Onyx County - Riverside (pt.2)

 So back to showing my main city at the moment. This is the city of Riverside, which currently has roughly a population of 400k. In the first picture you can see a low mag picture of the NE end of the city, where the city started. The neighbourhood of Great Oak is the oldest residential area of the city and right now isn't really the most developed. I would like to work on making it a bit nicer once the new subdivisions are finished. It is one of the few areas which has low density residential neighbourhoods. It is connected to the downtown area via the Figo Bridge (Onyban South) as well as the monorail that takes a good portion of commuters from this end of the city to the heart of Riverside. You can also see it is connected to the newer subdivisions on the west through a new extension of the Onyban Highway West.



 Below are low mag photos of the west side of the city as well as a piece of the downtown core on the bottom right of the picture.


 The idea behind the design of this downtown was to have an efficient transportation system to get commuters in and out of the core without relying on cars as much as possible. Later on I will show more, but the downtown is well connected via highways (mainly the Onyban South which surrounds part of it) as well as a subway system and the monorail that goes through most of riverside main districts.



 On the west side of Riverside you can see some other dense areas, such as Chapolin Boulevard, which is a large emerging commercial centre, just around the convention centre.






  The area west of the Riverside International Airport reaching Chapolin Boulevard is the Kronenverd District, which is the other main commercial hub of the city built around the city's need for the Airport and the Convention centre, which now attracts a lot of tourists and businesses from abroad.
 


Lastly, this is a photo of the NW side of Riverside, where the new developments are. They run along the Onyban West, and will eventually be part of the connecting development with future commercial hubs in other cities as well as the Lyans Port, which will be one of the main connections between Onyx region and other regions.
