Garden City and Outskirts Train Station - Cities: Skylines - Altengrad #35

[@molybdane7240]

Off the top of my head, a garden city is an idealized city design, dating from the 18th century. Apart from a rationalized design with straight roads (originally), a lot of room was alloted to greenery and spaces like small squares or other open spaces. The concept has been reinvented several times, sometimes more succesfully than other attempts.

I think we’re at the stage when we can say “I can see my house from here”

[@lucaortolani2059]

This city is getting more beautiful every episode

[@GarrettLamer]

Looking great Akruas, I'm glad to see Altengrad growing more and more. Perhaps an early grass strip airfield would be an interesting idea for the city? There are a few good assets on the workshop that would be suitable for such a time period including Fokker F.VII and Junkers Ju 52 aircraft. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Altengrad, keep up the good work!

[@BabaTova]

Okay, so, wow! Akraus, I'm just in love with Altengrad, I'm really clueless on how one man can build such beautiful city! The creaticity that goes to build something like this is awesome! Hope a save download will be availble when you finish. Thank you for doing this!

[@florianw2708]

I am afraid the city won't run on most computers... still I would love to look at everything by myself on my computer

[@BakuSudoku]

Hey Akruas, glad to see you enjoying two projects simultaneously. There was a time I felt you weren't too keen on one or another. Now you're on fire on both. Congratz :)

[@Akruas]

Having a buffer of videos sure helps.

[@artamir6605]

This Chateau could be used as an event house or as a town house in the current times. The town hall of the city i work for was also a private mansion back in the days.

[@joaopedromeireles7210]

It is missing a church!

[@henrikr.822]

I love your series and especially that you put so much thought into which kind of projects stem from which historic period. I absolutely adore the garden city because it is such a neat symbol of its time. I would love it if you could also do more social housing. Slums were a huge problem in the 19th century in central europe, so architects put a lot of thought into how to fix that (with garden cities being one idea). I am thinking big, uniform, modern buildings like e.g. the "familistere de guise" (I know it's in France but still) or seeing that this is the 30s, some brutalist complexes! Keep it up and thank you :3

[@Akruas]

Yes, I downloaded some packs of 30's housing, just waiting to build forward to use them in a suitable area.

[@VerumPositor]

With every episode I like this project more and more, even I absolutely hyped it from the beginning. Such a great balance between efficient expansion and detail, chapeau!

[@malw6323]

I really enjoy and am impressed with your work on this series and I hope you won’t get discouraged in recording it, Altengrad is really beautiful and well detailed and a joy to look at

[@HugoFitzpatrick]

Nice to see the Dublin house's in use. They are modelled on houses in the suburbs of Crumlin and Drimnagh. Dublin has several Garden City suburbs which included large geometric shapes of crescents, circles and ovals. Marino is the oldest and most impressive, Cabra East and Cabra West are also notable but came later on. Garden City is sort-of proto-suburb in the UK & Ireland context as it was about seperating out uses and emulating UK Villages in a sort of "cottage-core" take on city housing. This was taken to the extreme in the US where they turned into modern suburbia and quickly started orienting to the car and not pedestrians. It's like lesson No. 2 Irish town planning :-D

[@matrimhelmsgaard]

We have garden cities in Norway too, we call it Hagebyer, most big cities have them. We also have something called Kolonihage, it's a district in the city that is small plots of land where you can build a small one room building, and a garden around it to plant whatever you want, people use it just for like a home-from-home garden living room or porch for the spring summer and autumn.

[@Akruas]

I think those are called allotments? Super common in Germany and CR, we owned one back in the day. Really difficult to build in cities though, too small and needs to be super detailed to look good.

[@guillotineschnapp3862]

there is a garden city in hamburg germany that looks almost identical to yours. it's called "Fritz-Schumacher-Settlement" after the guy that got it built in the 1930s. it's either detached or rowhouses with large gardens and the gardens are connected with footpaths on the backside.

[@dontenty5643]

I've been waiting for this for two- *No* threethousand years for this

[@Jooooeh]

You could think of splitting up the city in districs and building some kind of town halls for every district. Like a lot of bigger cities in europe. You could build some huge representative governement buildings like a ministry of foreign affairs or something. :) The map is really beautiful and the details are great! Glad youre doing these projects, always watch it.

[@mimikal7548]

Very nice! I look forward to more low-density regions.

[@lordvaderdarthsith]

Awesome, the city looks so alive now. I'm sure you have an airport/airfield planned on the future, hopefully soon.

[@nasa852]

my favorite Cities skylines series, keep it going.

[@ZGreenGaming]

Very nice mate! I admire people who do trams with wires as it is much more work! On the other hand i decided to mimic Bordeaux and have now wires lol

[@moenchii]

There is a really nice Garden City in the German town Gotha. It's called "Am schmalen Rain" and it's one of the few nice looking places in the town.

[@Gnilron_game]

Your videos are the best! I always look forward to the next episode! I think you should build a sports arena for the city

[@ghostd00r]

Wow, I think we're ready for a new Altengrad City Overview!

[@williambouchardon3706]

Great episode as always. Maybe you could build a small spa town in Altengrad ? I mean these were very popular at the beginning of the 20th century and they make for nice cities with hotels and parks etc. Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic could serve as inspiration if you like the idea :)

[@michaambro6535]

You know, by building railway infrastructure buildings, especially railway stations, you can put several buildings in their vicinity that are very similar in terms of architecture. It was a very common procedure used by railway companies to accommodate railway workers and their families. Such workers' housing estates. ;) And as allways, great video :)

[@Akruas]

As always, I can't always build what I want, it's not like I can just search for "train station architecture style" in the Workshop, there are sadly not enough buildings, despite the fact that there are probably thousands.

[@panconpikito5589]

Amazing!!!! But maybe a little town church near the chateau could be the final touch.

[@pedrobelga6963]

Love this serie man, you're definetly one of the inspirations for my own séries Flusstadt. Congratulations for the fantastic work. 👌

[@rddragon5]

A good day is an Altengrad day!

[@MrLynx777]

Love the double loop for tram

[@MrGiostramonium]

@akruas amazing work as always! Take a look at the Michelotti park and Murazzi along the Po river in Turin, that might be an interesting idea for that empty part in front of the monastery island! Cheers

[@Akruas]

Already built that place for next episode, looks similar though.

[@dklouwens7559]

It’s funny to me that you call this a “garden city”. In the Netherlands, where I live, almost all middle class house are in neighborhoods like this and I even think most people in our country live in suburbs with this style. If you watch Silvaretts The Netherlands Cities Skylines series from 2016, you’ll see most of what he builds is in this “garden city” manner.

[@Daniel-vj9oq]

Same here. Housing estates and suburbia like this are everywhere in Ireland, well the houses here are literally from Ireland. Some of what is low density in Altengrad would be mid to high in many towns in Ireland.

[@dontenty5643]

Where i live everyone is in apartments and outside there is a lot of smog (except our city park) and we have the No.1 ugliest building in our country. Our city was literally built cause a king in the 1600s wanted a port, doesn't matter that the only western coastline my country had during that time was a swamp that's still causing problems to this day.

[@umhi2822]

Great video theres a department store on the workshop from moscow called gum and I think something like a big shopping plaza on near the parliament would look amazing Also in ww2 Prague was bombed 1 by accident and during a small raid and during the liberation of Prague they was only a small amount of destruction and the

[@echsecutioner]

I just love that project!

[@janneversace894]

You need some flatiron buildings. Great job so far

[@svopt462]

The remagen bridge was an important bridge in ww2 and it never got destroyed but maybe by going forward in your letsplay to the 1940s you can add some damage or indicators for its importance during the war. As you said in the first few episodes you will add some destruction due to the bombing etc in the 1940s im really looking forward to it Kind regards

[@maciejgutt338]

i would see some nice modernist housing projekt, like Żoliborz in warsaw. I think that this project would fit your city very well

[@Akruas]

Yes, I have a lot of modern buildings waiting for a suitable area.

[@ahaririguy]

I know you doing time line for this city, kind of want to see if you want to divide this city like Berlin later on or see how you show the second world war occurring, unless you decided to stay only in the 1920s

[@bbbenj]

I'm impressed!

Looks like transport fever lol

[@gabrielszabo1601]

How about you build some floodplains around the river. Almost every city has some area made to be flooded, that is usually around the edge of city and can be used for recreation and leisure purposes.

[@Akruas]

The map is not really built like that, not sure If I want to do that much landscaping, we'll see.

[@bruh666]

I actually know two places with a tram loop that is double tracked and in two directions, so I see no reason to be triggered lol

[@Santiago-pu8sm]

The master !

[@tommyita0675]

I know that it doesn't fit the stile, but can you build something that have an Italian influence, for example, something inspired from Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II?

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

Best city

What city skylines are u playing it looks way different from my game?

How many series Altengrad will be vintage?

You mean episodes? Don't know, I don't have a plan like that.

What about you also show the whole city in the end of each new episode?

[@Akruas]

I'll try to remember that, although cinematics for two more are already done.
