Infrastructurist haha it’s the glass building! Keep dropping Kendrick Easter eggs and see if an asset editor can make custom buildings for this great city
I think you are the best Cities Skylines YTer because you are almost the only one who tells stories with your cities and you let the community decide! Thats why I am a subscriber since you had just 600 subs. Well done and thank for the great videos!
Thank you for starting this city! It definitely highlights some of the key issues that cities currently face. That's why I want to go into urban planning. Cities in the US have been plagued from government and private projects that were short sighted and only saw the trends of that day when building those projects. This series will help bring awareness towards the subject and I hope will help others explore the issues surrounding this subject. We need more people understanding these things or else we will never be able to fix the mistakes of the past generations. Well done for having so much realism in this city! I really hope you continue this well into the future!
Ya I really wanna go into urban planning as well because I'm basically fed up with the way the government manages urban projects and suburban expansions. Do you know any good books about these types of issues?
World Observer Im not much of a book person. Instead, I just read a lot of articles and watch a lot of videos about city planning. I highly recommend the RUclips channel, City Beautiful. It is very high quality and talks about these kinds of issues from the perspective of an actual city planner. Also, the TED Talks and any other talk by Jeff Speck are great to watch. One of my favorite ones is his talk with the city of (Oslo I want to say but could be wrong. Its in Sweeden anyways.). Its pretty long, but is worth watching if you are into things like this.
Detroit is a slum city with impoverished people, rusty cars, crumbling buildings, and crime. I found this on Google --> "A significant percentage of housing parcels in the city are vacant, with abandoned lots making up more than half of total residential lots in large portions of the city. With at least 70,000 abandoned buildings, 31,000 empty houses, and 90,000 vacant lots, Detroit has become notorious for its urban blight."
When you get to building large suburban neighbourhoods, I think adding a few U.S. flags hanging up on poles in the front yards of like 5% or 10% of the houses would be a nice, realistic touch. Especially since you're in the South.
@@Bhq870 No it's not. But America isn't nationalist. Crazy how so many people never experienced patriotism in their country/community, I think that's what sets aside USA and makes it such a strong nation. I mean patriotism was a core value in the US before it was independent.
So glad we got our power back! I would have been so mad if I missed the first episode. I love how the downtown is shaping up. You're really good at making the buildings flow and look natural. Working with the hillside is also really cool.
Wow this looks great! Really love the theme and intro setting the pace, especially since I am super interested in US cities and relating topics such as parking requirements, induced demand, sprawl etc. Actually just finished a book called "walkable city, how downtown can save American cities, one step at a time" by Jeff speck. Very interesting stuff!
I remember when you only have 200 subscriptions, and now, your quality of work and number of subscribers are very up.in the sky, I feel very proud of you and your channel, thanks for making this videos
My god, I love these videos, I've been researching on American cities, the suburbs, city life, student life because I plan to have a future there and your representation of cities just gives me good vibes, loving it man! :D
Please give them a bad baseball team called "the emperor's", adding to the broken dreams flavor of the city :D (bc of empire drive and it probably being an example of a broken dream of a vivid downtown and it being the fictional starting location of the team's stadium) love this series already! Looking forward to the next episode! :)
Remember to build absolutely tons of parking everywhere, even right in the centre of the city core. It's amazing how much parking their is in cities across the US, especially in sun belt cities such as Houston and Atlanta
You know, apart from your excellent design capabilities, what I really like here is these nuggets of history you infuse your town with. Absolutely brilliant work!
I've only been watching your builds recently but have powered through the Japan series and I'm really excited for this one too. I think what makes your builds a cut above others is the imagined story of the place that gives it more life and personality. Keep doing what you're doing @Infrastructurist - it's awesome. Looking forward to more of this series. :D
I've already watched the whole series of this monstrosity of a build. I would definitely love to see more content like this. You have just earned a subscriber.
a tip, southern US cities inner cities/downtowns have row homes and semi-detached houses. But they do have a lot of detached homes, bungalow style homes within its city limits. A lot of the houses along the Georgia and Carolina coasts don't have basements because of the flooding and sea levels. Just something to note. Looking forward to this series.
As a frequent commuter down 95, I'm glad Crescent exists where it does. Suggestion: Commuter rail. A city this size could use some. If Crescent is a former industrial powerhouse, there's bound to be plenty of freight railroads not currently being used. Some of it probably runs near some neighbourhoods as opposed to industrial areas. If we were to repurpose those tracks for use as commuter rail and install stations, I think it could work.
If it's a realistic southern coastal city, I wouldn't recommend a commuter (or suburban) rail system, an extensive rapid transit system is more realistic. In the 1970's, the US gave gov't funds to the District of Columbia, Miami, Baltimore, Atlanta and Los Angeles to build a subway/rapid transit system (which is why the MARTA is similar to the WMATA in style and even rail cars and why MTA Maryland, Miami-Dade TA and LACMTA have similar systems), which is researchable. Two cities that missed out on the funding were Kansas City and Seattle. But in this fictional world, we can say that Crescent City was granted funds to build a rapid transit system in the region, similar to Atlanta's MARTA or more so similar to Miami's modern L train, since the sea level in Crescent, GA has to be taken into effect.
If you would like the actual location in Georgia which is south of Savannah and north of Jacksonville it will be Brunswick GA because it's 40 miles to Savannah and 40 miles to Jacksonville.
I think you should build a private housing zone that was developed for wealthy people to invest into that was built in the 1910s, alothough, after decades of brain storming, council leaders couldn't solve the problem that left them empty only to be sold on for a profit to other wealthy businessmen who would keep them empty and sell to another person years later for a profit. After 60 years the council then start developing near the area and create a state company that rents out flats to the less wealthy. They form this company to allow investors to buy stocks in the company and to invest in the company to create more revenue from the city. As the years go by the council buy back properties that they had built originally for investors to buy in the 1910's. Today they're now high quality accommodation hidden within seemingly abandoned / to old to hold any value building for the architects of the "Crescent Estate initiative" to live in. Hidden away from the public there should be secret parks and service for the councillors to enjoy.
Lovely! Like the floating tooltips overview, really puts the whole thing in perspective. Also, it'd be great if you made a cinematic showcase for your japanese project, I feel the construction vids don't do the entire city justice.
It's so realistic because most US towns/cities are like this. The downtown area is trying to survive but can't hold on any longer. Also next episode, there should be a huge section of middle-class housing and apartments along both sides of a major highway extending far and wide. There are a few places like that in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington) Metroplex in Texas.
I can say that the city being in Georgia is a great choice from seeing the relatively low amount of parking lots compared to other american cities like Denver, Houston and La because Savannah but its in Georgia and on the east coast the cities like Atlanta, Raleigh, Norfolk, Charleston and Jacksonville seem to have been saved from major down town demolishing in the name of parking lots. It happened a lot in the west coast due to small businesses losing customers to suburbs and eventually selling the down town shops which led to them becoming parking lots today.
Currently, Raleigh's population is exploding. City planners are going back to square one and rethinking their formula. In the past 2-3 years, the number of modern highrises and apartments have exploded with an emphasis on keeping plenty of commercial space on the bottom. In short, Raleigh is on track to becoming a super city in the next few years, and as someone going into the field of residential and commercial design, its exciting. That's why I'm going to start a project in city skylines dedicated to the kind of growth the Raleigh triangle area is experiencing.
I can't believe I missed the first episode! The noreaster decided to selectively knock down a tree on the internet cable, while leaving the rest of the power line intact... I have to watch this in McDonald's too..
Great job! I have an idea for a future build: While this is interesting, it would be nice to see some radically other projects like eastern european cities. It would be a challenge because of how different to everything you've done it is. These cities have large planned (often decaying) neighbourhoods with standartised design buildings of flats. Also often 2 story wooden architecture is found even in city centers as remains of late 19th century life under russian empire. These cities have dense and somewhat wealthy cores with most buildings being ~6 story from early 1900s before ww1 ended the building boom. There is a different situation in manufacturing aswell- as the workforce is cheaper (than w. Europe) to employ there is a rise in soft manufacturing, but almost no hard industry is found due to the lack of natural rescourses. Outside the city there are some pastures and agricultural farming. Suburbs do not start, most often, immediately after the city's borders end, but there is some sprawl around neighbouring villages. Even then it is usually low-density. Also suburbs are almost never pre-planned larger projects by a large real-estate developer. I think this insight provides, perhaps, an interesting perspective and a challenge. Note: I based my observations from city of Riga.
Yeah actually the eastern European city thing has become the most frequent request, and i am always up for a challenge so i think it's likely that i will attempt something like that sometime, implementing many of the features you mention. Hard to tell when!
Which means you're like 10 to 75 miles away from a naval nuclear base. So uhhh... yeah there was also said to be a unknown lost nuke just .5 mile off the coast of Savannah.
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I don't play this game myself, but since I was a kid I have always dreamed of a way to visualize citybuilding through any medium other than my own head--the fact that platforms like this exist is nothing short of a gift. I noticed the skyline resembles that of Dallas, was this deliberate on your part?
Hey Man! I love this! Awesome job on this, and all the detail. I really loved the little tour at the end, kinda cool. But I’ll tell you one thing. I really don’t want to live there!
Great to see this series start. It's also good to see you''ve already picked a location for this city. That makes it easier to discuss this cities history and development. I guess the Altamaha wildlife management area will have to move. One thing considering the location of the raiway. This railway cuts the city centre off of the river, which is possible if the railway was built after the riverside areas lost their importance. This could be the case if riverside activities moved further downstream, a common development. However, you'd still see remains of these riverside activities, road layouts at the very least. Do you have any ideas about filling in the riverside area between the river and the railway?
Good input. I had something like that in mind when placing the three small streets that break out from the big avenue closest to the riverfront. I imagine the rail came a long time ago though, so there isn't much leftover. The placement of the rail of course constitutes an unfavorable situation for the city, as it makes the riverfront much less attractive as a selling point. I have already planned a future vote where this will be something that might get dealt with.
Don't mean to be ungrateful but is there any chance you could publish the map you're working from btw love that you published an assets list, makes our lives a lot easier to follow along.
@@jakubwasilewski9708 it's a custom one he made himself and seemingly never uploaded it to the workshop. Considering he's gone AWOL probs not gonna get it I'm afraid
I wish I was able to build city’s likes this but I’m on console and am unable to build with mods so I’m stuck with the vanilla assets and I don’t have the skill and patience you do
So pumped to see where this goes! One thing, shouldnt all your (disgusting) parking lots have pass throughs at the end? Otherwise cars would have to reverse all the way back and out. Dont know why it bothered me so much.
I'm curious about what cities you'll primarily be drawing inspiration from. For example, New York, Atlanta, St. Louis, Baltimore, and other highly segregated "eastern" cities, might all fit together for the narrative being told here. I take it this city is built with our current year in mind? Because some concepts of near-futurism, such as mega-highways running straight overtop poor/black neighborhoods would fit with your description, such as you might see in the more recent Fallout installments, or in parts of Chicago with the L. Looking forward to future installments~
Main inspiration is Atlanta, as well as some of the major Texan cities. Mainly because of their odd mix of land usage in downtown areas. I knew i didn't want to draw on New York as i don't want to use too much of the Brooklyn/Manhattan collection. The downtown area is not meant to be a very populated place compared to cities like Philly, Boston, New York etc. About the highways; they have done tremendous damage in Crescent (the interstate "loop" built around downtown) which i will touch on more.
Oh trust me, i would love to have unique songs for every video, but with 3-5 songs for almost all of my +75 releases, that doesn't seem feasible. I've had plenty of troubles with finding music that i am allowed to use without getting strikes and trouble with YT. Sometimes i get it wrong and usually don't remove said song but instead let the video become demonitized to not ruin the viewers experience; i.imgur.com/oIMzKtP.png
Nice, do you have any plans related towards sports entertainment? Instead of a Major league team it could be some local basketball/football league, or maybe a Baseball AAA/AA affiliate. Maybe some local auto racing track or even horse track built in/around some city/state fairground
hey! I just discovered your fantastic work on cities skylines ! it's really amazing cause you had so much with your comments. What map do you use for this serie? Was the highxay network included or not? Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work
I really wish you would voiceover your videos. Although my English level is near perfect, I do take longer than the average American to read. Even in my own language I'm considered a slow reader. And so as to not pause the video and be able to concentrate on what's going on, this is my *personal* request. I hope other individuals have also expressed this wish to you in the past and hope you will indeed read my comment and consider it. I love your work thus far and continue to follow
May I ask, how do you get NO errors at all, and manage all this? Also what are your computer specs? Getting a 2,000$ computer, just want to know if it's worth buying that one, or choosing a different one.
How do you do it? How do you stay so creative while recording this? I've tried many times, had a couple successful runs, but everytime I try to record this game I just get so creatively blocked. Is there any advice you could offer?
Let urban planning and cities become integral hobbies in your life, allowing you to find enjoyment in spending hours on google maps, haha. For real though, you could try to replicate areas from google maps as a start. By doing so, you'll slowly but surely pick up on trends and common practices in urban planning for whatever area/country/theme you are checking out. This will enable you to build realistic looking areas without having to use any references. For instance, i spend a good deal of time looking at Atlanta before starting this project, just to grasp the overall look of it.
Infrastructurist I live near Indianapolis and I've been wanting to recreate it for a long time now. Its almost perfect for a midsized city build. Thanks so much, this will really help me in the long run.
Back to my roots.. Btw, there's a not so subtle Kendrick easter-egg. Who points it out first?
I want to say that Kendrick had a MLK Jr. Avenue, but that's a guess.
Infrastructurist Make the river look more swampy And put some more magnolia trees
Infrastructurist That same all-glass skyscraper was also used in Kendrick... that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it.
So @Infrastucturist will this series be a pure follow-up or we might expect some fictional areas?
Infrastructurist haha it’s the glass building! Keep dropping Kendrick Easter eggs and see if an asset editor can make custom buildings for this great city

Amazing stuff! Reminds me so much of Detroit (one of my favourite cities). Looking forward to this :)
Your a legend my man
Detroit will resurrect again🙌
I don’t think Detroit should be one of you favorite cities man.
It's my flavorite too
Detroit is a slum city with impoverished people, rusty cars, crumbling buildings, and crime.
I found this on Google --> "A significant percentage of housing parcels in the city are vacant, with abandoned lots making up more than half of total residential lots in large portions of the city. With at least 70,000 abandoned buildings, 31,000 empty houses, and 90,000 vacant lots, Detroit has become notorious for its urban blight."
I love the look of the empty lots 😋 nice job bro😌
Hey I know you!
When you get to building large suburban neighbourhoods, I think adding a few U.S. flags hanging up on poles in the front yards of like 5% or 10% of the houses would be a nice, realistic touch. Especially since you're in the South.
This is so true lmao. Every house in my street except one has got a flag hanging.
Nationalism is great!
@@Bhq870 No.... not really.

Georgia represent! But, you're going to need way more churches to make this a true Georgia city. haha
True! Definitely need some older ones also
Wrong part of the country. South's gonna be baptist, not Catholic or Episcopal.
JAXONcreed and a lot of land for farmland and lots of oak trees.
Macon GA in the house!

Amazing work, just buttiful, continue like that, looking you from France 😊🇫🇷
Yay! One of the only times an assets collection was included!
NEW YEAR NEW ME NOWHATIMSAYIN
do you know how to make the vanilla roads yellow like in the video?
Been looking forward to this since the preview!!!!!!
Whole new level of building, cinematics, planning city and creating a story... We got this, Mr.Infrastructurist.
Not the first time, but you nailed it.
Music, timelapse speed, cinematics = perfect.
Amazing building, and I love tje text boxes as always
Another excellent start! I normally don't like CBDs but you really make it look real and not crammed full of adjacent highrises. Splendid stuff.
I love the music you use in your videos!!
Omg I live in Atlanta and this looks so much like a Georgia city.
Well glad to hear that, i did find a lot of inspiration from looking at Atlanta.

I think a elevated metro would be good, just one line, like if it was not finished and kinda abandoned
It‘s amazing how you create a big realistic looking area with not that many timespending detailing!
Nice city this looks modern europe got old districts i like american citys
BTW, I looked up McIntosh County, Georgia, and there is a town called Crescent there. Right off of Ga Hwy 99 and Susie Baker Drive.
This is incredible! Keep it going bro I love your videos
I can't believe I missed the first episode! The noreaster decided to selectively knock down a tree on the internet cable, while leaving the rest of the power line intact... I have to watch this in McDonald's too..
First time watching. Just subbed. Thanks for the build ideas.
The city looks sad but nice vid. Also looking forward for project japan :D
It's cool to see you use an actual community that exists in the location you described in Georgia as the basis of your fictional town/city
Great music dude! and movie too, like always

I can recommend Pres, TazerHere or bsquiklehausen for northern/northeastern type builds! :)

I have already planned a future vote where this will be something that might get dealt with.
its cool to see a building from my home town, the pinnacle building, in the build.
I'd love to see the riverside build next, but i can see that it would be better once the other side of the river was all built too.
R.I.P Infrastructures
Really good :) Can't wait for more!
You should develop the train line that sits along the river bank, add in a yard and larger station
Raleigh North Carolina is a good city to look at for some inspiration
reminds me so much of NewYork
Man, you really don't like suburbs. I have to respectifully disagree with the opinion I believe you have. xD
Great video. Your editing is awesome.
Isaac Detherage suburbs; in my opinion, are waste of space.
Doing like a 80s architect area would be cool, ya know like really out of place and kinda ugly, but at the time were thought to be the future
In georgia, between savannah and jacksonville. Sure. But it's actually only the size of a farm.
Don't mean to be ungrateful but is there any chance you could publish the map you're working from btw love that you published an assets list, makes our lives a lot easier to follow along.
Any news on what this map is
@@jakubwasilewski9708 it's a custom one he made himself and seemingly never uploaded it to the workshop. Considering he's gone AWOL probs not gonna get it I'm afraid
@@jimothy9988 thanks for the reply, any map recommendations that look smilar to this one?
Wow! Looks fantastic!
Are you using the map cape Henry?
There’s already a pretty sizable port there, irl. It’s called Brunswick, GA
I love the build
One word: stunning!
There's so much realistic lore that I actually had to go check to see if this wasn't a real city..
I wish I was able to build city’s likes this but I’m on console and am unable to build with mods so I’m stuck with the vanilla assets and I don’t have the skill and patience you do
So pumped to see where this goes! One thing, shouldnt all your (disgusting) parking lots have pass throughs at the end? Otherwise cars would have to reverse all the way back and out. Dont know why it bothered me so much.
I'm curious about what cities you'll primarily be drawing inspiration from. For example, New York, Atlanta, St. Louis, Baltimore, and other highly segregated "eastern" cities, might all fit together for the narrative being told here. I take it this city is built with our current year in mind? Because some concepts of near-futurism, such as mega-highways running straight overtop poor/black neighborhoods would fit with your description, such as you might see in the more recent Fallout installments, or in parts of Chicago with the L. Looking forward to future installments~
Main inspiration is Atlanta, as well as some of the major Texan cities. Mainly because of their odd mix of land usage in downtown areas. I knew i didn't want to draw on New York as i don't want to use too much of the Brooklyn/Manhattan collection. The downtown area is not meant to be a very populated place compared to cities like Philly, Boston, New York etc. About the highways; they have done tremendous damage in Crescent (the interstate "loop" built around downtown) which i will touch on more.
Im from the Atlanta suburbs and it is true how the wealth is concentrated in the suburbs and not downtown. 3:41
Randon tip: Please add more songs to your videos. You have been repeated the songs a lot in your previous videos. Greetings.
Oh trust me, i would love to have unique songs for every video, but with 3-5 songs for almost all of my +75 releases, that doesn't seem feasible. I've had plenty of troubles with finding music that i am allowed to use without getting strikes and trouble with YT. Sometimes i get it wrong and usually don't remove said song but instead let the video become demonitized to not ruin the viewers experience; i.imgur.com/oIMzKtP.png
Can you tell me the name of the last track? Can't shazam it :(
Goddamn your narrative is beautiful and on point!
I like how you made up a location for the city and it is a really pretty city but it looks more like a Midwestern city like Chicago
Nice, do you have any plans related towards sports entertainment? Instead of a Major league team it could be some local basketball/football league, or maybe a Baseball AAA/AA affiliate. Maybe some local auto racing track or even horse track built in/around some city/state fairground
what's the building you place 3:01?
Dude if you made some kind of spotify playlist or just like a list of all the songs you use in your videos I would be so happy
Also reminds me of a bigger Augusta
hey! I just discovered your fantastic work on cities skylines ! it's really amazing cause you had so much with your comments.
What map do you use for this serie? Was the highxay network included or not?
Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work
Can somebody tell me this mod 5:36 ,that you can choose props from f.e l. Residential page? I need this
What s the map @Infrastructurist
you are a very talented man
The “big ass glass building” is in here!
I really wish you would voiceover your videos. Although my English level is near perfect, I do take longer than the average American to read. Even in my own language I'm considered a slow reader.
And so as to not pause the video and be able to concentrate on what's going on, this is my *personal* request.
I hope other individuals have also expressed this wish to you in the past and hope you will indeed read my comment and consider it.
I love your work thus far and continue to follow
So amazing! I wish I had your skills! Can you do one LA based city
So Brunswick GA
May I ask, how do you get NO errors at all, and manage all this? Also what are your computer specs? Getting a 2,000$ computer, just want to know if it's worth buying that one, or choosing a different one.
You should do a tropical paradise, Dubai type city
How do you do it? How do you stay so creative while recording this? I've tried many times, had a couple successful runs, but everytime I try to record this game I just get so creatively blocked. Is there any advice you could offer?
Let urban planning and cities become integral hobbies in your life, allowing you to find enjoyment in spending hours on google maps, haha. For real though, you could try to replicate areas from google maps as a start. By doing so, you'll slowly but surely pick up on trends and common practices in urban planning for whatever area/country/theme you are checking out. This will enable you to build realistic looking areas without having to use any references. For instance, i spend a good deal of time looking at Atlanta before starting this project, just to grasp the overall look of it.
Infrastructurist I live near Indianapolis and I've been wanting to recreate it for a long time now. Its almost perfect for a midsized city build. Thanks so much, this will really help me in the long run.
I see you use growables. How do you make sure the buildings won't change over time?
