      Irony is he's not doing a good job on this, although professionals don't do well at all, either. High volume cargo terminals shouldn't go right next to each other because it will just jam up the roads. Neither should pumps for water (although that's forgivable with the mechanics of the game).

    Lovely addition to the city, great build. If you do the transit hub, maybe an IT cluster around it to help justify the need for the transit hub. At the same time a really big city park in that spot would do amazing for the land values around it. Hard call. Anyway great video as always.

    @navidson1290 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    After watching (I think) all of your Cities Skylines videos over the past few months, I think your next challenge should be to build a city organically/with advanced planning. What I mean is something more closely resembling real life. No rampant terraforming, no deleting entire neighborhoods/blocks to build something new or ripping up roads that already existed, no awkward one way road systems that play well in the game but would never exist in reality. It would be awesome to watch a city grow the way they do out here - with imperfections, uneven terrain, and obsolete buildings & systems being replaced gradually if at all. And also with a long term plan that doesn't involve temporary iterations that will never exist in the final city plan. That would be awesome to see! Just a suggestion. 😁

    Do both? Hook up a decent network hub onto the monorail line next to today’s new housing strip, then merge the other road networks into that(reposition the roundabout to be in line with the intake of the new network hub), and place the park around the new network with bikes and paths leading to either the new hub or to a central park/entertainment area. Give them a scenic drive in and out of major networking, so to speak.

  • @chipband8812
    @chipband8812 ปีที่แล้ว

    For the central area, both ideas are great. A central park like NYC and central transit hub like Mumbai! All the infrastructure like train lines and roads can go underground and from above it will look like a huge park.

  • @L1PTON
    @L1PTON ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would vote for the central park. As your city is growing you will find a better spot for a traffic hub and make it even bigger (public transport & cargo, train, airport, ships etc.)

  • @Son_of_Mandalore
    @Son_of_Mandalore ปีที่แล้ว

    Putting a big park in the middle would look awesome, if you did it could you have below ground transit hubs or is just subways? 🤔 There are plenty of cities in Germany where roads go under rather than over, you could have trams go through the park though, and stop at fountain spots or plaza's.
    Make it look green and surround the park with the green tall buildings. Go full 12 Monkeys 😁

  • @SKSkronos

    Having a transit hub, I think would make it look crowded, while a nice designed park in the middle of your city would look like a gem stone on a piece of jewelry. Imagine living in a big city and having access to a huge park with trees and trails to enjoy. That's a city I would live in. Not sure about what you can build, but if you can get a big water fountain or monument to have smack down the middle. Maybe some Terra-forming thrown in the mix, could spice it up.
    I think with your expertise you would will make something great no matter what you decide to construct.

  • @samuel_17t

    Please do a giant park in the middle of the city. That area is too nice to spoilt by a train station. Probably when the city expands, you can figure out a space for the transit system

    you should always make the hadron collider because it instantly makes everyone highly educated

    I actually don't see why not have both. :) Push the train station/metro/complex to one edge of the space, then use the rest as a park - it should still be pretty big.

    How about doing both? You could make a transit hub in the middle of a park. There won't be much traffic there since it's easier for people to take transit if there are no busy destinations in the immediate surroundings. This means your trams and buses will have an easy time getting around. You could probably use low capacity roads with bike lanes as well. And if you place down some actual park buildings or make a nature reserve or something, you'll actually have people taking transit to get there and walking around in a really nice environment. Perhaps it's worth it to sprinkle in a few shops as well, but not too many.
