Before I begin writing my full-blown city journal, I will give you a preview of what to expect for each of the cities I created. Each city will have the following figures: zone development, traffic data (from at least one metric), and traffic volume for all modes of transportation. In the future, by request, you might also see graphs pertaining to congestion, population demographics, and educational attainment.

As a preview, I will give you figures for one of my cities in the region, called Fairfield. For comments and suggestions on what figures you want to see on my city journals, write them below.
 
 
Trent County is a fictional county (you can call it a province, administrative district, or region) that I've been creating on possibly my most favorite simulation game, SimCity 4. Since last year, I've been carefully developing the region as it is now, with immense road connections, large airports, thousands of businesses, and (currently) over 500,000 residents, spread out in eight cities and towns so far. 

As I progress towards building up the whole region, I will describe each of the cities and towns I created, as well as focusing on how transit and setting up custom parks and downtown areas can dramatically boost residential, commercial, and industrial land values. Also included in building the region are challenges to reduce pollution, cutting down dependence on fossil fuels, and speeding up traffic on busy roadways. By deploying multiple techniques, from lowering taxes to improving infrastructure to building efficient power plants and recycling centers.

To introduce my County, here are pictures from each of the communities I've built so far, with their estimated populations and unique characteristics.
Durban - 30,000 residents, suburban paradise
 Fairfield - 115,000 residents, current administrative center of Trent County
Loomis - 25,000 residents, strong farm-based community
Parkchester - 51,000 residents, location of region's premier international airport
San Gabriel - 127,000 residents, currently largest city in Trent County
San Lorenzo - 80,000 residents, possibly the most densely-populated city in the county
Currently being developed:
  • Bardstown (9,000 residents)
  • Davis
  • Mendoza
  • San Mateo (projected to be the largest city)
  • Santa Maria
  • St. Lawrence

    City Journal

    Welcome to my SimCity 4 City Journal blog focusing on my current region, Trent County. This region is fast-becoming extremely developed with large cities surrounded by vast farmlands and long coasts. Where traditional ways of life beautifully contrasts with technological advancements, Trent County sure goes with the flow of time.
