Chapter 204: Will's Town Planning Concept

After consulting with all the Apostles, it was decided that we would build a town near the farm in the undeveloped lands to attract tourists.

The rest is deciding what kind of town to make it.

“I’ve been thinking about what kind of town I want to make in my own way, so would you mind listening?”

“Master’s concept? I’m looking forward to it.”

“I feel a little anxious about whether it will deviate from common sense, though.”

Mmm, why does Letty always have to tease me like that?

“First is the location of the town. I’m thinking of building the town on the banks of the river near the farm.”

“What will you do about the houses where everyone on the farm is living now?”

“Ah, I plan to put them in storage and relocate them.”

“To do such a thing… Ah, I suppose it is possible for you, William-san.”

“Yeah. By the way, Theo can do it too.”

“By the way, Master, we can produce water with Daily Life Magic, so why build a town by the river?”

“That’s to collect the dirty water, purify it, and return it to the river.”

“I see, so you are going to develop a sewer system?”

As expected of Oliver. He has researched my original world well.

“Yeah, I want to develop a sewer system in the town I build. I think it’s important to make it a hygienic town and prevent infectious diseases.”

“It seems there were sewers even in the Roman era, after all.”

“Ah, you even know about that, Oliver. That’s right. It feels like civilization regressed in the Middle Ages, but sewers were already developed in ancient times.”

Specifically, I plan to collect the wastewater from each house and the rainwater flowing through the road gutters, create an underground waterway, and connect it to a water purification plant.

At the water purification plant, the sewage will be purified using gravel and such, and then discharged into the river.

“Also, I’m thinking of making the roads in the residential areas wide to ensure ample sunlight.”

Good sun exposure is important to the people of the Fahlen Kingdom, which is at a high latitude. The days are short during the winter, after all. (Note: The author wrote Fahlen Kingdom here instead of Albion Kingdom).

Besides, sunlight is also important for preventing infectious diseases like tuberculosis.

That’s why it seems it was also emphasized in the Building Standards Act of my original world.

The rest is what kind of buildings to place and where.

“I think I’ll position the carriage terminal as the gateway to the town.”

“I see, the gateway to the town. That’s an interesting idea.”

I think the carriage terminal corresponds to a train station in my original world.

“Yeah. The first impression of tourists is important, so I plan to build the terminal solidly with a roof. Also, I think the scenery visible from the terminal is important.”

“It is certainly true that the first scene you see upon arriving in a town is important. Let’s make a plan considering what kind of cityscape will be visible from the carriage terminal.”

“It’s just as Flora-san says.”

“Yeah. So I’m thinking of making a wide main street right in front of the carriage terminal, and placing cafes and shops on both sides of it.”

“Then it would be better to make the cafes and shops stylish buildings, Will.”

“That’s right, Letty. The workshop was well-received for its unusual design, after all. Giving them a slightly unusual appearance might be a good idea.”

Since the workshop develops new things, it would be good if we could give it an exciting exterior.

“That’s true. On the other hand, I think a calm atmosphere where people can relax is also important for a cafe.”

“I see, just as Oliver says, being able to relax is important too. I wonder if wooden furniture would be good for the cafe.”

“How about attaching large glass windows to the cafe? It looks beautiful, and sunlight will come in even if it’s not outdoors.”

“Ah, large glass windows are important, aren’t they.”

The people of the Albion Kingdom love the sunlight.

Cafes usually have tables and chairs outside the shop as well, and even though it’s cold in winter, many customers sit outdoors when it’s sunny.

That part seems the same as the European countries north of the Alps in my original world.

I’ve heard that from a friend who used to work in Europe.

“If we expand the inside of the cafe with Spatial Magic, will the customers be surprised and make it a hot topic?”

“Yes, it seems it would also have the effect of raising expectations for the town building in the undeveloped lands making full use of William-sama’s Production Skill.”

I see, so it’s about showing them that the undeveloped lands will become this kind of place.

It’s like a model room, or rather, a model town.

“It will definitely become a hot topic. But I think making another room in the back like you did with the carriage would be overdoing it.”

Mmm, Letty gave me a preemptive warning.

“Summer in the undeveloped lands is quite hot, isn’t it, Master? How about installing an air conditioner in the cafe too?”

“That’s right. Let’s install a cooling system in the cafe.”

“I would like to make the cafe’s tableware out of plastic. I think it will also serve as an advertisement for plastic, which is light, durable, and won’t break if dropped.”

“I see, it’s just as Oliver says.”

Everyone gave various proposals.

It’s fun to think about town planning together like this.
