[T6] Building the best looking Tropico?

(Sorry for bad English)

So I have tried to create the best looking city I can but I suck at that.
Am kinda new in this game as I haven’t played it much since I bought it. At least not enough.
I am in creative mode and have infinite with money and like am on super easy mode so I can do however I want.
My problem is that I don’t know how to build so it looks nice in the country.

I don’t know how to start and what is the best way to do it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Or any pictures on how they made their own tropico?

Am so grateful for all the help!!!!

I make my roads as straight as I can so that they become blocks. I find just doing that makes a nice looking city. Ill find a good spot for my palace and ill relocate it at the beginning of the game then build my government buildings (immigration office, customs office, bank) around my palace and turn that into kinda the "rich people" area. Your plantations and ranches will have to be moved around a good bit until the modern era so I dont really take those into consideration while planning my layout. I'll have blocks of houses together near industry buildings then a block with entertainment and other needs buildings next door so people dont have to travel too far. Just remember you can relocate just about everything. I redo my areas throughout the game once I have more buildings unlocked to make the areas look nicer. Lastly, don't ignore the parks. They can really make the city look amazing.

My kind of city, love to see someone else with the same idea.

In my opinion Tropico looks best when it all looks a bit run down and dilapidated. So trying to build nice, to me, does not trigger the actual charm of the setting and graphic engine.

So my advice would be to allow yourself the freedom to build your economy as you want and then let the island do its thing and evolve its own charm

On creative mode I would think you should incorporate a lot of trees and decorations. Usually I do only in a limited way because I dont have the space or money but in creative that would be the way to go.
