San Marcos Puerto

As you know Larna is mostly an inland city, and it has a huge industry which employs large number of Sims and generates office jobs. Unless Larna had a huge rail  system to connect to Cihuatlan, and to give way to exportations, most industrials would feel stocked in their expansionist spirit. But, Costal cities did not want to see their environments destroyed due to a huge  traffic of cargo ships

The only way to help this situation was to create an artificial port inland in some of the territorial reserves of Larna in order to allow to industrials to have comerce and to expand their markets. That way San Marcos Puerto came to be the first Artificial Port of Larna.

 
San Marcos was made by dragging large scale channels forming three large islands devoted to serve to maritime trading. Infraestructure is currently under construction but the most concluded terminal is the one for containers.
 

Current View of Larna

Long time since the last post, I am so sorry to have abandoned this blog. Next picture show Larna Urban Area with the new  Charles V Airport.

I also have worked in coast cities, I have to recognize that it is easier for me to work with the orthogonal model of urbanization of Larna's core urban area, than with the some times cahotic model of urbanization of costal cities, however the results are great in both cases.

 

Updating in Simtropolis

Hi there, Larna is now to be shown in Simtropolis, Yet this blog will remain updating.

This are some advances that I have had in my cities lately.


The next picture shows Cabo, this city is 631,000 sims by now, I think that I can´t getmore sims because of the small territory able to be developed. I even had to put the airport up to the mountain because of the lacke of more plain land.

This other city is Ocotlan, it is near to start its development, it has many canals, by now I am wondering how to comunicate those canals to the bay.

Near Cabo I am developing Tomatlan, I think that It is going to be a city with High Tech Industry, Commertial areas and Habitational areas. In this case the picture shows the Hidroelectric plants.

We achieved 25 million sims in Larna. we are now moving to th coast. Until now Larna is too flat, yet we are making a coast and river to help the region to be more interesting.





Of course tha I will have to make some changes in the terrain mod because this mountains ar very dry, and they need a bit of snow in ther tops. I think that neear the top there will be a pine forest, and near the coast I want a rain forest.



This is the tallest mountain that I have made.

This is the newest city in the region San Teotonio, it is now 1,000,000 sims

San Anatolio

San Anatolio is the most populated city of the Metropolitan Area of Larna. In this city I have applied the best practices that I have learned during the process of construction of the other habitational cities of the area. Straight highways, straigth roads, bus stations in every corner, semi - suway - rail, abundant green areas, good education, good health coverage, large industrial surrounding area in 20 small cities, etc. this has come to give us more than 2.8 million sims as anatolians.

This is the size of Larna:
