[CITIES XL PLATINUM] New city project "Eternity" (1)-Introduction

 Recently, I started new city plan. It is called "Project Eternity". For this city planning, I focused on citizens' life satisfaction. I installed each school, police office, and fire house at the edge of the avenue. And also, I decreased income tax and cooperate tax to boost the civil economy. In result, these strategies lower the external costs and increased citizens' satisfaction.
 International Airport is located in the South Western part of the city. The location was considered to reduce the noise pollution as much as I can. Besides the airport, that gray area is a specialized zone for trading companies. About 10000 citizens are working in this area.
 This area is like 'Manhattan' for the city. This area is located in the middle of the city. This area is being divided into three sectors. They are Uptown (the northern part), Greenbelt (to reduce sprawl effect) and the downtown (the southern part).
 Since many citizens are working for the trading companies, this city is struggling with high traffic congestion (especially in the highway that connects main district and airport). I planned to build five more bus lines and three more metro lines to reduce the traffic issue.
First review on this project
 Population: About 1,000,000
Unemployment rate: 5~7%
Main problem: High traffic congestion, which damage commuters
Solution: Build more public transportation, widen the road
