city map

Getting right to business I don't really expect this to happen anytime soon and I'm pretty sure it's already been suggested, but can the devs please re-do the city map with a more accurate description of our cities? I just feel it's ridiculous that a sprawling city looks the exact same way as a small settlement. Perhaps an architecture research tree that would allow us to beautify our towns? I just wanted to get that idea out there if it wasn't already. 

I mean in the zoomed up city map where we upgrade buildings and such, the world map pics are fine.

Ok, so I dug around until I found it....  below are some links and previews of art they were working on.  Since this is over a year old, it is fair to say these wont be out soon (or even at all).  I am not sure if these were placed on hold when there was some talk about 3D stuff....  I am not holding my breath on anything, but the different walls still seem to be lingering in the game's system....  so perhaps...  I am including some old UI images just because they bring back some fond memories (^_^)

Now that we have taken a stroll through memory lane and looked into the future - do the DEV's care to show us any new previews for what might be out there on the horizon?  *One can always dream*
