It is highly frowned upon by the Planning and Engineering Institutes in New Zealand yet is Standard Operating Practice in the Northern Hemisphere whether it be used as a educational tool in High Schools and Universities or as a communication tool by Public Authorities.
Yet despite it being frowned up in New Zealand this fellow Spatial Planner and Urban Geographer has registered himself for the Cities Skylines Cities in a Snap!
What is Cities in a Snap? CIAS is where Cities Skylines players from all round the world come together to compete in who can build the best functional city in two hours – no more – no less.
