Upgrading Downtown With MANHATTANIZATION in Cities Skylines!

[@Infrastructurist]

Taller, denser, THICCER This episode turned out different than I had planned for, with much more "live-play" - so if listening to my sometimes incomprehensible thought process on why I chose which building and where to place it - it might not be your cup of tea hahahah :-D As always I would really appreciate a LIKE and a COMMENT - Thank you all in advance! - For Ad-free Early-access to future videos whenever possible, and other perks, check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/infrastructurist - thank you! - Check description for FAQ - Brief rundown on the concept of Manhattanization: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattanization Much Love, Infra

[@bababababababa6124]

Honestly I always felt like PD deserved higher buildings, so this is great

[@Infrastructurist]

Thanks a lot! :-D

[@ilkerozgen2165]

After new DLCs we will need a space for a shopping center. Would love to see new ferries between Douglas and Pine Harbor. Love your city

[@bababababababa6124]

Yesss ferries are needed I never even thought of that lol

[@Infrastructurist]

Ah yes - ferries have been mentioned several times - it's on the to-do list for sure! And thank you!

[@nickriedel8026]

First of its a nice downtown u created. I would just have some imputs: first of the major focus point of ur downtown layout is ur Capitol building. Ur Park is opening up the blocks to it and the major streets directs in that orientation. If u plan High rises then u avoid shadowing the capitol, specially if its a smaller on like urs. the greenroofed high rise, that is pretty nice but does that already. and the second imput is u may need to spread out more in the region, cuz the contiuous revamps of the downtown with higher and higher buildings may get less and less aestatic support if there arent enough "city" to support it. So the natural Spread into the hills and the cost line into the North (I think) helps to let ur downtown shine even more.

[@Mfn77]

Yes completely agree on this one. You should really spread into the hills and north cost line.

[@phillyzfynest7]

This is the most beautiful build I've ever sat and watched someone create and do. This is why we were all waiting for you to come back. Memories like this. I wish there was a mod that allowed you to keep your RCI settings and lighting after using PO to a building.

[@Infrastructurist]

Thank you Dennel, very happy that you enjoyed it that much! And I'll share that wish - it just doesn't feel as "real" adding these block services unfortunately.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

This is a very nice downtown build! The view from the water up Douglas Avenue should see the State House nicely framed. I think next you should extend Port Douglas either down Vermont Avenue, into the docklands near Outer Brickville, or (my favorite) up the hill like in San Francisco or Boston, using painted ladies and three-deckers for a nice 19th Century neighborhood of wood-framed houses, with corner stores and taverns of course.

[@alexprice2631]

I'd love to see a football stadium in the dockyards of Port Douglas when the new DLC comes out - I think it can really help build the character of the city! For inspiration of the team's background, I'd suggest looking at teams like West Ham United, who were formed by the workmen of the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. Great video like always!

[@intraaa]

Very nice! That art deco tower is so nice, the skyscraper pack is legit some of the best models ever made for this game. Put a surface on top of that awkward wall on the first tower to give it a roof for my ocd tho.

[@citiesinsane8519]

Like how the city is crowing and changing -respect for that.....

[@notshylo]

Haven’t watched yet, but I feel like those buildings along Douglas Avenue would be historic. Perhaps you could make them taller but you would be required to keep the facades or something. 111 W 57th rising out out Steinway Hall is a good example. Maybe that’s what you’re going to do 😅 *back to video*

[@matteofgcd31]

This city is exponentially growing, it’s beautiful. Maybe it’s time to think about a local airport?

[@Infrastructurist]

An airport is on the to-do - and will be my first time using the airports DLS, wohoo!

[@s-owl_]

Again... really good final result! Keep it up

[@Noah.rlt17]

I think an amusement park next to the beach will be great ! Amazing job infra ! ; )

[@rellyrelishes]

31:29 dang what a freaking view 😍😍

[@Mansillo1]

Will be excited for the next regional towns somewhere on the map.

[@Lvxury]

I think you should build a hip trendy nightlife/arts area in Port Douglass

[@notshylo]

Oh yea that building you loved is very post-modern, which BOA Plaza definitely is along with One Atlantic Center, 191 Peachtree, etc.

[@duszhduszh]

Love the redoing of down town pd. You chose good places and the right assets to accent certain points and create a unique skyline. Just be aware of possible increasing traffic there, PD is technically still a dead end and next to parking the influx of cars could become a problem. (Speaking of: any new parking lots planned? PD might need it)

[@Infrastructurist]

Glad you like it Duszh - and good points, this did increase traffic although it is being handled reasonably well since I "fixed" the broken tram network 😅 I think I'll be looking into doing some custom parking garages, both above and below street level

[@duszhduszh]

@@Infrastructurist this tram like, man 😂 let‘s hope it‘ll work for good this time! 😄

[@Griffolion0]

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm inspired to start a new city. Then I look at the big empty map and I'm like "eh fuck it".

[@ruger845]

As a new yorker.your visit has you seeing the capitol the way i see it lol.

[@potatonado2550]

I feel like you should add some low density residential across the bridges over the highway on the hill.

[@3gunslingers]

More like high density apartments. Those hills are like 5min by foot/bike away from the city center and a major transport hub. Low density would be a complete waste of land.

[@Triliton]

I just popped on to your channel. I play CS too. I had an update, so most of my mods wont work. I could really use PO and move it. Love your project. I need to watch more of your work :) -Greetz from Norway.

[@XenidRol]

Would be great to see a nighttime cinematic of the city and additionally put in some of the missing street lights

[@ginge.2022]

This area looks like Google maps in 3d, in a good way its so damm realistic I love it 😮❤

[@smoore5084]

maybe a little to dense on some blocks? service lane ways, alleys with dumpsters and pedestrian walkways go a long way toward reality.

[@paulwebb5689]

Maybe port Douglas could extend up the mountain, and a new village town near to the mines

[@OscarBorrem]

you wouldn't convince me 51:47 - 52:00 wasn't from google earth. Bravo dude!

[@mallysh1998]

I like that! Turns out really modern) Great work! Just want to raise a concern about Douglas avenue being too heavy car-centric for such a dense DT… Waiting for transit projects as always as I think now there is no doubt that those existing trams are not capable of the volume (particularly standing in the traffic in DT where there isn’t a dedicated lane)😅 Enjoyed so much!

[@jacob-hs5np]

i would love to see you play on a tropical map or build small cities in tropical forests wich are connected by train and streets! I really enjoy your videos.

[@mauriceskyliners9873]

Amazing build!

[@Gooch916]

First of all, I would like to say that I like the build you have been doing, just been getting into it the last few episodes, secondly, I would like to ask if you have thought about making a discord? And thirdly, I would like to propose an idea, in the next episode, I think you should revert to the save that you loaded in on for this episode and instead of removing the buildings and placing larger ones in their place, I think it would have been more realistic for the buildings to have just been built on top and incorporated into the previous buildings that existed, the way that air rights worked and that you see a lot of in New York. (Ps. Sorry for the paragraph lol)

[@henriquefelix]

Haha. Supercheap auto is a auto store here in Australia. Port Douglas is also a city in Queensland.

[@roumensu8367]

Nice, can you post list of assets please?

[@dbrowley7308]

Imo, I feel like there should be a build up of height from the waterfront. I feel it would give the city more levels.

[@ashphillips909]

I'm only at the start of the episode and beg you to get a new statue for the end of the avenue! haha :)

[@bababababababa6124]

Rip to that guy at 38:29 😓

[@Infrastructurist]

Hahaha - good find baba!

[@tifaiter7586]

Any chance for a historical dockyard/museum?

[@dennisd3258]

Your builds are so cool! However, sky scrapers really should not be wall-to-wall, that would essentially make all their windows on that side that's being walled, completely useless and it would also corrupt views, essentially you would force a bunch of windowless offices or residences... consider leaving some space between those towers if you're looking for a more authentic style :)

[@martynukas]

Vermont avenue could become coniferia avenue as it has the state capitol and connects PD to the rest of the state (at least it was the main arterial before the highway came along)

[@justinwashingtonjtw8264]

such a dope city

[@cupcakkexpeaches2217]

Looks good! can you add in some bike lanes 😄I feel that there should be some more ways to get around the city instead of walking, driving, or using the tram. Also with busses, and when the bus routes are gonna be created. Anyways I love how its coming along.😄

[@bentomenson6402]

Cafes on the mix used buildings ❤

[@dupdrewww]

Why is the park named riverside gardens when it’s next to a ocean

[@That_Pillow]

how 'bout you add a road with cherry blossoms!!!

[@_Vashe]

I think buildings don't build so close to each other. window to window

[@bababababababa6124]

To be fair it looks like that in places like New York and Tokyo But I get your point Port Douglas is nowhere near the size of those cities

[@justinwashingtonjtw8264]

Hey could we see the city at night some time

[@MrJholmes1991]

omggggg its sooo beautiful

[@GeorgeVenturi]

Some windows look way oversized because of all the resizing

[@OpiumBlxntz]

What mods do you use to make your game look that good?

[@eden20111]

So how does his apply to console..?

[@doublea06]

50/50⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@andrewgamen]

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but at 11:35 I feel like that building is too tall for being right next to water. I'd honestly buy smaller buildings there and get taller the further into downtown.

[@jasperdevries8296]

Where is all the traffic??? :D

[@rodeletters]

Shouldn't 'Riverside Garden' be more like 'Bayside Garden'? :p

[@jeppenymark5672]

are you danish

[@MSP_aviation]

He deleted my favorite building :(

[@kevindaas7515]

love this city a lot but i feel like its too dense, like the buildings should be a little away from each other, it would look more realistic than stacking all these building like that

[@LorBell]

👌 ♥ 🏙

[@biselfish]

Tbh watching you PO-ing every single building is kinda boring. The episodes are getting longer, but there is less and less stuff in them. City looks great, but watching you building 4 towers in half an hour is just tiring.

[@EldinDzaferagic]

It lost its soul kinda with all these new big buildings.. especially these two with pointy top, they are just not fitting aesthetics and looks city gives..

[@TeamGamingSWE]

I thought the same, some of the new buildings look a bit grey and boring I think.
