A general view of the skyline of Oakland:
the skyline is changing according to the expansion of the city:
The city is so big that it is hard to show you the whole thing on a single picture. Here is a south view of t city:
Here is the north part of the city. The town is cut in two from west to east by the Oak river:
The recent massive development of the public transport leads to the cars to be rare on the road:
the road system was very developed to avoid long traffic jam, but recently since the metros and trains took away most of the computer, the road are very fluids and streets are barely crowded:
The metro is the most used with 25.000 daily user and the train is around 5000 computers a day on a total population of 160.000. The train network is also intensively used by freight trains to relieve the roads from heavy trucks:

The city is very green and full of a multitude of little parks. Here is the parks of the four lions heads:
One of the biggest mall of the city, right in the downtown and surrounded by its big park. People likes to roam around to relax themself:

Many bridges cut the Oak river. The river is almost exempted of pollution due to a fantastic sewage system and water treatment:
Here is the old international airport of Oakland City. As this facility is too close from the town, very noisy and getting too small, a new big international airport is under construction and will be finished around end of September 2015. The old airport will become then a regional business airport with restricted use during the night :
The primary source of energy of the city is coming from this big nuclear power plant having 4 reactors. It is equipped with a huge cooling system by the water of the river. The whole complex is deployed on an island in the middle of the Oak river:
One of the numerous train stations of the city. The town has been developed around the interaction of metros / trains connection:
The center of Oakland City is split by three vey large stations. Here is the north Oakland main station. A complex of two train stations and four métro stations:
