Tram Loop and Modern Apartments - Cities: Skylines - Altengrad #23

[@arthemis1039]

Maybe you should prepare some countryside roads to create the village network around Altengrad.. Knowing where other towns are is quite important to have a realistic city growth. I also think Altengrad should be at the center of a web rather than on a line, as European capitals are really centralized :)

[@sisconhimejoshi]

Finally we’re crossing the river! I was looking forward to a project like this, ideas of “garden cities” were really huge in 1920s all over Europe, really glad we now have one in Altengrad!

Maybe good to know: this sort of new housing was built quite a lot in Germany in the mid 20s, especially in Frankfurt (words for a Google search are "Ernst May" and "Neues Frankfurt"). Also, the areas around those apartments were mostly not used as gardens with flowers and bushes (except for the terraced housing districts with private gardens, which were also used to grow vegetables). Instead the green areas were used for drying laundry, so they were mostly plain grass with metal laundry racks on them. They were also bordered by a few small to medium-sized trees and a trimmed hedge. All in all those new residential areas were very tidy and there was a plan by the city what to rise where. I love that you are including that style of buildings, since they are essential for basically all residential buildings after WW2. Hopefully you read my comment and implememt my points to make Altengrad even more realistic! I would be more than happy to see that happen.

[@Akruas]

Yeah sure, I just didn't have those garden details. Also these buildings don't have doors modeled in the back.

[@samborpuskas]

The one thing this area is missing is a church, maybe even 2, maybe one smaller chapel-like one, and a second larger more modern one.

[@Akruas]

There are zero churches in the Workshop from early 20th century (not counting obviously American), it would look terrible with some old church.

[@saalvosegg8171]

This city reminds me of Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, and Copenhagen in one city. I know it is supposed to be Central but it screams Northern Europe to me.

[@nedvb6676]

In the Cold War cities like Vienna and Berlin we’re divided between the Soviet’s and the west which has been shown in the architectural styles o either sides of the city altengrad could have gone through a similar power struggle leading to the soviets controlling that side of the city and the west the old city in the side of the river

[@StachuxD97]

Looks great, although gotta admit, those modern Oslo buildings and their placement kinda reminds me of Russia style of urbanism, symmetrical, grand and mostly one type of building. Nonetheless great work

[@danonck]

I just recently found your channel and I'm slowly binging through the playlist. But this one made me really feel like at home. This really looks like a Warsaw district, e.g. Żoliborz or Bielany. Beautiful! I will happily finish the entirety of the series.

[@pinkfluffypandicornblub2706]

one of my probably top 5 episodes of my favourite project of one of my 3 favourite cs youtuber :) I really love this one. it looks super realistic and overall beautiful. amazing job. thanks so much for sharing your passion with all of us and entertain us the way you do it :) I really like to think of this area as one that was used formerly primarily for industrial purposes. maybe factories that got destroyed in ww1 or something like that :)

[@pierrelipperheide7981]

I used to live in a 1920's development in Munich. It was planned as a garden-residence-settlement. Maybe a little late now but for some inspiration, look up Alte Heide.

[@bruh666]

wowww this city is really starting to come together, looks amazing

[@noaoah3662]

In Germany that “modern” apartment building is called bauhaus.. idk cool fact ig?

[@HAVVKZ]

TakumiTube TV he literally says that at 6:05

[@noaoah3662]

No he talks about the school but not the general architecture

[@brunoglopes]

TakumiTube TV no man, he said it was a “Bauhaus building”

[@noaoah3662]

Bruno Lopes yes the bauhaus building is the school, but not the general architecture of the buildings he places in the episode

[@christianolsson1680]

I wouldnt have liked seen this part getting changed. You put a lot of thought into realism and in a way it would be unrealistic to change an area like this. Having mixed architecture like this would suggest that the area already has gone through a renovation. You also say that you liked building this part. So please, keep it like it is! Thanks for a great vid!!

[@maxymillian]

[@petjuh1985]

I love the series! Very inspirational for my own city build! :-) the only thing which seems a bit odd is the position of the old bridge. It leads to a part where another bridge is needed to continue the road, while the oldest bridge would usually be placed on the easiest crossing of a river. In my opinion the monastery island or position of the new bridge would be more logic to be the position of the first bridge. But keep the work going, it’s amazing to follow the development!

[@Akruas]

There are ruins of an old-old bridge below the new steel one.

Resembles osiedle Montwiła-Mireckiego, little district that was the youngest and most modern in Łódź, Poland, in 1939. Build in early 1930s, it is still pretty high quality today

[@Wielkobabita]

While the place where the new settlement lays is actually quite good, I think that just opposite the old town on that bank of the river there should be a settlement which is in a matter of the territory quite small, but also old in terms of both architectural style and actual age. There are multiple examples of such places even from my fatherland, Poland: - Wrocław: Ostrów Tumski is actually older and inhabited for a longer time than proper old town, but it is unnoticable since it was a clerical property for a couple centuries; this is a special case of that city, though. - Poznań: Śródka is actually older than Poznań, but after left-bank Poznań was located as a town it lost most, if not all, of its inhabitants. Later it served as a market of a kind for Poznań, but burnt almost completely in 1637. - Gdańsk: the island opposite the Moltawa was used by the traders to place cereal magazines, that's why it is now called Granary Island - Warsaw: Praga exists as a village since fifteenth century and as a town from 1648 and originally laid where the zoo is now, so opposite the old town, but it got destroyed quite a couple times. - Cracow: Kazimierz, separated from the old town by a now non-existent branch of Vistula, exists as a mixed Jewish-Christian settlement from the times of Casimir the Great. Thus, I think it would be quite probable that a trade-oriented town opposite to it existed since quite a long time ago. Since most of my examples got destroyed in some kind, I'm not saying it must be perfectly preserved but even remnants are enough for a new settlement to emerge and by the time given, it should be quite significantly smaller than the city on the more important bank, but definitely not empty and mostly not rural opposite the old town.

Master of City Skylines. I need a little help. How can I avoid a 3rd strange looking rail (the one who always wants to complete the loop)? I just want to build a loop with one way rails connecting to a simple tram 2 way street. But this little corner which always wants to complete the loop seems unavoidable. How did you solve the problem? Cheers and thanks, Marc

[@Akruas]

I'm not sure what you mean. Best way to build loops these days is with the Network Multitool and Node Controller.

Could you please clarify which parameter you changed in the Road Editor so that the tracks at 10:48 connect as a Y instead of the vanilla triangle and which would close the loop onto itself?

[@LeuxSeveN]

the two lane tram loop bothers me greatly for some reason~~~

[@Akruas]

It's common for tram loops to be this way, it can serve two lines much better than a single track loop.

[@Wielkobabita]

@@Akruas I think that the problem lies in this being a bidirectional loop, not just in having two tracks.

[@srb_guy3487]

If I may give a suggestion or recommendation, could you use some elements from Belgrade Serbia, possibly in the future like 1960s-70s could you build highrise mixed in with main city rather than on the outskirts like Beograđanka.

[@mewosh_]

This is something like Howa Huta.

[@jurgensmit02]

Are you’re thinking of some type of rebuilding parts of altengrad after ww2 because of bombardements. In the Netherlands the city Rotterdam is almost completely rebuild because the most of Rotterdam was gone after the war.

[@flameoguy]

You should use Czech music from the 1920s for the cinematics episode.

[@a.j.petrarca2268]

I don't know how deep into the city's narrative you want to get, but once you hit the 30's it might be cool to consider a scenario where the Olympic committee retracts Berlin's winning bid to host the 1936 summer games (due to the spread of hostile nazi ideals and antisemitism) and instead decides to award the games to Altengrad. You could build a large sports complex with housing for athletes, lots of upgraded infrastructure to accommodate the influx of tourists, and in later years you could use the main stadium to house the HISTORIC Football Club Altengrad! It might also be a cool idea to let some of the buildings from a project like this become abandoned for a couple decades (as they tend to do) and once you hit a more modern era the city could reclaim the land to build a modern office park with a few high rise buildings and entertainment for the citizens outside of the city core! Just an idea from a fan of the series who really wants to see a stadium in Altengrad! haha

Callum Evans it’s actually very reminiscent of Austrian housing project known as “red Vienna”, although on a bit smaller scale. It seems that Altengrad could’ve been a part of Austro-Hungary before the war, so this development might as well take an inspiration from there.
