Welcome in my new Mayors' Diary. I will present here City of Canterbury, located in a fictional Province of New West England.
After several weeks (!) of preperations, I'm finally ready to present my new city. It will be loosely based on London, New York and other American, Canadian, Australian, German as well as Polish cities. In the first update I'm going to present Docklands - modern office district located in the eastern parts of Canterbury.

Welcome to SC4D and your very first post here is an impressive one. Great Start!!
I like how nice and crowded the city and I can see you have made great use of the NAM.
I look forward to seeing more very soon.
Robin :thumbsup:
Nice start, really like the downtown. I haven't had a downtown like that since way back with my first city journal Cambellsport, six years ago! Great flag too!
Great start so far... I think it resembles Canary Wharf quite well ;D Have you ever been there?
Xander
Fantastic start, very nice work!!!

Docklands is a modern office area in the eastern part of Canterbury. The docks were formerly part of the Port of Canterbury, at one time the world's largest port. They have now been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.themaritimegallery.co.uk%2FAssets%2Fpre1900%2Flarge%2FIMGP1588.jpg&hash=8bf271503913dddca2ef873133f4f2bb2da6f741)
In the Middle Ages, ships tended to dock at small quays in the present-day Isle of Cats. When British Empire increased its trade with overseas territories, the quays become insufficient for large number of vessels. In 1802, the first new dock was opened, followed by other projects completed in the 1805-1830 period. In addition, several warehouses and working-class homes were build in the area.
During World War II Docklands were converted into naval port and supply warehouse with humanitarian aid and arms support for Allies. In 1962, construction of the Newport was started, finished in 1968. Old docks as no longer needed were finally closed and abandoned in 1981.
In 1994, new era for Docklands has started. First line of Docklands Light Railway was opened and City of Canterbury announced new redevelopment project for the area. Today, thousands of Canterburians work in this area, but in a middle of the day, when everyone are at work, Docklands look deserted.

rooker1: Thanks. I'm so happy you like it. :) Sometime ago I had a CJ at Simtropolis for a short while.
packersfan:[/b] Thanks. I love to create dowtown areas. The flag is based on Griffin from Pomeranian flag. Pomerania is the region in Poland, where I live. You can find more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeranian_Voivodeship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeranian_Voivodeship).
WC_EEND: I have been in London several times. In September I went to Canary Wharf. It's one of my favourite parts of London. :)
Tomas Neto: Thanks. I hope you will like further updates as well. :)
Good work (and rather quick, I must say), I really like the addition of RL pictures. I think that Norman Foster's Jubilee line station at Canary Wharf is one of the best looking tube stations out there, and guess what, I've been to London (and Canary Wharf) in September as well
Gorgeous start! You're building a very impressive urban area so far!
Nice start! &apls I am also preparing some stuff to start my MD. ;) I look forward to seeing next updates.
Nice to see Polish community being so active here! Your MD is really impressive, and I love how you loosely base it around the real places. This Docklands area is great, and you even got it to such details as Canary Wharf Underground station and DLR! Remarkable job, my friend!
I could only propose using more European looking streets [clickie] (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1302). While the default textures with yellow lines between look good, I think that the pic would profit from installing it. And don't worry - it's compatible with widened roads I see you like using so much. ;)
Overall, it's a pretty nice start! Hope to see more from you! :thumbsup:
Piotr
This looks really good &apls
I really enjoy the way your water and land areas fit together with the nice use of those seawalls and pedmalls. Your use of NAM and street placement is nice and the RL pictures contribute a lot as well :thumbsup:

Great update, very nice this storm!!!
Very good work!
Instead of the flood, we need 14 inches of snow!
Look forward to more.
I think they are really hoping for a sunny day :P

Hello!
You're off to a fantastic start here, my friend! Your skyline looks great! I do have a question for you, though--Where can I find the angled, trapezoidal-like building in this picture?

Isle of Cats is a residential neighbourhood and a former island, located south of Docklands. It was a home for hundreds of people working in The Port of Canterbury. Currently it is a middle class residential area covered by several trees, which protect the district from flooding. The district took its name from wildcats living in this place in the past.

A very nice effort underway here. In particular, it is great to see a MDer willing to take on the challenges of working with the limited content currently available for winter scenes. This is an area that has tremendous potential, and big breakthroughs are only now finally coming along.
Canterbury goes on the return visit list, that's for sure.

Thanks. I hope I will not let you down. Because of this limited content you mentioned, there will be no more winter scenes, at least not anytime soon. However, this MD has a lot to offer, so the greatest updates are still to come. Winter updates were part of the Holiday Edition. Special editions will be very important part of this MD. I have already presented Flood and Holiday Editions and several more are being planned. ;)

Great updates! :thumbsup:
I really like those blue & brick high-rise apartments and the TK Max building. I wonder what they look like at night.... Can I ask where you got them?
The low-rise apartment neighborhoods look great too, especially with the tree-filled areas you've put in the middle of the blocks. Just a tip, one thing I've found in the game is that the lower the height seawalls rise from the water the better they look.
Looking forward to more ;)

EDIT: Thanks for the links! :thumbsup:

Thanks for a tip! TK Maxx is a part of Willow Place shopping center and you can find it HERE: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19197 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19197), brick low-rise here: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20339 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20339) and high-rise - hmm... I have no idea. However check out these buildings. Look similar: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=25225 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=25225), http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20070 (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20070). ;)
Great job. I really like those suburbs you posted recently!
Nice update. :)
The hi-rises are Frogface's Garibaldi Arms available over on the STEX.
Great updates thus far! The suburban areas look good.
Lovely &apls
