Thanks dear :)

I really like this in-depth review, let me defends my work and reply to your comments :)

First of all, your city by far looks more American than anything else. I'm a European, and I don't see any clearly European element.

What i've noticed so far in many of european towns and tried to apply here:
- Forests surrounded by Farms in outter areas
- Seperate Blocks
- Curvy Roads
- Generally low population
- Generally short story buildings
- Public walking areas
I Avoided historic districts, i'm not very good at them. i know this is a must in most european and middle eastern towns.
- I tried to simulate from middle east the general mixture between residential and business areas
- Highways usually have more exists for smaller roads

Second, in my opinion, try to focus on micromanagement. You placed these (residential) suburbs all for themselves, there's no connection between them, they look like being separated from each other. And you also placed them in squares, without any curves in between. That's partly a bit inefficient to me.
- Thats correct, i did this on porpose. it should give towns a higher looks of luxury in my opinion :)
....................................................................
Also, I'm missing school complexes, shopping malls next to the highways, and other important buildings (gas stations, post offices, logistics centers, hospitals, public sports fields, and so on...). These are the buildings that you could place in between your residential suburbs.
-There are tonnes of them, i only selected random locations to take pictures :)
- Plus, usually they are (Hospitals and Schools) not located in pre-defined location in euro towns, instead they're mixed within Residential blocks
....................................................................
Third, you cannot simply leave out the coastline. I was like "woah, big city with huge ass beach somewhere, I want to go there on vacation and relax in the sun.", but there's simply no beach.
Also, you again did not create some roads that align to the coastline, why is that? Yeah, curvy roads are harder to place, but nonetheless you sometimes need them.
- There is in fact. sadly not clear in the photos. but you're right, this cold rainy island doesn't have enouh beaches :)
....................................................................
Fourth, I don't really think you need a metro in your city. A bus system with rapid transportation lanes would have been good. And you have the space for this BRT system.
- i have only two lanes, one around the Business area. and the other takes people straigh from the far airport into downtown. all other neighborhoods are covered by busses
....................................................................
Fifth, regarding realism, the downtown, the port and the industrial sites deserve some overhaul. I know it's difficult, I mean, I had to learn building realistic industrial estates for myself. But it's worth doing it :)
- You're absolutly right, i'll do that :)

Thanks dear, i think you're right :)

Many thanks dear :)

Thats a Metro station in the back :D
