Arkantos Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 A huge amount of construction will begin across Aigionor, particularly in five places: Townsville, Lucinda-Ingham, the Saxby-Cambridge area, Queenton, and Claraville. These cities were chosen to be upgraded to metropolises, with populations above 5 million for each. For reference, here is a map of the cities undergoing construction: Orange- Townsville Purple: Lucinda-Ingham Teal: Queenton Yellow: Saxbridge (Saxby-Cambridge) Red: Claraville Townsville will now be know as Agrona, and Agrona is still the capital of Aiginor. All construction is to begin at once. Both foreign contractors and local will be used. Aignor does not have a large steel or glass indusrty, so those also must come from abroad. In addition, a special project will be built in Lucinam (Lucinda-Ingham). The project, titled "Project Greensville", will create an experimental "green" sector of the city. It will look like this when complete: And now, for the predicted skylines of each city once construction is complete: Agrona Lucinam Queenton Saxbridge and Claraville pictures will come shorthly.

Michael McBride Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OOC: You can construct 13% of a city in 2 days? Even if you're using the scale 1 RL month = 1 CNRP year, cities take multiple, multiple years to build. Hell, just look at how long it takes to build a single skyscraper in real life.

Michael McBride Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OOC: The cities were already there...they are being upgraded. The point stands about the skyscrapers and such. It takes years to build one in RL and makes about an entire block unusable, so you cannot build many at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOC: Time is relative to each Rper. I use the 1 RL month= 1 RP year scale when the RP is relevant to others. Since this is nation development, I go at my own pace.

For all you know, the area needed for construction could've been cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V The King Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) OOC: Just so to add to what others have said, that's not really how cities are built. Mostly cities are gradually built over the decades as a result of supply and demand for housing, industries and commerce - not by spontaneously building a metropolis, five million people will simply not move overnight to a city (if you expect it to not be a huge slum,that's it) - just as a reference, to build Brasilia (the capital of Brazil; to build all government buildings plus infrastructure and housing to accommodate ~100,000), it took a billion 1960 dollars (which are several 2009 billions). There is a reason why major cities are not made overnight, but rather over dozens (or even hundreds) of years. Just sayin'. Nothing wrong with building large cities all of a sudden, if you want to do it, then you should be much more thorough with your plans rather than just "so the city will have this and that and now it's 5% done" "lol, today is 10% done".

Mergerberger II Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 These projects look ridiculously expensive. Your nation should be bankrupt fairly quickly. We would recommend not doing any more projects in the future, and would not recommend trying to fund anything other than these projects for quite some time.

OOC: Well, my nation really isn't currently built to house 40 million people atm, which is why I'm doing this. So, they won't be slums, because tere are already people wanting to move there.
