I didn't really venture in the canyons... I'm not sure that it was even possible to go there because the "streets" were basically dusty construction sites.
I was there during a very sunny afternoon, and the amount of light was just fine by me : I usually never get enough of sunlight and the lack of it wasn't a problem for me at that time.
I'm thinking that the impression may be slightly different when the Pentominium is completed... taller, and also bigger ?
About the density :
Even though the height of the skyscapers is really impressive, the area seems not nearly as dense as some parts of Lower Manhattan or Hong Kong. The street map, formed by a grid of avenues at right angle, like Midtown Manhattan, reduces the impression of density, as opposed to the chaotic maze of, say, the City of London.
Then again, the area is virtually uninhabited. I wonder what it'll look like in 5 years. Will it be overcrowded ? Will it look like a ghost town ?
Anyway, I'm a big fan.
What are your thoughts, Malec ?
