A savegame submitted for City Planner Plays City Building Competition

An island rich with ore was founded near the equator in the late 1800s. Thus a city was made in order to extract the ore and process it in the island. The city was built with Tropische Stad concept, a derivative work of Garden City concept in mind. As time goes on, the city also grows and developed tourism sector in order to gain extra income from the beautiful island.

The core part of the city plan is a Central Park located in the heart of the Historic City Centre. From that point the city made an axis line toward the mountain and build important governmental building in straight line. From then on offices and commercials were built and gathered around it too. At each end of the path originating from the Central Park a landmark was put in place for visual impact.

At some distance there was an industrial district with simple city plan focused on the functionality to house the industrial and mine worker. The first industrial complex located at the port was still preserved even though nowadays the main ore processing was done outside the port complex.

Anticipating that one day the ore mine is going exhausted, the city developed some part of the island for tourism. Hotels and airport were created in support of that development. The development is focused on the seaside but the tourism plan also utilize the preserved cultural and building heritage from when the city was first built. There are still some empty land ready to be developed when the future comes and the city needed to be expanded again.
