The city of Hellsinki.
Hellsinki is just over 100 years old and has 250k inhabitants. The city is expanding rapidly and cover a large area,
tge technicians say it's 81 tiles. Hellsinki has several harbours and a large airport. The old city and the new business
center are well covered with a network of buses and a metro. Highways criss cross the whole map.
Anyways, enough of chit chat, here are some pictures.

Here you can see the size of the city.

Just blink for a sec and you'll see how the city grows and evolves.

Anyways, I'll be posting more pics along the road as the city changes and expands. More details to come.

The old part of Hellsinki is typically old style european, straight lines, squares and boxes.
But then there were harbours built, factories and it caused a serious demand for
a new business center. Wild capitalism caused a rapid uncontrolled growth of
skyscrapers. It became a steel, glass and concrete jungle.

With the economic boom, the industrial growth required large work forces which created a need for housing for the masses.

And so the first suburbs were created. Cheap housing for the drones.
In the background you can see the famous mushroom.

Not all suburbs look like they were taken from a picture book from soviet russia. Like the Hamiltons with its skyscrapers.

looks cool

Where two worlds collide, the old empire and the new business city.

 

[deadbeaver]

About 260k cims spread out on 81 tiles. 19850 buildings and growing.

Not all suburbs look like the soviets, they can have a more swedish look, like tiny boxes.

Or have a uk style.

Two pics of the pier. This is how the rich live.

It's not only business and building, there's some rocket science and entertainment too.

 

[deadbeaver]

More entertainment, some fun and games.

And the new industrial area with a small excavator.

Nothing special really going on. The working force has been doing an overhaul of the highways and the upper class
has been spending time at the yacht club.

 

[deadbeaver]

Been mostly fixing the highways, nothing fancy or even close to road porn. Just making traffic more fluent.
Anyways, one of the reasons for the road upgrades is the growing suburb of Sideways.

Of course not all cims live in soviet bunker villages. The life in the old city is very different.
More cool, calm & collected.

Live with class with a view of the skyscrapers in the background.

There are several harbours in Hellsinki. Here's a look at them.

First the Westend harbour.

The old harbour. The prison is also in this district.

Tribeca harbour. It's connected to the railways just like Westend harbour.

The Airport harbour.

And finally the Oredom harbour. It's a small one that was built to relieve pressure from Tribeca.

All this is ruled, planned and governed from up the hill, from "the white castle" overlooking Hellsinki.
The world Hellsinki exists in is a 240 ssd run by a i5 (2500k oc'd to 4.4ghz), with 24gb ram and a gtx 750 ti oc.
Also, there's +/- 30 mods and approx 1400 assests. And I must add, the world runs very smoothly,
no issues whatsoever. Can't complain. (except for that damn tourism issue)

What's that taller, white building in the upper right corner of this picture?
