6 Building Projects to Complete the Decade - Cities: Skylines - Altengrad 70

[@kubin226]

I Love altengrad, can't wait to see how the city wil grow in the next decades

[@saber1885]

looking forward to how it will look in the 90s

[@jeremymartin1957]

A realistic possibility for the expo center is that after the war, due to money being allocated elsewhere, it fell in to disrepair which could have lead to the mentioned fire or it being intentionally destroyed - maybe being cheaper / more pollitically appealing to level and build new structures

[@piotrciesla7516]

I live something like 100-150m from Russian embassy in Warsaw and I love the vibe of the Soviet one in Altengrad, there's a lot of similar embassies in Warsaw - old, pre-WW2 mansions, accomodated for diplomatic missions

[@_kiewicz6340]

Yeah, I live in similar location (further from the Russian Embassy, but still lot of embassies and government buildings are next to me) and I can say it too. Older mansions or palaces changed their function over time.

[@caiovalente1672]

I like this format of episode. Revisiting a lot of little old places of the city is kind of refreshing, as at this point there's a lot of things I've forgotten. Gets the picture of what the city used to be and is changing a lot better in my head

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

I love this series. Would love to see a TV tower in the city.

[@henryzhang7661]

Mate your building is so sick.... Every time you upload I'm literally excited to see your new video

[@hooper6203]

I had the same problem with ‘stuck’ cims, often on paths where I had used node controller to sharpen corners. If you install the ‘broken node detector’ mod it has a function to find stuck cims and you can fix the pathing for each. If you leave the cims stuck then over a very short period of time it will break the game simulation meaning it will not run any faster than ‘normal’ speed. So, worth spending the time freeing those cims! :)

[@valentinsn-ostalgiemodellbahn]

Perfect video, as always. At 18:29: You are right, this building realy looks like the publishing house of the newspaper "Neues Deutschland", the official newspaper of the SED. It was errected from 1969-1974 at the Franz-Mehring-Platz in East Berlin. At this time it had one of the most advanced printing houses in Europa directly attached to it.

[@shinichikudo7577]

Fun fact: this newspaper still exists

[@TheOmegakix]

22:11 Lisinski music hall!!! From my home city! Nice!

[@kbieniu7]

The panoramic view on the city from the hospital, as seen in 26:58, is very... Czech :D At least, what I have in memory of cities whenever I went to Czechia

[@alexw2637]

Your build style is amazing. How other much less talented builders got to almost 1mil followers is beyond me. So here I am to help out with the engagement. Good luck!

[@Meister_Warpy]

You and the czech architect Adam Gebrian, that talks about different interesting buildings in his videos, made me really appriciate the buildings from the last century. Thank you. Many people collectively hate on buildings from the socialism era but there are so many beautiful gem of a buildings that were built during that era. I hope that you plan on building some other specific buildings in this era. I love the ÚTB building in Prague that is sadly being demolished right now. The Ústřední telekomunikační budova or Central telecommunication building was built in the 1970s and during it's time it was the biggest office building in the Czechoslovakia and it was also the biggest telecommunication building in Europe. It's one of my most favourite brutalist buildings. It's shame that such beautiful and very specific odd building is being demoloshed just for some apartments.

[@serebii666]

" was the biggest office building in the Czechoslovakia and it was also the biggest telecommunication building in Europe" Well that was also it's downfall. The building was simply too big to reasonably adapt, had no natural light or ventilation for modern requirements and already was heavily compromised (both with all the Asbestos, but also by the fact that it went through a large renovation, including the facade in the 1990s, which means that there was little of the original worthy of preserving). But to be fair monument preservation is itself quite political and therefore ultimately popular. Many buildings from the early 1920s, in Czechia's then Art Deco style (Národní dekorativismus, erroneously sometimes called Rondokubismus - it has nothing in common with Cubism in arch. theory) have no protection whatsoever and a lot have already been heavily compromised by facadism. And that is largely because compared to Cubism or Functionalism that replaced it, it's not popular or well studied, so it misses out on preservation too.

[@justheretocomment4810]

I can't believe you only have 77.000 subscribers, your work is awesome and you deserve so much more

[@timisithy6655]

It would be really cool to see the embassies security get increased when the decade changes

[@felipeminicuccigarrido162]

Wouldn’t it be really cool if Altengrad hosted some kind of Olimpic/Soviet Games??? Love the series!

[@danonck]

I'd love to see some more sports facilities in the city! Perhaps a rivalry with the existing football team between 2 districts.

[@modisgabor]

I’ve grown up in an Eastern Europe city so it’s like a time travel for me 😊 I’m looking forward to every episode! Keep up the good work!

[@ChrisBrammer]

Hey there Akraus! Just wanted to say that Altengrad has been one of my favourite series on Cities Skylines. You’ve done a great job with it! Also just wanted to thank you for using some of my own models off the workshop for your soviet era stuff! It’s great to see them used in such a good setting!

[@romanrat5613]

Great series. It would be cool to see some kind of TV/radio tower in the city. I believe it was around the late 60s-70s that many were built

[@Karlschubo]

Yessss, finally and just in time. 30min video and my train ride ends in 36mins haha

[@NicolasDominique]

6 projects in one episode. Such a treat!

[@vojtechrod6114]

It's pretty interesting when you know the major inspiration sources for these projects (and many previous ones): - Hospital - The University Hospital Prague - Motol and Homolka hospital (built gradually since the late 1930s) - Secret Police Headquarter - Regional Headquarter of Police in Prague - Pankrác - The original Exhibition center was heavily inspired by the old Exhibition Center in Prague - Holešovice, and It was rebuild and extended gradually in the 1950s-1960s. But the major extension was in the early 1990s in fact. The historical (pre-war) exhibition hall partly burned about 15 years ago and It's under extensive reconstruction and replica construction of the destroyed wing now. Pretty cool 😊

[@a.j.petrarca2268]

Love the series! I hope to see some upgrades to the football stadium in the 70s!

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

Really amazing! But for a secret headquarter, it's pretty visible

[@aleksasimovic2985]

Make sure that the hospital complex is connected well enough to the rest of the town so that ambulances can reach their desitnations quickly (a future highway project maybe?)

[@civishamburgum1234]

Shouln't the retreat be fenced in?

[@moenchii]

The thing you meantioned at 21:32 was called IGA (Internationale Gartenbauauststellung/International Gardening Exhibition) during GDR times and since 1991 it is called ega (Erfurter Gartenbauauststellung/Erfurt Gardening Exhibition) Greetings from close to Erfurt. I can wholeheartedly reccomend visiting the city. Very nice and underrated place.

[@CaesarRoyale]

just wanna say I love the decades thing you do, if I ever made skylines vids I would do the same. even so i want to build a city that way, aesthetics down to which cars and all. top quality attention to detail as always akruas

[@purplebeamcz]

I see progress in your builds since Aurelia and it is awesome love your videos.

[@user-dmitridragon]

It is time. To do some more TRAM RIDES! Or bus ones, please!

[@buddyhoward8963]

With how well and unique Altengrad is turning out and growing with age, i almost want to see you try another city builder with a similar them as you've built Altengrad up with; Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic

[@Pan_Schaboszczak]

Wait, there's no Fiat 126p on the exhibition? How could you! The famous "Maluch" (pol. "Little one") was produced between 1974 and 2000 in over 1 million cars. You can sometimes find it today in Poland. You definitely need to add it to exhibition. Also, great video as always!

[@Akruas]

I don't make the cars.

[@Pan_Schaboszczak]

@@Akruas I searched the workshop for Maluch and I actually found nothing. I'm sorry, Akuras, I thought that the car so popular should be there. Without it Altengrad will lack of something I swear. Modders have a lot things to do then...

[@daniellxnder]

Looove the 'old meets new' aesthetic the Expo Park & Old Hospital got!

[@Pearl1604]

Nooooooooooo the old building Where sutch amazing 😭

[@pawelo4206]

Maybe you can think of something like metro system? Because in a lot of eastern cities like Kyiv, Prague, Budapest they were introduced in like 60'/70'

[@leovigild_]

Another awesome episode. I love this series, and I'm super hyped to see what you get up to in the 70s. I've got an idea as to how you could make some of those rare cars like the Soviet limo drive around without being too common. Not sure if you'd want to spend time on it or not. You could dump and import them as taxis, place a small hidden taxi depot and use the vehicle selector mod to make it spawn rare/vintage/sports/super cars. Though they would behave as taxis, I don't imagine it would be too noticeable. Maybe you could even make them work as some other form of service that you could restrict, like garbage collection (lol).

[@ulysse2145]

I'm really staying on youtube only to see this channel i swear it's awesome

[@maxymillian]

cant wait for a comparison with modern times, 1930s to 1950s, 1950s to 1980s, 1980s to early 2000s, and then early 2000s to 2020's

[@MateodeJovel]

Is there going to be anything like Hotel Ještēd or the Buzludzha monument popping up near Altengrad in the 1970s? Would be a good opportunity to create some satellite towns outside of Altengrad

[@steef9591]

It would be so cool to see an entire neighbourhood in quick eastern block housing and in brutalist architecture style

[@boldlypod]

Extreme urban decisions werde made in this episode. But yeah, it was not only the case in eastern Europe. Realistic cities are not always without architectural sins of the past. I like the realism.

[@xcalum_mcnal21x46]

I hope in the 2000s you redevelop and demolish these 1950-60s-70s buildings ❤

[@maxwoellers4349]

I can see your inspiration from Motol / Na Homolce, beautiful! Loving this series!

[@mauriceskyliners9873]

Altengrad is one of the most beautiful european cities on Cities Skylines!

[@SupremeFlagshipMusashi]

Nice builds!)

[@hodgepodge51]

Can’t wait for the 70s!

[@thegreatdodo5092]

Which mod provides the clipping tiles you placed around 21:16 and later for the asphalt? I downloaded the ploppable asphalt+ loading time fix mod, but I'm unable to find the tiles in-game to place them down? 🙁

[@Akruas]

Clipping steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1762784478 Read Workshop description of PA+ loading fix.

[@tetsujinyamamoto2219]

can wait to see Altengrad in 1970s

[@ceccascorp8149]

I would love to see a military base. Maybe a sinple space for some military trucks or if you want to go crazy make an entire traing troops area

[@aaywahyu214]

i supporting you and your city project im very proud

[@danonck]

Absolutely amazing, as always Akruas! I love the fact that you do not shy away from painful changes. Cities are never perfect and especially during the communist era our cities were spammed with buildings that completely changed their landscape. I can't wait for the next decade and what you have in store for us then!

[@doublea06]

Nice redevelopments, especially brutalist. 50/50🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐

[@ilcicci1983]

Your video are one of the reason i love this game

[@RoefLaser]

Controvertida decisión con el centro de exhibición, quedó muy bonito, sobre todo con los generadores de personas, pero, me imagina a las gentes de Altengrad un poco "molestas" con la decisión, JEJEJE!... Excelente video como siempre!...

[@gunvaldisvitols1076]

25:37 the same building from molchat doma. Am i the only one who noticed?

[@TheCrimsonFlaming]

That exhibition center change will be something that people of Altengrad will lament about after the fall of communism. Saying how they could have had such a nice building. Especialy in 2010's and 20's ;)

[@ukaszokos8071]

Hi, is Altengrad enaugh big to have it's own airport? I think that would be great change and will fit as introduction to new decade.

[@Akruas]

No airport.

[@ukaszokos8071]

Ok.

[@pistakrk4888]

yay :) Beatifull episode, im just worried about the highways more and more, as i see how ruthless you are to the old fabric of the city :D but im exited nontheless

[@orinbeard3693]

Brilliant series 👏

[@MrOgrizek]

Hey Akruas, can't wait to see the new decade. You really are the master of building, my city has quite a few builds inspired by you. I have a question. Since the latest update, I can't seem to be able to make my decals bigger or smaller. The surfaces and props I can but the decals are staying the same size while the indicator is getting larger itself. Do you maybe have a tip or a clue?

[@teddyclones27]

What buildings did you use for 25:00

[@teddyclones27]

@@Akruas Thanks!

[@DerFeedsan]

wake up babe 30m altengrad video dropped

[@Oskiinus]

I know it's off by around 20 years, but this hospital reminds me of Szpital Św. Łukasza (Hospital of Saint Luke) in my city - Tarnów :D I lowkey also hoped we'd see some chapel there, but then I remembered - no religion in communism. Also, what about getting some foreign/non-soviet vehicles to be placed in some specific places in 70s, like the racetrack, another exhibition or some really rich areas? I think in Polish perspective, where in 1970s and 80s you had quite a few foreign cars imported for various reasons, the ones that come to my mind instantly are some Beetles, Citroens, italian Fiats but also very rarely stuff like Porsche 911s or Mercedes-Benzes.

[@VOZRA_STUDIOS]

Are you planning to add trolleybuses?

[@Akruas]

No, too complicated.

[@FL910]

you've been busy!

[@peterryrfeldt8568]

The rusdian embassy is so real. Here in stockholm it has that exact kind of building, with qll the fences and security it looks like a prison...

[@likematters5568]

Very cool👍.

[@justassadauskas]

Love the series! How do you make trees and decals smaller or bigger with move it mod???

[@mathieugariepy2948]

Great video!

[@martin5279]

you should make a realistic airport, it would be awesome

[@felixhirschenhauser2728]

Great video, i enjoyed it very much! Even though i would like to see some low-density expansion i respect your choice not to do it. Looking forward to see more!

[@regulate.artificer_g23.mdctlsk]

So I'm guessing that the residential area next to the hospital is a "dementia village"?

[@kantentv5141]

You have to build a Metro System in the city

[@ziggygaming4443]

are you going to go into the 21st century? there are tons of european cities (such as london, vienna, paris, madrid, milan, moscow, and warsaw) with central business districts with modern skyscrapers and i am curious if you are going to do the same

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Most likely, but that probably won't be for a long while.

[@1297Eman]

I do hope there's a 60s download much as there was one for the 30s

[@michalbaranpp]

Hotel in secret complex is Panorama - Štrbské Pleso?

[@Valentinozoz]

Hold on a minute... where is altengrad's airport/airfield?

[@terceroido]

Lovely!

[@rchiggins2930]

What happened to the original university built back in episode 16?

[@Akruas]

There is no university from #6

[@Uselesscommentary]

Will Altengrad host Olympics in 70s/80s?

[@Akruas]

Maybe.

[@konrad4180]

when will be next tram lapse?

[@MichaelWalterDombek]

Hey, although both cities are not in sync yet, i would love to see some Altengrad contribution to the world expo in Sunset City (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjEgIKlfdqie9E ). :)

[@ananas3081]

if there is ussr embassy how about us one?

[@JafuetTheSame]

shouldnt secret police have a secret headquarters?

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Not necessarily. The goal of secret police, when not operating, is usually to hide in plain sight.
