Thanks Arisuaq for the tips, more roads and so are coming soon, this is only the historical center

I agree you need roads, but I like the fact that you started with small details. Too many newbies start with highways and large city grids. Starting with details is more preferable, that’s how communities mostly evolve in real life.

However, I recommend you add some natural features like rivers, lakes or mountains nearby your settlement to make the area more exiting – it is difficult to add them later in a realistic way.

Don’t hesitate to ask for advice if you need some.

Happy mapping! :)

The location of your city is peculiar, and it doesn’t have any natural features nearby to help it out. So I would suggest adding a natural feature, be it a river, a lake (of a realistic size), or a mountain.
I would also suggest changing some of the pedestrian roads from areas into lines, then connect it to others, like Arisuaq said.

Thanks,
Zekiel

Oh I didn’t know! Thanks!!

It’s really good that you took the time to make all those extra details, rather than making your city large but empty. I can tell that with time, you’ll do really well.
