With no particular goal in mind I just built because I enjoy it. Everything is original, apart from perhaps the obvious influence I got from the Colosseum, but my version is in no way an accurate copy.

I also didn't plan my city in advance, I just built as I went. Many buildings have their interiors done to different levels of finish. A few are just hollow shells. Much of the city is still under construction.

There is also a working monorail and subway transit system, and some of my later buildings have redstone light switches and hidden doors. The pumpkin graveyard was built while I was using a painterly pack with pumpkins re-skinned as gravestones.

I have to give a lot of credit to MCEdit. Without that tool this project simply wouldn't exist. But otherwise, this construction is all me, no help.
