New Web of Roads

After learning that increasing infrastructure of freeway, avenues and roads can improve commute time but also increases air pollution that make Sims and commercial offices to go away, I decided to reduce streets to minimum and make public transportation based on subway the main way to move in the city.

I also wanted independent cells, I mean not depending on neighbour's jobs. So the city must have areas for industry, commerce and homes.

The result was a area with a industrial area large enough to provide jobs, and increase commerce demand. In this case the Industry area is in the borders of map a ring in yellow with a whit equivalent to 1/8 of side length. That area will hold Airports, Energy Plants, Garbage Burners, and Heavy Industry.


A ring of trees limits the industrial area and the areas of commerce (blue) and habitation (light green). the hole area is uniformly divided in blocks of 4X4, 4X6, 6X6, 3X4 and 3X6 with only roads, no avenues, no freeways, no railroads. In the picture, we can see that habitation areas are arranged in 8 side groups of blocks, at the center of which hospitals, schools, firefighter stations, police stations, libraries, museums, high schools, colleges, and all public buildings able to fit, will be located. in the center of commerce areas, blue ones, police stations, cemmentaries, large public buildings like central library, and opera etc.
