don't mind if it too much text, anyway I expect you like it. Let's get on it. ______________________________________________________________________________________ The Crude 18th Night " It was an eighteenth day of september. A monday night. The capital and its ten thousand souls were asleep. In a moment the town alarm awaken up the people without advide, and it was just a matter of a few seconds when the earth begun to crumble. All were trying to get out of their homes as fast as they were able to. The streets were filled by midnight screams. All of us were tryiyng t understand what was happening when the crude nature decided to repeat what it just done, in a bigger scale. The town was screaming from the deepest part of its throat. Reddish and hell-like flame appeare from almost anywhere you see. The town was transformed into ashes." This is just a extract of he ten pages narration made the local newspaper, Paivï News, three days after the disaster, extract that is now sheltered on the National Gallery on Hallanen. This museum dedicated a two story hall for a permanent homage to the disaster of 18/4. (By the way, thanks to Alex_Bervoets for this wonderful BAT). This event is now a clue part on the culture of the republic. And now, you may wonder how did the city rised up? What a good question. Well, Roi Karnen, the mayor and president, leaded a plan called the Hallanen Metro Area, which contemplates three cities: Hallanen, Hallenest (the one of the previous update) and Sud Halle. The plan seeks to build a compact system of cities, connected by a road, rail, metro and bus systems. So the first phase was developed in nearly two years. The almost ten thousand souls who live here before the disaster were moved onto nearby cities, all of them find work on the reconstruction works of the city. After all the hard work, this was the result. (We'll focus more onto the plan in another update). After this brief story of the events of 18/4 and the city rise, our tour begins, in the 18th street. This important road crosses the whole city, including downtown. During the homage made every year in honor to the ones who died on the disaster, the street is closed almost completely. The next stop is the Yldeys Park. If we translate it, it means 'The pride park'. Its one of the only places that survived the earthquake, it only needed just minor quantity of restaurations. Nowadays, it is one of the major symbols of the nations. Here is a larger view of the park. The next stop is just crossing the 18th street, the Chapel of Saint Iley. John Iley was one of the first settlers of the nation and the principal promoter of a equitative social and political system, helping hundreds of communities in the region. Every eighteenth of september, people from all the country filled the chapel and surrounding plazas and streets for hearing the homage of the 18/9 events. Just behind the chapel, we find the fallen cemetary. There is were the ones who died on the earthquake were buried. They were almost a hundred of infortunate souls. It could be considered as a sacred place. After seeing all this icons and memorials, we will go through one more stop. This place is considered one of the major icons of the country, the UN Fountain. (Thanks to Cockatoo for this beautiful BAT). It is between the three main avenues roundabout, it was made in conmemoration of the addition of the republic to United Nations. But above all, it was made for representing the rising of a new, united and strong country, which has now earn the alias of: The Northern Pearl. ____________________________________________________________________________________ So that's all for this update, you'll see the second part very soon. Any feedback and commentaries are completely welcome. Hoping that you are enjoying this journal. Regards, Esteban. ____________________________________________________________________________________ I'll just show you a plus photo of the new train the HATC invested on, enjoy it! Thanks!
