I have started on the first shop building and I gather it will be enough with two stories + loft. It is an expandable design where you can basically divide it into sections lengthwise and height wise. Not saying that all need to keep to this design, but I think for a city center - the buildings should have similar height for the bulk of them.

There can be monument-like buildings which stand out, like a capitol building, cathedrals or towers.
The facade of the n00b hotel could be re-made or made taller (add floors). The interior is too well made for a remake of the entire building.

BTW: We need clay for bricks

I plan on building a tower like the Space Needle. It will need a relatively large plot, as the base will need to curve out decently to keep the proportions correct. At the top will be an observation deck. Hopefully I'll be able to cram an elevator system into the middle of it, but SMP elevators are a big problem so I'll have to do some research on that first.

Unless you're planning on it, I'll work on the plaza first though. I've got some ideas for some redstone-powered fountains that I'd like to try out.

Where would you like to build it? Between the villas and the volcano? somewhere between the harbour and the capitol building?
The plaza is up for grabs.. I didn't see past the paving of stone slabs. Also think of something for street lights... the torches is kinda... Medieval.

Ideally I'd like for the Arena to be at least partially visible from the top, but for layout purposes I think between the harbour and capital would probably be better. Maybe a large building out there will help encourage more development as well.

I dumped about 10 stacks of glowstone at the construction area for street lights. I think a simple lamp-post system would work, with two netherbrick fences on the bottom topped by a single glowstone. Once the area gets urbanized a bit more, the lamp posts could hang horizontally off of the buildings instead of being freestanding.

Would anybody mind if I terraformed the island at (125,160) near my farm into a 'mushroom island?' I don't want to disturb the aesthetic of the town if people feel it's out of place, but it would make a handy spot to put the farm's mooshrooms (since that island is pretty useless for anything else).
