I dont like all the new fancy-schmancy stuff. These cities are going to end up looking like any other modern/western city anywhere. No character left. Is anyone looking out for historically significant buildings ?

I agree with this and have done it in the past myself. Its a great learning exercise for new languages. The problems are easily defined and its apparent when you've successfully completed. Once you've done with the easier ones try implement
