I don't know what to think about the gray walls, they just look a bit out of place, maybe they need a bit more infrastructure around them.

Hope you all like it, and comments are welcomed.
First an overview of the currently developed area. Though this is slightly outdated now.
And now some closer shots. This is the latest development, the rest is older. The housing project is only 3 years old.
The same area-ish, but from a different angle.
These two pictures are the newest ones, they show off the most recent developments. Newbury Industrial Estate and the small growing office centre known as Surbiton.

-Actually the first pic in the slideshow means nothing, it was illustrating that age demographics have no effect on demand, anyway..

And theres alot more where that came from, though I think I'll grant your bandwidth a rest for now.
Actually, just to put this in context most of these pictures are from this city below.

Although after seeing what you've done it does make my fingers itch to install the game again, it looks awesome.
How do you actually plan out your zones? I was just slapping down a Residential zone and then throw down a Commercial zone next to it with an Industrial zone a little way away. Doesn't seem to pan out so great in the long run though, I guess I just need to play a lot more and get some trial-error feedback to see what's best?

This city was sort of planned, though really I was just experimenting with interesting and functional transport networks initially.
I started the city something like the below image - first image I posted in this thread incidentally. However this is after upgrading the medium residential to high residential I believe. You can get a good idea of how I started it though. If you find you get strapped for cash, you don't need to actually provide all services, poor sims will still move in even with no healthcare or education. From the picture you can also see I have a large no jobs problem, but over time its possible to sort such things out.

Here is another slightly older - 11 years later - closer shot of the same area Warbz, I used the avenues to channel traffic, which although space wasting was quite effective IIRC.
And a top tip for when you're starting a city, keep an eye on the traffic overlay. Streets will very quickly become congested with even a small amount of development, upgrade them often to roads - which have 10x the capacity. I should also note that I have used the Ultra NAM traffic simulator for most of my cities, as it ups the max capacity of each transport network so that it is actually able to handle large populations. Although the default game is built so that your supposed to dense up, the traffic simulator was not built for it.

I think I'll reinstall SimCity 4. I should still have my cities and all the downlloaded content.
Edit: Yup, still have my cities.

And here is another picture, now comes the fun part. I have to try and integrate rail into my old cities - they're denser than a chav who has just had a lobotomy. Time for massive restructuring methinks...
And to give you an idea of the region atm, and the task ahead of me.. here is a current region overview. You may notice the highways appear black and red, and the same for the rail, this is because tiles that haven't been opened and saved since I switched the legend will display the old colour scheme. These probably won't be full size, as I imagine forum software will shrink them.

2. Best resolution that it offers me, not sure what it is.
3. Yes.
I'll take a look tonight.
