Update 17 - Progress in the City

The population is beginning to increase once again as progress is made in the urban renewal project. Things are getting better - and this is made obvious by the various mid and high rise hubs popping up across the city, massive expansion of retail, and even a new shopping mall. Let's take a look.


Once nothing but farmland, this area has been approved for apartment and condominium development.
I realize there are boxes hanging from the cranes, this is NOT a dependency issue, it's meant to be like that.


The primary CBD is located on the west side. The surrounding houses will be converted to mid rise apartments and high rise condominiums in the near future. Ferry service has been stopped temporarily because of the new development and residents are encouraged to use RailLink until the new bridge crossing the river is opened.


An example of one of the high-rise pods across the city.


The abandoned suburbs of the east side are being redeveloped. New parks, sound walls, schools, and bike trails made the east side much more attractive.


Despite the unfinished road connector and RailLink dealing with increasing traffic amounts, people from all over the region visit this shopping mall.


That'll be all for now. Replies coming in the next update! :P
