Inhabited Beauty

For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

This was the exact design I used when playing Sim City as a kid.

The idea of superblocks dates back to urban planning ideas of 1930s. Unfortunately it got coupled to awful building quality and car dependent mobility. It reached the peak of popularity in the 1960s communist world.
