The City Centre Gets a Friend | Waikato Part 6.2 | #citiesskylines2

Introducing South Waikato Junction, and River View (Riverside) & More Insight into Ben’s planning methodologies!

City Centres with their density, bustling cosmopolitan life and the chaotic environment need friends. And most often it is the inner suburbs that provide that friendship. Introducing South Waikato Junction and Riverside; with South Waikato to be an inner suburb residential area (and likely home to the elite) while River View (Riverside) has the supporting industry, and worker estates that keep the City Centre supported and running. Oh and we finally select the Mayoral Mansion as well for the new incoming Mayor!

6.2 is also peppered with examples of my Planning methodology when it comes to Cities Skylines 2 (and ironically to the real world as well). Urban Design through the game “themes” beyond the base zones etc are also heavily implied through 6.2. Meaning in the video we go under the hood quite a bit to again see how my Planning and Design mind ticks!
