History & Idea
Ost originally was inspired by Quayside District in Toronto. This can be seen in area II, with "torn" being the oldest building. After time Ost's theme turned into a broader "just" modern style. Quaysides key principles(accessibility, spacious public spaces & parks, reduced cars) have been kept through out the whole city.

The city was originally named East Newisle with the intention of being a smaller satellite to "original" Newisle.

Another inspiration for this project was a National Geographic article about future cities.

The project was started in mid June by Irynya and trettiofem. Farwin and TheCobalt build some buildings later on.
