At the top of the Coat of Arms is a fleur de Lys, Tientsin has been a french concession since 1835, Supporting the shield are a Lion protecting the city and a Dragon representing chinese culture and St George. In the shield, there is a Lion (the saint of the city is Saint Mark) and two chinese boats.

If I start a topic without picture , it is because I had a problems to create my region, the new NHP one " NHP Whitefall By Shadow Assassin ", on ST ( http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19047 ) is amazing, but SC4M or T doesn"t work on my computer ( I had the picture of NHP production, but then nothing appears....) So If someone could help me I would be very pleased !

well -- nice flag and CoA...really like the small background info! well -- hope you fix the problem soon...and i hope to see some development too...

Nice to see you back!

And great flag there! Looking forward to more...

Looking forward to this I must say.

thanks. Re-downloading stuff ( I had restarted my plugins folder ^^) Still get my lil'problem with SC4-Mapper , so I can't render the region  &mmm

cool cant wait for the pictures :P your old MD was great tho  ;)

Very nice start, love the flag and crest.

Looks like a very interesting region to have a city. Interesting to see what the cities are like.

What is the extend of current French influence in Tientsin??

Is it possible that some foreign characters have caused your problem with the mapper? I know some characters can mess up some of the tools.. and if you are trying to use chinese characters, etc that MAY be a problem.. Good luck.

thanks to wouanagaine, I've finaly imported the region on the game :) , Have to test my plugins, and the story will start !!

 :-\  ... between a sad new (Nova Vesfalo ) and a good one ; Tientsin ...

Good luck with this new project  :thumbsup: ... and a work having requested months (or years ) being able to be lost in a few seconds , don't forget to make back up(s) this time .  ;)

I am eager to see what you develop.

I'm sorry to hear Nova Vesfalo had to be shut down but i wish you all the best with your new CJ......looks like it's going to be just as fab. I look forward to seeing more. :)

Hello Nova,

Wonderful to see you instigating this new project!

The idea as well as the flag and crest are top notch as we have come to expect of you :)
Good luck with it and I look forward to see what the future bings to Tientsin!

Strechnitz.

Imagine, that little bit of the opening and look how many of us you have hooked already....can't wait to see more.

Good luck for Tientsin - Fort Bayart.

Can't wait to see a chinese looking CJ.

Thanks all !! (still don't have all the mlugins I need, but Simtro search is buging...) The region planing has started. Today a little preview of Tai Po (the Tientsin's Pudong) and a map of "Ile de Tientsin"

As Emperor Stormont asked. Here lillte recap of how France interact in Tientsin since 1830. Today France has a powerful influence in Tientsin. The French Consulat is the largest one in China (located in Fort-Bayart Town), located in the former Presidential Palace. Now Tienstin is a SAR, like Honk Kong? Tientsin has inherirted from France the aim to promote Human Rights and Democracy.

Old Town (tientsin): is a quite large square  where the Tientsin Castle is located and some old town now listed on Tientsin "monuments historiques"'s list.

French Town ( Fort Bayart) is the french part of Tientsin built in from 1834 to 1867 with a "beaux arts" plan and a replica of Notre Dame of Paris

Louis-Philippe Park borders the Old Town and the French Town, created to honnor Louis Philippe king of France ( July Monarchy)

Lafayette-Ville contains most of the 20s and 30s buildings. People compare Lafayette-ville to the Bund in Shanghai

St George's Presqu'ile was the summer location for FortBayart's Happy Few. Today the presqu'ile is a protected area to preserve this architectural heritage

St Genevieve University is largerst French University in Asia, founded in 1856 by Napolean III

Tai Po was the former Tientsin harbour. Today Tai Po is a ever growing CBD of Tientsin.

Nova welcome back and im sorry to hear about the loss of Nova.... But im looking forward to see tient devolp!!!

Looking very nice....I certainly am impressed....

Great region overview there! And nice development so far. :thumbsup:

I think I gonna like this one :)!!

the region pic looks really cool!!!

i must say thats a great start nova  :thumbsup:, im curious where u got that covered walkway the white and glass covered one.  ()what()

Funny, I thought I posted here.


Well, I like how the teaser's going, and good choice of location for the city, by the way.

Still having one or two problems with your plugins folder, or did you forget to get a dependency - there's a huge box just below the 'e' in French Town.

But I love how that covered walkway fits in between the buildings.

Like I said before, Nova Westfalo was a great MD and a pitty you had to stop.Still I am very happy to see you begin something new, and this is new one is off to an interesting start. Look forward to see what you will be doing here.

Good map!  :thumbsup:

Pat : thanks, it's just so comfy to get a game that bugged less :)
oldrogue: thanks
bat : thanks, it didn't go as speed as I want since I have to get that "Asian feeling" with a touch of Europe.
Une_ame: merci beaucoup !
suplado! : thank you , this region (by SA) is wonderful !
Filasimo ! thanks. For the covered walkway, I've found it on a japanese website (I've search it again and again, the only thing I'm sure fo i that it's on Snoreli's japanses websites list), it's called Arcade.
Shadow Assassin : thanks !! (I had some problems (hte St panras station, when Simtropolis wasn't working, no it's repair) Your map is awesome, just enought big and full of possibility !!
kwakelaar : It needed something more challenging, something fresh, and I think recreation of a former chiniese concession was a great thing to do
: sauron620: thanks


So like the previous updates, the city isn"t enough advanced to get a proper updates. Let's start with a map of Tientsi-Ile

This map shows the 4 administrative divisions of the Municipality of Tientsin (the municipality is a part of Tientsin SAR) and the highway and railway system.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg340.imageshack.us%2Fimg340%2F710%2Fregionjo9.jpg&hash=a7c36231d8cc6128fe457f64f964bb1866fc3631)

Transportation System : The Island of Tientsin is quite higly iragted by public transportation with metro , el-rail and tramway lines. The regional Railway system has 6 stations on the island. The Motorway system is not well developed on the Island, due to the prescence of a lot of large roads. Highways are free

In blue, Fort Bayart-Tientsin's District is the what we called the "Old Town", It hosts the Tientsin-Ile Town Hall, St George Cathedral, the Tientsin SAR Parliament and most of the embassy.

In Orange, Kennedy-Baoshan District is mostly a residential district with a lot of "à la Hong Kong" public housings.

In Yellow, Tai Po-Shai Pek District was a rural area until the construction of Lafayette boulevard in the 20s. Today it's the hearth of Tai Po Buissness Developement Zone (TPBDZ), the burstling new downtown of Tientsin.

In Green, (http://xn--saint%20george%20et%20sainte%20geneivive%20dsitrict-vpe) is the less populous part of Tientsin(s Island. It's protected space. It hosts the Sainte Geneviève University.

Everything in your picture fits flawlessly, a really excellent piece of work there!

Very nice quarter!

Most wonderful update Nova,

Would you mind if I place the invitation for the queen of Nova Vesfalo in here? since that MD is completed?

In other words, you are cordially invited instead :)

pipisphere: I' have the same "fresh start" than when I've staerted nova vesfalo !


Quick History Facts
The territory of Tientsin was ceded to France in 1830, when the Monarchy has been re-established. When France took the soverignity in Tientsin, François, last of child of the Duke of Nemours and exil compagnion of Louis Philippe, was apointed to be the Duke-Governor of Tientsin, He was the First Duke of Fort Bayart.

[/i]

In 1875, Charles Duke of Fort Boyart is deposed, he still the Duke of Tientsin, but the Governor-power is transfered to Prefect-Governor named byt the President of the French Republic.

Even if the Duke has no more political power, he still a strong personality in Tientsin.


No pic sorry !

MOD EDIT: Fixed the commenters' names, you had them down as image links, but I think you meant to have them italicised. - Fred

Great now I see pictures of this new CJ. It will be surely nice, as I really liked Nova Vesfalo!

This looks spectacular! I like the layout, not so much winding roads everywhere but people planned for the cities to grow. I like it. Say, where'd you get those big silver arches on the first page? Thanks. Later.

Looking good so far. I really like that last close-up shot. There's lots of nice colourful trees. :satisfied:

Nice city and history! Show us more.  :thumbsup:

That is a nice looking avenue you have made. I see there is still a lot to develop on the island before it will be anything like a real city. Will you be developing the mainland as well?

Hello,
Thanks you very much for the comments !! TOday it's time to look at Saint George Avenue, the central promenade of the french Town.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg204.imageshack.us%2Fimg204%2F222%2F02zu8.jpg&hash=d9846322291ebeeb12a715623833ad667ba57842)
Avenue Saint George was the fashionable promedanade for bourgeoise people back in the XIXth Century. Now Saint George Avenue resumes quite clearly was the french town is now : a pot pouris of old and low-quality buildings. A major restructuration plan is curruntly in porject at the Town Hall to requalify the "Place Saint George" in front of the Cathedral.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg253.imageshack.us%2Fimg253%2F2285%2F01ng1.jpg&hash=616ddaa4c83c0515296b11fbf9553ef63c5afb2b)
In the 90s, a unused park on Avenue Saint George has been open to construction. The Duc de Nemours tower has been errected. It's the highest point of the french town. Many people called it the "90s Mistake". It shows how the city has been managed from the 80s to 90s at the begining of the Economic Boom.

Behind Saint George Cathedral, starts Louis Philippe Park with a statue of the french monark.


Next time the banks of Saint George...

looking very good....and love the care you take with your fotos.....great job

Nice update. I like the mixture of the styles.
lol.. the 90s mistake.. :D

Wonderful update Nova!

The mosaics are very impressive and he 90's mistake is a nice depiction of state politics! :thumbsup:

Strech.

Excellent update here, you've managed to combine European and Asian elements really well. Just two things that irk me a little but don't really distract from the quality of the pictures. First the sidewalks I don't think fit very well. And perhaps one way streets instead of two two ways?

Anyway looking forward to more.

Great work there. I really love that night shot with the huge tower. I don't see the mistake though.. haha  :satisfied:

very nice...I've always wanted to do something with the Asian material myself, but I've never gotten around to it. I like what you've done so far, can't wait to see more of your creative genius.

very pretty good works  &apls &apls

oldrogue thank you very much !
BoKriF Merci ! Though the 90s Mistake was a nice way to introduce Asian Urban Planning .... of the past( who's thinking of Shanghai or Beijin.... not me  :D)
StrechnitzThanks, if you don't mind I've made an ambassy for Strompon (quite a duplicata of the vesfalian one, will show it suite soon)
Yomanthanks ! Yeah you're right whit one way ! froget to do it, for the sidewalk I don't know if I can't change them, they should have been packed....

Congratulations and welcome aboard!

Wow...you combine Asian and European buildings really well here!  And I love those strip-plazas...they look awesome!  Heh heh...you took a bit more time with that cathedral in your town than I did in mine (I just plopped it in the first block I found that would fit it...%wrd).

One thing, though...some of your skyscrapers appear to come out of nowhere; nice mid-sized buildingsSKYSCRAPERnice mid-sized buildings, you know?   Just something I noticed...

I like what's going on in here, though :thumbsup:!  I'll try and come around more often... ;)

You're doing some splendid work here, my friend! While I was saddened by the closing of Nova Vesfalo, I must say that I'm definitely enjoying this! I also apologize for not commenting sooner, but I'm all caught up and ready to follow along!

Also, with this post, I'll be moving you in to the "Ones to Watch." Congratulations!

Today we didn't go far awat from "Promenade Saint George", just on the banks, a part of one of the longest boulevard of Tientsin: Boulevard Lafayette. There's it "Quai de Nemours" '(Nemours' Banks).

Nemours' Banks is an important point on Tientsin public transportation map, here , most of the subway, buses, tramway's lines stop and The Saint George Railway Station, the biggest one is just metter away . During Rush hours it's quite a dangerous place !

"Quai de Nemours" are directly connected to the "Promenade Saint George" (the prespective of the cathedral); The Gates are callled Napoleon Gates, it came from the wall of the old fort, which has been destroyed to create the "New Town"

Back on the tracks !

So today, some parts of the Old City.

The old City of Tientsin (Vielle Ville), also know the chinese town is a roughly a rectangle, formerly circled by walls, destroyed in the late XIXth. The old city is quite well preserved, some european architecture can be found inside the walls, but mostly is hasn't been touched. We canot say that for the others districts outside the walls, all of them has been detroyed in the XIXth century.

In light blue, the pre-french urbanization, in Dark blue the Walled City of Tientsin. In less than 70 years, more than 50% of the traditional urbanization on Tientsin Isle has been detroyed. Since the Preservation Act of 1972, all those heritage is protected. Outside of Tientsin Isle on Tientsin Mainland, the situation is far better, most of the old cities has been preserved with view european intrusian , so do the monastries and temples.

Hey vesfalo, great to see Tientsin back again.  And what an update to come back with!  A great mixture of Chinese and European architecture.  And those markets looks really good there, especially the bit seperated by the canal.

Congrats, you did a wonderfull job here. Interesting to see all the detailing you did in your pics. Keep up the good work, I will be looking for more.

Very nice pictures.  If I could make only one suggestion it would be for you to check out Jeroni's side walk modd.   THe red sidewalk in the first picture looks out of place.  BUt if I were to over look that, I would say the picture isvery good.  ;)
I really like the map.
Great work.

Roc-à-Pic lies just next to Fort Bayart, crossed by the 10km long Boulevard Lafayette. Roc-à-Pic was at the end of the XIXth century a summer destination for some wealthy famillies of Fort Bayart, it's was nicknammed the litle tientsinese Riviera.
During WWII the japanese bombed most of the houses, today just a few remain. In the 60s with the will of George Pompidou, Roc-à-Pic was rebuilted around the project of France-Expo.

1-What Historians call Tientsin Dynastic Period started around 120 BC. A Engraved stone had been found in a temple in Sainte Genevieve. On the " Temple Stone" is written the priest of Hau (候), who describe himself as King of Tientsin.
From 120 BC from XVIth century AD, not much happened; usal things, conquests, things like that, you can picture :)
The reign of Li Hongzhang (李鴻章) starded the real growth of Tientsin Kingdom. Tientsin Castle was built, the City Walls as well, and some summer castle.
In 1589, Tientsin Dinasty acorded the right of setlement to the Compagny of Jesus. 50 years latter, Kangxi (康熙), son of Li Hongzhang became christian. He will not be followed by his sons, but a certain tolerance has been instaured in Tientsin. At the begining of the XVIIth century about an half of Tientsin Population was Catholic.
In 1640, Portugal Kingdom signed a land leased with Tientsin for  a liltle island as well as a trading post in Tientsin Harbour.

2-Due to a sucession problem, Tientsin fall into civil wars. Although, the civil war ened in 1662,this resulted of the weakness of Tientsin's army against China.
In 1670, The Ming Dinasty declated war against Tientsin. On April 1671, , last of king of Tientsin, has been sent to jail in Beijing. The kingdom became a vasal of China, and a new Dinasty coming from Beijin. This new Dinasty will act more governor that king. During this period, Tientsin wasn't a secure city with many riots and crime. The Tientsin people tried hard to gain their freedom back.
The Portugal trading post lease was transfered to the Ming Dinasty and  extended in 1720 to Saõ Cristofao, Ilha Grande and Wo Shau Island.

1- In 1820, Tientsin was incorporated to Imperial China, causing riots. With the restoration of the Company of Jesus in 1810, a French Jesuits Hipolythe de Couet was sent to a mission in China. He heard of the situation of Tientsin. Hipolythe tries to make France intervene in the conflict, but the french political instability didn't help his aim and no other european countries wanted to intervene. His dream was to create a Chinese Catholic State.
He begged the French Monarchy for help, with no respond.

2-In 1840,The recently created July Monarchy, searching a "fait d'armes" to proof its legitimity try to convince China to sell Tientsin to France.Because of the nightmarish positions of Chinese Representants and the un-strategic position of Tientsin, China accepted to sell Tientsin Island, where most of the Catholics resided, but keep the control over Tientsin Mainland. With the Convention of Tientsin, the Duchee of Fort Bayart is created.

1-1889, After the boxer war, the Convention for the Extension of Tientsin Territory was signed in Beijing.
2- 1909, French-Portugal Joint Declaration signed in Paris transfered the souvereignty of Saõ Francesco to France.
