In the centre there is the old town. Then goes industry area (circle), than goes the next houses area, and now it again starts to create a new industry area outside houses area. The town looks like circles (one inside the other).athanasios wrote:Cities expand and you have houses around the industries.

In my City, being an island, limited space is a big constraint. With land prices rocketing sky high, many industries have closed & have shifted to places away from the city. Many will be tempted to ask why do they do this . Well the government gives some incentives to develop rural areas + they make lots of money just selling the land in city. I feel other industries should shutdown too like farms, fruit plantation, forests with a new one coming up near it ( in relative terms).
Another point raised will be - when do you close down an industry? The solution- when a particular industry is surrounded by town zone 4 (i mean town with concrete side walks with lamp posts). then the real estate prices will be very high & it would be highly profitable to shift the industry to another place outside the town.
Waiting for the idea to be pounded to dust!!!
