Please read!
If you wish to use the city or parts of it in your own server/project/video etc., you are free to do so, as long as you mention me in the description of the project. If you fail to do the aforementioned (and moreover if you claim it as your own content), you could be reported for stealing/unoriginality.
Frequently Asked Questions

No, except for some fast food joints, gas stations etc. I work on this project alone, so to complete it faster I focus mainly on the exteriors.
What resource pack are you using?
A slightly tweaked version of Soartex Fanver.
What are the co-ordinates for the city centre?
X: 580, Z: -525.

There is now a dedicated YouTube channel for the project. At the moment it only features videos of the city made by others, but I do plan to make a trailer in the near future, possibly after the next update.
About the project
After ditching my old project Mattula back in December 2011, I decided to start off a clean slate and thus begun to work on the city of Mattupolis. Once complete, the city will consist of a diverse range of commercial, residential and industrial districts.
Mattupolis is a fictional Pacific Northwest -themed city, based mostly on Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. My aim is to create a somewhat modern, living, realistic and interesting city environment and not just a bunch of sterile skyscrapers with some roads scattered about.
So far there are 150+ high-rises with more coming up fast, an observation tower based on Seattle's Space Needle, a large urban park with pristine nature right next to the ocean, a huge multi-purpose arena, at least one Tim Hortons or Starbucks per block, a dam and a convention center, only to name a few. As for infrastructure, the city boasts an extensive freeway system, the most important part of it being Mattupolis Beltway. Since New York City was my initial inspiration, the very center of Downtown is loosely based on Times Square. There is also a SkyTrain-inspired subway network under construction, and an airport is in the plans.
From the looks of it right now, I will only furnish a few select buildings, as I barely have enough spare time to build the exteriors to begin with. I would like to see this project completed within the next couple years, not 20 years from now ;) More pictures will be uploaded as the city grows (Keep track of my blog, the link is above!). I also have plans on making a trailer video of sorts at some point.

Ps. Sorry for my bad English, i'm not a native speaker ;)
I'm curious. How long did it took to build it? I'm really impressed. Also, are you serious? 30% complete? It's like 50%.
:DDD
I was wondering if a friend and I could use your map for our Minecraft roleplay. We will credit you of course, for the map.
The city is Beautiful, but you can do the bc Place, rogers arena, world science,Convention center, aquarium of vancouver, some residential buildings and others.
