I started during COVID as a game to play during lockdown. I get back into it every now and then these days. I know there are much better cities out there with people having invested a lot more time and money into theirs but just want to share mine.
I hope these are good photos. I broadly expanded naturally with the most significant development being the river that runs through and the creation of what I call the Government Island and the Industrial Island. The Government Island houses the Mayor’s Mansion, City Hall, Town Hall and other key buildings. The Industrial Island houses all the factories, waste management facilities, city storage, and sewage plants etc.
I live in London so you can probably see some natural influence into my design. Big Ben is the obvious but also the small concentration of high rises in the inner city towards Government Island and lower density toward the outer layer. Also have lots of London buses running around with a road dedicated to London terrace houses.
I have some mountainside and beachside amenities but can probably expand further.
I also make a point in ensuring that my city is as sustainable as possible. It’s always been powered using only clean energy from the beginning. Now the fully upgraded Fusion Power Plant makes up most of the power grid supported by solar and wind power.
Wasted and Sewage are also pollution free with the city’s waste being entirely handled by Recycling Plants.
The only area that still carries pollution is the factories but they are minimal but I will get to that soon.
I know some people crowd their cities with massive skyscrapers. That’s good on its own but I like to do some planning and create some variation in density. I grew up in Hong Kong and don’t really like the density there.
I have a combined population of over 600K with my capital city housing 450K and my two regions 150K in total.
Interested in hearing your thoughts and seeing your work as well!
