I'm a plop fiend. At least half these buildings were placed before I unpaused the game for the first time. 90% were plopped by the time I was done. But the sims liked it. Congestion is reasonable on Z low thanks to extensive mass transit, and no red at all since I switched to Z medium. The tile has 1.46 million Sims so far, and 800k commercial jobs; only 175k industrial since the tile next to it is a huge industrial zone/port complex.

This is the entire Southern Skyscraper Forest (so far) and the only area of the city finished. Look at the population  .

Here's a picture of a smaller downtown area I was working on.

One from a smaller city I've been working on

[io_bg]

mikeski - looks nice, however there's quite a lot of repetition of buildings!
BuildingUp - great shot, I really like the photoshopping. I think you should try your luck with this one in the Picture competition!

Here are two pics from me





You can find more in my MD (link in my signature)

Some pictures of the center of Tokai.
About 400,000 people work in the CBD of Tokai.

If some part of this big CBD are still too much offices ghetto, I trie to create an active CBD mixing shops and skyscrapers.

well~ hi everyone
long time no see

preparing for an exam these days, and got little time with my city.
and wish when getting through the test, i could take sometime to make a few updates, at the beginning of april.
and if time permits, maybe a MD of Christchurch can be considered too. anyway that's all depends.

However, the Christchurch is developing all the time, in despite of how busy the mayor was
here is a shot from the city, and hope you love it 

3 months later, It comes to summer already...

How absolutely gorgeous, Whale! Might I ask what that large building in the lower-right corner is (the one with the large courtyard in the center)?

[canyonjumper]

Wow! I am very impressed with Christchurch! Nice job!

Here's a section of my downtown so far. I'm still working on the city. Also the other pictures are great!

Two more from me

Where'd you get the building with the El-Rail through it?

[noahclem]

That should be the "Rail thru building Bulowstrasse" by Odd From Sweden which you can find on the STEX here http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16352

Great shots everyone!

[kodlovag]

Very nice shots mikeski. I really interested in the building with the girl on its side. It would fit well to my w2w development.

[SeanSC4]

That's the Applebox....it's available on the STEX.

Oh my goodness mong0ose, your pictures are incredibly magnificent and absolutely beautiful!   

[Lukis1994]

Mine isnt as big as yours, but maybe it will... or not 

ANYWAYS here it is, downtown Radeskiimachk  ( Rad-desk-ee-mach-k ) i know, what a weird name

[kevinaj]

Not all of the Central Skyscraper forest, but a considerable amount. One thing I should point out; this is a new California City, since my laptop with the better one died completly, so I'm using the one in my PC. Population is 181,000. Its not bad, but highest i've had in a single tile was over 2,000,000!

Has a major highway, a regional airprot, and a spectacular cityscape.
EDIT: Airport, not airprot (lol ).
