Your Cities- Post Some Photos Here!

Haha nice...wait is it a man or a women on the roof

 

My current city. Still work in progress but it's very well advanced. game is starting to lag badly though.

 

Wow that looks very good and realistic!

 

Thanks guys, maybe this will be my first CJ.
Kipate...actually i think do. Those are just overviews. You mean something like this?

 

Ah okay, i see your point. Thanks for the tip. I don't have any room left in this map, but will surely consider it in another city.
I guess latin expansion and german pack, no collision version, would fit well to that pourpose.
I will actually keep this photo for further inspiration, altough my plans for next city are way different from this concept.

 

All of you guys have nice cities! I hope to see CJs of them one day

 

Thats looking perfect, luis! I prefer those kind of cities the most.

 

My latest city, still in development though, so please don't be too harsh with me

I like it very much Leox. Well chosen buildings and those open areas do feel like a very pleasent city. Hope to see more.

 

Here are some photos of my city which is being built slowly (as well as modding):
Satellite and my plan: (for other pictures see attachments below)

 

Way to go. Lovely city. Lot's of potential.
This will be a great one, from what we can see so far.

 

Looks like a careful plan paul and a lovely city!

 

Looks good so far. Very nice.

@luis diogo, I like the gracious, spacious feel to your layout. I think you could build up the density a bit in the core area and it would still work well.

 

Thanks for the input Veija.
Which core area are you talking about?
The old one or the more modern? Because this last one will definitely have more density.

 

I'm guessing I mean the old one - first photo? You have some nice avenues at good intervals already. Is traffic an issue in that area?

 

Nope, traffic flows pretty well, after placing some bus lines. No metro though.

I do like to play a balanced game and i take into account population satisfaction. Overall satisfaction, with some bonus buildings like Kodak theatre or San francisco Museum, is between 98 to 99% in every class. It's a very good result for a city with 1.3 million people (in the end it will have around 1.5 million).

I managed to get police and leisure with satisfaction between 98 and 99% in every class, which is pretty good since i'm not wasting resources.
Education is 100% in all classes, so it's clearly over budgeted.
Health is above 90% in al classes, which is pretty good.

My biggest problem is fire protection (97,88,84,79 - unskilled, skilled, executives, elites). I can't seem to raise it further. Any tips?
And off course retail is a problem with elites. Right now is 98,96,92,86, still a very good result, taking into account it's on green in resources panel.

 

@luis diogo. I'd say that's a good result! I like to play a balanced city, too. I've found that fire satisfaction is like business hotels and retail - unless you're actually lacking adequate coverage, dissatisfaction is caused by traffic. As in, fire trucks can't get through ... I'm guessing your fire stations are effected by the bit of traffic blockage you have. I'd think about widening those two east-west cross streets, and the diagonal one on the right that looks blocked. I think your satisfaction levels for retail aren't bad at all. It's a great city.
