The author achieved a 50,000 population milestone in Cities Skylines 2, surprising even themselves, and is preparing for the next 50,000.

The video extract addresses the issue of a city outgrowing its infrastructure, particularly focusing on the traffic problems in Neo South Auckland, originating from an outdated motorway interchange.
