Trying something a little different with this video- more of an informational/commentary style- but I’ll be returning to original city builds after this one.
What did you think of this city? It’s endlessly fascinating, and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of understanding it.
Huge thank you to Greg Girard for creating such an incredible distillation of info, images, and stories about this city. Without his book, this project wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. Check it out!
