Update one
This is a creation of my own, I started roughly a year ago but due to errors in loading in new world in. I decided to update the world to 1.8 from 1.6.4 and give my city a make over using MCEdit to copy over a few building. This is what i have created again so far, i'd love to hear of your opinions.

I've now copied over my art gallery (the big blue building) and four new buildings. The body of water behind the art gallery is new for this world but inspired from my old world as there was also water behind it but in a very different style.
There is no art in the gallery yet but that will come in time.
I also realise that there isn't much decoration surrounding the body of water this shall also come in time shortly.

So just like I said I would yesterday I've added some decoration surrounding the body of water at the back of my art gallery. You will also notice the two brand new buildings surrounding the water. Personally I think this area looks really good, I would love to hear your opinions of it though. I'd also love to hear suggestions of what to build in the future.
I also thought id add a nice day time picture for a change!

Finally, seven new worlds later i have my city back up online.
New additions this time include a large shopping street from my old city containing 72 shops, un-furnished they may be but I think they look good.
Ive also added four new yellow buildings, they serve no purpose other then to look good.
There is also some new shops that aren't yet fully completed but shall be in the near future, I've also got plans in mind for a large shopping centre that I will hopefully start work on soon.
As I would really appreciate some comments telling me what you think of my builds, improvements for them, and totally brand new ones!!!

Sooooo after a few more worlds I think this time i actually have got it working!!
And now I've finally started work on a smallish shopping centre in my city. So far ive got some of the exterior, I still need to do the roof. This is going to be one of few buildings where I'm going to focus on the inside of the building as well.
The shopping centre will be connected by the subway system I'm going to start to put in place, like i had in my 1.6.4 world.
As always I'd appreciate some feedback on my world, good or bad as long as it's honest!!

So I've been on a week today!!
It has been really fun for me to see people view my work. I have gotten over 300 views and even though that isn't a lot, it has made me feel great that now so many people have seen my work that I do.
To celebrate this small milestone I though i would you show the old Colzanberg in 1.6.4, I only have a few screenshots but if you like what i have put up I shall take more and we can re live the past together!!
The screenshots that I have uploaded are part of the old financial district.
I am sad to say goodbye to this world as I did spend so very long on it, but i am hopeful for the future with my brand new city looking good so far.
As for my new world I am looking forward to creating new buildings inspired by the past, with the help of your suggestions which I'd really appreciate.

Hey guys!! sorry I didn't post anything
yesterday. I hadn't really worked on my city I was busy so I didn't
think it as worthwhile uploading anything, anyway today I've done a
little more work on my park, I have plans for a Lake surrounded by trees
and sugarcane with a bridge crossing it which hopefully should look
really nice.
I will also be adding a cafe to my park sometime soon.
If you have any ideas for more things to add please tell me!!
I am also starting to begin work on my subway system. I will fully
open up to my use of MCEdit for clearing space for tunnels as I really
can't be bothered with building them by hand but yeah hope fully I will
have started work on the 8 line subway system, if you have any
suggestions for names for the subway lines please also tell me.
Have a good weekend guys and hopefully i'll have something a little
nicer to upload next time, please also check out my other posts to keep
up to date with whats going on!!

Update eleven
Not much new to report in my city today, I have just created two new buildings to go along with my red tower.
These buildings also feature the old flag design that I created and it looks very Imperialistic. I think this area will be the symbol of power for Colzanberg showing the world that we are not to be taken lightly.
There are no furnishings in these buildings maybe that will come in the future.
Let me know what you think, and check out my other posts to keep up to date with what I'm doing!!!
Also you can now follow me on twitter @MCcitybuilder15 to keep even more up to date with what goes on in my builds!!

Sorry for the lack of posts I've been rather busy in real life but now I am on holiday for seven weeks for the summer so I shall be updating my threads again very soon.
Thank you for your patience and support.
I also think it is time I tell you what resource packs and shader packs I use.
for my resource pack I'm using Pamplemousse http://www.minecrafttexturepacks.com/pamplemousse/
And for the shaders I'm using Sildurs Vibrant Shader Link Removed.
Using both of them together gives any world a real world feel to it and makes it stunning to look at, just be sure to have a beefy computer as even on my high powered laptop I don't build with the shader on as it causes a lot of lag i just turn it on for a screenshot.
As for what version of Minecraft I use, I use 1.8.9. I refuse to use anything above that at the moment as I just don't like the versions above.
I think adding some large scale public sculptures would add a lot to your city-scape. As well as custom trees, and other little details to make it look like a real city. You can also add more of the kind of buildings you typically see... City Hall... Court House... Recreational fields/parks/pools... a library... schools/university... police station/fire station.. all that jazz!

Very epic build going on here!
Thank you so much you've set me up with ideas for months I really appreciate it keep coming back and hopefully I'll hopefully will have got some constructed.
Ps the idea of custom tress is my favourite idea as even though it is small it is one of them things that will just really transform the city so thank you very much!!!

Okay so after a long break away from minecraft I am back and ready to build again!!,
I've come up with an idea for an underground plaza area. At the moment it's a blank canvas for me to transform. There will be underground shops, with connections to the subway.
It is gonna be designed as a nice area for people of all ages to come and relax and do some shopping surrounded by high end apartments and restaurants, I hope you can share my vision and support me until it's actually something to look at because at the moment it really is a blank canvas!
Thank you for sticking around waiting for me to update my builds again, to keep even more up to date check out my twitter @MCcitybuilder15
That sounds like an epic addition! you can work in some fountains, play areas, and what-not. A lot of malls are re-designing themselves to include a lot of what you've mentioned in order to stay relevant (and in business). This is an interesting article:

No worries! it's amazing what a few shrubberies can do!

So I've finally finished the exterior of my shopping centre, currently only two floors it wouldn't be too hard to make it three floors.
I've tried to go for a modern design for this build (I know I use a lot of Sandstone and wood, trust me I will change my materials soon)
Not much else to report on this post, i'd love to hear your opinions of looks of the building, and then maybe some suggestions for future builds.
Thank you very much to the small amount of people that do view my work, it means a lot me so yeah thank you!!!

Update eight
so work on the park has begun,
I admit to the use of MCEdit for filling in the grass as quite
frankly i do not have the time or patience to fill it all in by hand.
I've only got a little done so far but more shall be done in the future!
sadly I've managed to break my minecraft again so I'm uploading without my shader pack on!!
please check out my other posts to keep up to date with whats going on, Thank you guys!!
