Hey guys! I’ve recently gained ownership of a territory, that I called Oxhano, and I’ve just finished the first city/village of the country! Here it is, it’s called Techami City
What do you think of it?
Thanks

In my opinion the population size looks far too small to be considered a “city.” I think you should downgrade the OSM tag to “place=town”

You are off to a nice start, though there isnt much to comment yet due to its small size. Liek what Thunderbord says, the settlement is too small to be a city, unless you plan to expand it further.
What are the plans for the city though? Where is the central/downtown area, wheres the airport and main railway station and where the local government will be?

Not a bad start! Streets look quite realistic and you have mapped the waters first, good!
Some remarks:
Don’t map buildings tight into roads. Consider the width of the road, leave at least a few metres between the road line and the building wall. Main streets with 4-6 lanes plus pedestrian tracks should have at least 50 m space between opposite buildings.
The term “national Park” usually refers to a nature reserve. If this is what you have in mind, tag leisure=nature_reserve in stead of leisure=park. In a city, however, one would expect a proper city park in stead, so perhaps you want to change the name.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the feedback!
@thunderbird: You are right, I’ll change it. I’ll probably change the name to something like Techamiston or something. We’ll see.
@zhenkang: Thanks! I actually don’t plan on expanding the city, it will stay a small city/town like that, I did forget about the local government though, thanks for mentioning it! Also it won’t have a railway station, but there will be one in a city a bit further south.
@lemonking: Thanks for the advice with buildings! I don’t plan on mapping a lot of them but I’ll take that in consideration with the schools. The city is in fact next to a national park, so I will tag the park as a reserve.
