I want to make a large city of 1 million+ people. My city currently has 50,000 residents and I need help expanding. If anyone wants to edit Taimatsu, West Commonia, then ur welcome!
Connection to transport
## Please not too many motorways xD So I want to connect my city up to: * Railway / subway systems * Highways, though only 3. I already am connected to 1 so I need 2 more. Also, If anyone wants to extend the great ocean road feel free to do so. This road is going to be only Primary, not like a Motorway. * Rivers, though only 2. We already have the Dorian’s mouth. I am thinking another river can go Inwards and link to the Dorian circa fifty Kilometres down the line. However, 2 rivers is a lot and I might just avoid that option. However, what are your opinions on this?
- Ferry Routes, going to major Commonian Cities and to South Island Locations!
Thanks!

A city of 1 million + is an ambitious project that takes hundreds of hours of planning and mapping to make it realistic. Are you sure that is what you want to do?
My advice: Think chronologically. first create natural features that have existed before the city, like lakes and peaks. Then map older, separate settlements and let them slowly grow into one city. Finish motorway network only after most of the streets and landuse have been mapped,
Or just lower your expectations and create a smaller urbanity. Or join a non-finished project elsewhere.
I made some curves a bit smoother in the railway and coastline to make them look more realistic.
Happy mapping!

For ferry route, Taimatsu is ~1000km away from Altaville, which mean it would cost 10 hours on the fastest, most-fuel-consuming watercraft that’s available on earth nowadays, and even more on more economical watercraft, while it would still be more expensive than aircraft to operate. I think it is probably reasonable to have a car ferry and/or cruise ship option running between the two place but other than that those ferry would have been driven out of competition by planes.
Also, the city as it is right now doesn’t seems like a city with population of 50,000.

This is the reason why we will introduce a regional airport to the area. Not international though, as it doesn’t fit the size of the city. I can add this later. Right now I just need to work on some housing projects to increase the capacity of the city.

1000 km is only a little more than an hour flight and aircraft you commonly see in regional airports can definitely handle it. As for international or not, the only difference between an airport that is international and an airport that is not is the border check and custom facility.
