Construct sprawling urban landscapes from an isometric perspective by sculpting custom terrain and laying down roads, railways, and highways. Players build specialized structures like hospitals, zoos, and colleges to support growth, or utilize the underground layer to install subways and utilities. This simulation allows for creating cities within cities through the use of arcologies.
