Been working on this map with a few friends since about mid December 2012, it's an ongoing project of mine that is just a complete joy to do (though a bit frustrating at times when running low on ideas or motivation as all artists tend to suffer from eventually).
The map began as a superflat creative mode map that I was going to use to rebuild an old mansion from a survival mode map, as I did not like the placement of the mansion. The mansion was right in front of a huge mountain so there was literally no backyard, and it was surrounded by sand. Rather than spend hours blowing up the mountain and removing the sand at a tedious pace, I decided to completely redesign a replica of the same mansion on the new superflat world.
NOTE: The mansion is not my creation, it is actually from a creator named "Nolife2018" and it was featured on Top 5 Minecraft Structures - Houses. I do not take credit for the design, I only rebuilt a faithful recreation of it.
For scenery purposes, I built a road at the front gate with a sidewalk. This was when I suddenly got the idea to build sprout out and make an entire city. I plan on filling the entire map as a fully functional city, however as of this posting, I have only completed a 1/8th if even that, grid of the city on the map.
Since Dec 2012, there are several structures on the map ranging from office buildings, skyscrapers, hotels, a movie studio, stadium, etc.
I'll post a few current photos of the city as it stands today, though my main reason for posting this is that I would love to have some experienced builders help build some more city like structures and interiors. Our current goal is to have a full fledged amusement park within the city (rides, stores, haunted houses, etc), among other things as well.
Also included below is a Youtube video showing off parts of the city to give you a better idea of what we have so far:

If you think you're experienced, over 18 and have a mic and can prove your work, please feel free to reply to this thread, and I'll provide you my Gamertag to add me on XBL.
