South Sudan to build a new capital city

[chiefayic2]

New proposed location

This area is approximately 19,000 sq kilometers and would be curved from the four states of Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei and Lakes. The area proposed lies across the Nile spanning from Rajaf East (mouth of Kit River) in the south and extends eastwards to Ngangala, Khor Ingliz, Longairo. It then extends northwards through Lafon to cover southern grasslands of Jonglei State. To the west it mainly borders the Nile from Rajaf to Mangalla and northwards to Pariak. The City would also have an extended aisle into Lakes State that would broaden deeper into the territories of Rumshiel such as Minkaman, Wunthou and Kalthok.

THANK YOU!!!! and why in the world is the city so short and spread out? all of the huge open spaces would be nice if there was some density to the city.

WANNABE!!.....How so? Anyways, what exactly is wrong with "Africans" designing their city in image of D.C. or any other city for that matter [not saying this is the case here]?

[arzaranh]

the fact that you have to ask that question just proves the point

[chiefayic2]

And that point is?

Great work chief, the new city looks so much better and the location is not bad IMO...

Are there any other locations being considered or do you think this is going to be final?

[chiefayic2]

Thanks, they may scale down the current proposed area....other than that, I think this is the final location.

South Sudan is a huge place, they don't need density because they don't live in Hong Kong, they have tons of space to expand, this is something that works well for them.
