Starting a New Capital City With Major Infrastructure! Cities Skylines

We're continuing the brand new city in the Cities: Skylines Region of Coniferia! With the initial foundation being well in place, we're moving forward with some major infrastructure works - aligning some of the existing avenues and roads, and greatly expanding the highway network - resulting in a sunken stretch of highway cutting southwest of the designated Downtown. With these major changes in place, we're much closing to starting the build process for the new city!

- What's the rationale behind this project:
What happens if a washed-up-used-to-be-YouTuber gathers a bunch of "generic" looking assets (though mostly inspired by Australian / Canadian cityscapes) with the hopes of creating a Cities: Skylines region full of towns and cities that both look realistic and are inspired by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, while at the same time don't really replicate any one particular style? No idea, let's find out.

Join me in this Cities: Skylines modded gameplay / let's play / timelapse series as we expand the region, and build new infrastructure, highways, public transit, industrial pockets, NIMBY-neighbourhoods, sprawling suburbs and bustling downtowns. And of course, use tress excessively to cover up any imperfections!
