In the first installment of Europeanism, we build a big central train station, before quickly directing our attention towards one of the main islands of the city, building a large central plaza situated in front of a monumental eclectic style city hall. The area surrounding this structure is dominated by a mixture of different European architectural styles from Paris, Berlin, etc, featuring residential, offices and street-level commercial, shops and restaurants.

Europeanism is a laid-back Cities: Skylines sandbox project mixing different European architectural styles and principles of urban planning and infrastructure. It follows no set narrative and is not geographically specified to any given region or country within Europe. The story of the city is whatever you as a viewer envision it to be. Good music and (hopefully) good builds is the mantra.
(I have no idea whether it will be a big series, but I as I want to work on multiple projects to allow for more creativity, challenge myself, avoid burn-out and provide more varied content - I decided I would rather share my experimental work on this city (and others) than not 😊)

It would be extremely interesting to hear if any of you guys can come up with a story for this city as it unfolds :-) As mentioned, being relatively locked into a set theme and narrative in The American Dream, and before that, Project Japan, I have been wanting to build something mostly free of historically correct restrictions and rules, with good music (subjective) and some good Cities: Skylines footage (even more subjective, crap!) being the mantra. Hope you guys n gals will understand - Anyways, shouldn't be long before a new episode of The American Dream, have a great weekend everybody! :o)
Btw here are some pics :-) imgur.com/gallery/CRVb9
I LOVE your builds! But I always wondered (because it was my favourite) what happened to the European/UK city series? I really loved it:( Also, could you base your public transport onto that of London, where outside connections merge in with inner ones, commuters use trains, etc.? Thanks!
How about this:
*THE ROMAN EMPIRE ARRIVED*
will you finish a series?! pls don't move on yet! :D
Given the French-esque feeling of the initial area, your could call it Granquour (a Francofication of the combination of Grand Court) for the rather flash cathedral and courtyard in front.
For about 35 years I have been designing a small European city (Roienbourg), capital of the kingdom of Cambrianne (a mountainous country where Bretagne is now) in paper in map form. I have been tweaking it for years, using bits from hundreds of places all over Europe. Work, a marriage, a divorce (!) and kids have got in the way in that time. I discovered Cities: Skylines only yesterday by chance from a comment on a Tom Scott video. Wow, this is much how I imagine Roienbourg would look. You’re creating my vision. You sir, are a genius. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely love it.
@fabix9597 it's called creativity ya dunce, something your username doesn't consist of.
Add a castle converted to a university!
I think the street are too wide to be authentic European cities. European cities are packed, dense, and pedestrian friendly. But I can see this might be influenced by Parisian Rational Plan and not the traditional European Cities.
only preindustrial districts are like that. Cities that grew after the 1840s or so have wider streets.
TobiasM Exactly. The city should be grewing not constructed like that.
Yea I thought the city had quite a resemblance to Paris or Bueno Aires in terms of planning but it was still beautiful
That City hall is from my home city! Hannover! I can even see it from my balcony
Hab auch gedacht das kann nur unser Rathaus sein :D
Noch andere Hannoveraner hier? :D
Epic
Ja moin
@@gozkar2110 nein
Hey, as a suggestion, you could build a "Government District" with the City Hall and some embassies and decorate it with flag poles with flags of different countries everywhere.
🙄
That's a very good idea
22:44 RIP pedestrians
That central station at the beginning that you built looks similar to Vienna's main station, as its platforms 3-12 are also elevated. platforms 1-2 are underground on the original track that runs through the city and was the first public train transport inside the city with it going between elevated and underground. What I'd love to see is you trying to recreate an existing european city (not a capital, that would take years and a ton of mods.)
As most European cities have an established association football (soccer) club, I would definitely say that having at least one and possibly two clubs (as most European cities unlike American ones typically have more than one club competing in the nation's preferred sport) that perhaps could represent their neighbourhoods, like an established team in a more well-off neighbourhood versus a more grass roots but still strong team with loyal fans from a more working class area. Definitely though I would recommend putting in a soccer team (I would say the same for your American Dream series as MLS is consistently expanding) as I don't think any major European city, or any European town for that matter, doesn't at least some sort of team. Most small towns have a professional team and larger cities can have as many as 10-15 professional teams of varying levels and leagues and possibly hundreds of amateur ones.
It has a vibe to it, that I can't quite point to a certain city. But it somehow reminds me of a mixture between Karlsruhe and Mannheim city layouts. Very nice! :)
I would suggest a METRO system with proper Infrastructure like a yard. That could be cool, unique, and new.
I noticed that you were using american road signs, please use european ones in the next episode.
Can you do a project on Africa or South America? I’ve never seen anyone do one in Cities Skylines
Please, do a city like Rio de Janeiro!
Cape Town would be instresting
Or it could be in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
YES! Would be so cool to see a Favela done in Cities:Skylines.
Noodle Mango I've seen rio de janeiro cs series on youtube before. I preferred african cities.
22:43 Me, at Friday night.
💀💀💀💀💀💀
lmao the city hall is a recreation of the one in the city I live in. I really love your videos btw! The japanese city was amazing and the american one as well! Really cool to see something more european now!
This looks really awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Some advice for people who live in the "younger" countries of the world like the US or Australia:
When building european cities, keep following things in mind:
-Many big european cities are over 1000 years old, which means, they have almost everytime a small and old city-core which is the "old district", the oldest part of the city.
These districts are often very packed and dense, with small roads which are today mostly used by pedestrians, so focus on pedestrian roads when building this old district and smash in buildings over buildings. In my hometown, the old district consists of very many half timbered houses and before the War, there were almost only half timbered houses packed over and over, every meter counts.
-Think about where people 1000 years ago would have founded a town. Mostly directly at rivers with a small harbour for trading or where two rivers are merging, this gives control over taxes and was a attractive place to start a town.
-Dont forget cathedrals and churches, this is an old rule in european cities back in the days: The more wealth a city has, the more churches and cathedrals it has (Its the same thing with skyscrapers these days)
-Try to think about the layout of the main roads. To mention my hometown again: The main roads today are still the same roads as 1000 years ago.
-General trick: Try to imagine how a city evolves over a period of 1000 years, even two world wars did not change the system of streets very much.
Imagine to build district after district without destroying too much of the old structure but instead adding some streets carefully to make the city bigger and more modern.
Hope this helps a bit =)
Fimbulwinter-Outdoor great tips. I’d also add consider city walls circling the old area, anything between rectangular and oval in shape. Buildings with lots of alleys and hidden yards and squares between them.
@@tasty_fish good addition. The city walls of my hometown were torn down in the 20th century and were made into a huge park, so now there is a "green ring" surrounding the central city which is also protected by law. no buildings are allowed there.
Hannover Town Hall👌❤
I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the city hall of my hometown being placed as the second building.
This is super awesome! By far the best kinda european city anyone has ever built in cs. I know its just at the beginning but i love it so far.
This is so satisfying to watch just to plop the houses on the right places..😂😍
I watched the second video first, then came to this one. The disclaimer at the beginning is why I love your channel so much.
Dude that is basically Berlin xD. The Berlin Main Station next to a river and a government building on the opposit side. Good job you really nailed it with the european design.
Really glad too see another series, and one with a looser theme. I enjoy the American Dream series but having spent a lot of time in cities in the Southern US sometimes I'm like THIS IS TO ACCURATE FOR COMFORT BRO.
Damn. Except for the river thing, i almost felt like i was in Madrid. Well done!
I'm just saying, WOW! love all the details that are made. Keep up the good work!
Its like a good german city.
Greetings from Argentina
Joaquin Lazcano pensaba que estaba solo aca :)
Francisco Fridlmeier. Ja yo tambien;-)
It actually looks like Berlin's Ku'Damm (google it) :)
Malibur. You are right ;)
I think it's Paris and Berlin because there is " Place de la Bastille" I'm French
I think you should focus more on making districts that have a specific theme/style instead of putting various buildings that dont really fit together. Loved the 1st episode btw!
It's so beautiful, you are a incredible person. I'm recommend you to put scaffolding in facade of some buildings for to have the sensation that to be remodeling. Sorry if my english isn't so good.
how many fps do you have while ingame?
Stunning! Really detailed and beautiful!!
I love this. Just beautiful and not SUPER propcount high. Believe me, I've done worse! Great use of excellent assets and a very organic workflow. Inspiring.
really neat,.. though i disagree with the 3+3 lane Road. This is actually quite uncommon in european city centers. Unless you add a tram in the middle :)
Can you build a waterfront stadium/entertainment district where there is a soccer stadium (sorry I'm American) and buildings around it like a concert hall and a shopping area? I think this would be really beautiful especially with the cinematics .I love your American Dream series and can't wait to see where you take this one!
You could look up the "MediaSpree" project in Berlin. Is that somwhat like you envision?
TobiasM Yes that was kind of what I had in mind with the glass and modern design, but less office space and more shopping space. I think it would be beautiful if he also put in a stadium just to complete the look.
The city of Poort-Aan-Der-Lange-Kets (Port along the long Kets), nicknamed Portville by tourists due to the hard-to-pronounce name, is the capital of Nieuwburg, a small nation on the southern dutch-german border. As the name suggests, it's and inland port city on the estuary of the River Kets. The port is the 4th largest inland port of western europe, and the main source of income for the city. People mostly use the Kets Centraal Station to get in and out of the city, which is operated by Deutsche Bahn.
Across the station you can cross the river onto the "Onze-Lieve-Moeder Rotonde" (Our loving Mother roundabout), which holds a statue of the goddess Belena, a goddess worshiped by the ancient Gaullic tribes of the area and a popular symbol of the country. Carrying along you enter Arthur Rooijens Straat, a short but busy shopping street named after the country's first Prime Minister following it's independence in 1831. Even further along this street, you finally reach "Het Zonnenhof", the largest plaza within the city and the front area of Portville's biggest tourist attraction, Het Kopere paleis (The Copper Palace), the official Residence of the Nieuwburg royal family (also known as the Family of Nieuwburg).
Behind the palace and along the river lies a lonely monument simply known as Het Herdenkingsmonument, which shows all the names of civilians and soldiers killed during German Occupation in World War 2. Off to one side of the palace are Sint Trudo's Basilica, the biggest catholic cathedral in the city, and the 6-sided City Hall. On the other side is the Protestant church, known to locals as "Tweetorens" (Two Towers), The National Parliament and the unique circular red University of Art and Music.
In the mid 1500s, the city had a major fire which almost burned down the whole city. As such, almost all of it was rebuilt in the renaissance architectural style that still defines the city center. Most of the population speaks Dutch, but German is still taught in all schools as a mandatory subject and most of the population speaks it fluently.
I've got a bunch of more ideas, but I'll leave it at this for now. Might make a flag for the city and for the country, even if this isn't picked up.
Already Liking this City more!
i think you should use more cobblestone roads around the old town and you shoud build some communistic block of flats, it's a "must have" of every city in eastern europe :D and it would be cool to see some tram tracks
Nice works! I love yours cities. Hang it on!! I try to make my cities like you build it. ( sorry for my english i speak spanish)
this is amazing. i find this stuff to be a form of art.
Are the roads right-handed or left-handed?
recreate the vatican city please
I'm italian
Hey just as another suggestion, you could put some benches or places to sit in the big square, it feels like an empty space.
Magnificent aren’t they
Amazing! You're creating a piece of art
Would you consider doing a newly built low residential area nearby? Something like Jakriborg (Sweden). Or maybe an 'old town' with low buildings and narrow streets?
Also, several cathedrals and a large campus is necessary, but you already knew that.
... And an old fortress guarding the river downstream from the city.
Adding boulevards a la Barcelona or madrid could look interesting...
Finding the right assets for European cities is really hard especially because the streets are not usually grids
GREAT new project!
Dude! I swear to God, it looks exactly like Belgrade!
For your next city, you should make a Soviet/Russian city. It would be really cool. Your vids are really rad.
I am watching your videos since months and all i can say is...there are awesome and mindblowing...thx for this epic work.
But i have one wish....and i am shure i'm not the only one ;-)
Can you make a short video with all your mod settings and "ligth parameters" for your loyal long time followers :-)
Thx for all and greets from austria...cesa
You should look at Budapest's old town for inspiration.
what buildings pack you used? i need them so bad
Great video!! Can you tell me what's the specs of your computer? The game seems to run incredibly smooth!
i saw the first 40 seconds of this video and then i subbed
Great job and cool video. Just wondering what is that mod you are using with the magnifying glass on the right-down corner of the screen. The one that enable you to pick the building very easily.
those buildings dont even have their own backyards XD
you should try to add more round-about intersections Europe has a LOT of those
Would be cool having the city story like if soviet invated it after ww2 and that they built a lot of Sovietic neighborhoods around the city in brutalist concrete block style
This is so sick. Please make a tram line!
what mod do you use to place all the buildings
Really cool build! I know this is an older video but does anyone know where i can get custom buildings like the ones used in this vid?
hi amazing work, where did you got that portuguese pavement and portuguese wind rose?? i cant find it on steam.
4:29 Whats is the mod name of that type of builidings?? I was looking for it but i didn't find it.
You should look at München for inspiration, it is absolutely beautifull
how do you get these costum houses if ur having a pirated version?
Hey! I would like to know which mod are you using to place growable buildings without needing residential/commercial zoning. I have the mod that allows to move and copy buildings (I don't remember its name) but I still need to respect the zoning to place them, so it's not completely free
Wonderful
Ave Europa!
Damn, I can't wait to see more!
Just a small thing, as much as I love that palace, isn't it a bit too squeezed in? I'd imagine a whole private park behind it, at least
It's a City Hall, not a palace, so there likely wouldn't be any gardens around it.
Hey ! Congrats for this amazing city ^^ I was wondering which train station were you using ? I suppose it's in the Steam Workshop but what's its name ? Thanks and congrats ^^
The streetcars are really missing!
Infrastructurist You should come to visit Strasbourg, in the east of France, it could give you ideas and inspiration, check it out on Google Earth !
And of course, a huge congrats for all you've done so far
Any chance you’d share what map this is? I love this as a new series, and look forward to seeing more of it!
Its this London or another state?
designs some city of Brazil like Rio de Janeiro.
Hannover town hall!!
You should build a modern bank district like in Frankfurt.
New Save!! This is exciting !!
Woooow love it 😍😍😍
How do you get the search tab and all the different houses you can put anywhere?
I only have the vanilla european pack with no mods. But is the search tab a mod?
Can somebody pls help me
Simplesmente lindo.
Add a smallish castle a top a Hill in the middle of the city
Good video - but I spend most of the time wondering "but how did you do that?" Please show people how you do things, and not just what you do.
Add a border between two separate countries each with an individual style
Шедевр!
Amazing!
Awesome
I wish I could do someting like that. Its awsome man ta
You Build Hannover's City Hall and Berlin Central Station, so it has to be a German City!
Wow amazing!
Im just making a suggestion. Maybe you could make an South East Asian city. I never seen anyone build that
How is that train station called?
It needs some bike lanes
Next time, try doing this without the "Move it" mod
You should build a house for yourself on this one
Could you (maybe later) make a Russian-ish project? Blockies, bad cars, pretty Czech trams and other... Post-Soviet cities got much of common, but they also got many diffrences. (St. Petersburg that was called Palmyra of North, Siberian houses that were made of wood, Minsk got many Stalin-era buildings) And in C:S there is no good post-Soviet projects.
Константин Наумов I'm also thinking the same ideas, comrades. That would be a great cs series.
Looks like Ghent, Belgium
Please do some updated versions of quick builds
I built my own European city vanilla since im stuck on console but if I could show my results they are fantastic
Escuse me, the big serie it could be a mixture of french and english
