Invented cities

 

In the same way, like planning fictional railway-lines, it’s also fun to draw invented cities or town on maps. I like to set settlements on special flat area in the alps. Combined with planning also railways and roads to the fictional city. For the city itself, one have to set the different quarters and functions of the city in the new landscape. The urban traffic is a special question too.

Some exaples of my plannings (without any demand to transfer it into reality):

 

Lämmeren

On a terrace of Wildstrubel-mountain on 2200-2500 m.a.s. With beautiful quarters for family houses on sunny terraces. Beside the lake there would be the central business district. In the valley downside the industrial area.

Piora

Projected for about 50'000 inhabitant in Val Piora (Ticino) at 1900-2300 m altitute. With a network of an own city-rail

 

 

Macon

 

Town in canton Graubünden on a nice little plateau with many lakes. Tooth weeld railway and street connect it with the existing village of Susch in Engadin. Living place for 12’000 inhabitants. Own ski area.
