citizens say they're very happy, giving their Mayor approval ratings of
over 80% and throwing him "spontaneous" parades at the drop of a hat.
Or chould I say at the drop of a police officers cap. With 75 police
stations in town there is little or no crime. The city features many
arcologies asymetrically placed about the city and very intriguing use
of the river banks and islands. Chicago3 employs a interesting scheme
of placing industrial zones exclusively on the outskirts of the city,
and employed a large network of subways to transport workers from home
to job. It's effective, but it does lead to some traffic problems. Keywords: metro,fullrci,green,blue,art,darco,farco,larco,

you'll find a screenshot of Chicago4. The city is extremely haphazard, with
industry sited amidst parks and residences actually contained inside of the
city's airport (the "altenate side of the runway parking" box was checked under
ordinances). The most interesting aspect of the city is that it started out
as a seaport, but the terrain on the far edge of the board was raised to form
the edge of an island that runs the length of the city (it looks like Manhattan,
if your standing in the Bronx). The port has arcologies on either side that
ships would have to pass on their way to dock (the Collossi of Chicago). Oddly,
enough, the football team is known as the Seminoles. Keywords: metro,fullrci,green,darco,farco,larco,parco,flat

Percent of land covered by water: 8 Passengers per day for Subway: 30 Passengers per day for Bus: 119 Passengers per day for Rail: 22 Cash: $1200 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Speaking as a former History major and Scifi lover, I have
to like Chickcop city. It has a feel of having had a past (if very little
future), and being forced to respond to the exigencies of life in the 30th
century, in the messy, organic way that cities really utilize. You want to
make up stories to explaing this city: Proud magnificent Chickcop (kinda S&G,
hedonistic place, if you go by the signs - do you think they'll really
remember Kathy Ireland a thousand years from now?) with a sophisticated
mass transit system, high educational standards and a special reservation
where only "chicks" are allowed. Then planet wide catastophe looms,
(asteroids, technopop??), and the inhabitants are forced to flee. They
hurridly contruct over 100 launch arcos, but are unable to keep citizens
from outside the city from flooding in, hoping to make their escape.
The city is forced to suspend civil liberties and go on a massive building
program for police stations (110!) in order to control the burgeoning
population, meanwhile neglecting the once huge subway system.
Well...you get the idea. Well worth looking at, if you don't mind

Percent of land covered by water: 17 Passengers per day for Subway: 0 Passengers per day for Bus: 5312 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $19 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Charleston is notable for three things: it has a very efficient
system of pump stations (well it's the scheme that I generally use), a very
popular mayor, and it's based on the Charleston disaster scenario that is
disributed with SC2000. The mayor of the city has achived a very high level
of citizen satisfaction by encouraging the building of a limited number of
arcologies within the city. This has allowed the city to combine a high level
of community services with a low tax rate, a sure route to happiness in any
jurisdiction. Keywords: metro,fullrci,green,blue,darco,larco,highway,flat

City Name: Chuckville
Percent of land covered by water: 8 Passengers per day for Subway: 3643 Passengers per day for Bus: 7810 Passengers per day for Rail: 514 Cash: $2135 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Chuckville is another ARCO special, with a total population
of over 9 million. This overshadows, what is otherwise a very esthetically
pleasing, though sparsley populated, park city of about 50,000. The city has a
number of very interesting landscaping features, such as the LLamadome
perched on top of a pyrimid shaped hill and the statue placed on a small island.
In addition, the city features a number of signs with references to musical groups.
The other interesting feature of the city is a wildly over developed
infrastrucure. The city has an unbelievable number of water system facilities
6 fusion generators and 2 prisions. Just for the heck of it I bulldozed
the fusion plants and was able to replace the 6 of them with one fusion and two
coal plants (2900 MW vs. 15,000).
Overall this is a very attractive city, that looks like it would be a nice place
to live. I'd like to see someone build this kind of city without the Arcologies. Keywords: scenic,unique,extreme,fullrci,green,blue,art,larco,

City Name: Church City
Percent of land covered by water: 18 Passengers per day for Subway: 0 Passengers per day for Bus: 317 Passengers per day for Rail: 235 Cash: $2138 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: If you've sinned and it's been 399 years since your last
confession, Church City is the place for you. In the modern day Branson,
Missouri of religious faith, every cult, sect, creed, faith, theism and
ecclesiasticism has gathered, on the eve of the 5th century of the third
millenium, in the religious paradise of Church City. Despite the superfluity
of religious atmosphere (some say because of it) the crime rate is a
theologicallu inexplicable 59%. In order to cope with the overflow of
clerical criminals the city maintains an island prison that currently
accomodates 8000 collared crooks.
A large Canal runs through the center of the city. There are a number
of man-made islands on the outskirts of the city, which host important city
insitutions such as schools, prisons, the holy stadia (in a recent burst of
anti-clericism, the local soccer team was renamed the Ball-Kickers: of course,
they were formerly known as the Cardinals). The Mayors house is also sited
on an island, reportedly surrounded by Holy Water. Keywords: unique,xextreme,green,blue,darco,

..uh...interesting...uh.....attempt. It's basically a rectangular
city, with a band of residential zoning inside a sandwich
of industrial and commercial. Inside of that is a huge empty
space, consisting of about 2/3 of the landscape. Perhaps the
residents are environmentlists, and are trying to preserve
a fascinating prairie dog ecology in the middle of the city?

to town. And the town probably was not Cincy. There are some interesting
ideas in this city, but it hasn't been finished and the ideas don't fit
together. There are some funny index readings (power=100 and value at 338),
but they're strictly temporary. My guess is that the city was turned around
and then saved very quickly.
The city has a curiously New Yorkish flavor to it for being in Ohio. The
Giants are playing football, the baseball team is named the Mets, and the
city hosts IBM headquarters (previously located in Aramonk, NY). Keywords: brown,unfinished,farco,larco,flat,seaport,airforce,

popualtion number is a temporary. It's the 9.1 million that's real. The
city features a balanced, well developed transport system, and besides
the Arco area (one-third of the city), it's very densly zoned. Because

Percent of land covered by water: 6 Passengers per day for Subway: 0 Passengers per day for Bus: 4595 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $15662751 Judge Name: Patrick Coston and Willy Jin Description: The entire city is made up of 6x6 tile blocks. Crime is so low because there are tons
of Police stations. There is a huge water-pump and water-tower farm along one side of the city.
Water-pumps line the opposite side. This city is not short on water that's for sure!
Another side is lined with rows of small-parks.
James Says: This is the second version of my city. They have
given me 23! parades. Pollution is under %20, crime is under %2, traffic is

so well. This Clint gets high ratings from his Sims despite running a pretty
honest taxation policy. He does a really nice job of taking advantage of the
topography, to evince a multi-level plateaued look (two-tiered with a little
bit of shrubbery). His city fits well into the terrain, and he's created a
number of bodies of water surrounded by parks that even look like refreshing

City Name: Clone69
Percent of land covered by water: 90 Passengers per day for Subway: 71 Passengers per day for Bus: 474 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $42 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: There are some interesting things going on in Clone69
(from outer space?). The city is a small island, about 30x50 tiles
in size. Our mayor gets a lot done with very little (with a little help
from SCURK). The first interesting aspect of the city is that the rectangular
island is actually 2 heights above water level. The outside edge of the
is a hill side the slopes down to meet the water (beveled, so to speak).
Our mayor has then used the water tool to make all of the hillsides around
the island into waterfalls. Unless you look closley, you are likely to miss
this. Then he's placed a large number of marinas and piers around the
city, which because the are built on the waterfall tiles, actually appear to
be below the level of the island.
the city also features a joint civilian/military airfield, which has a
"top secret" installation and a silo. The city also has the ubiquitous
prison island, but with a twist. The island has three marinas, no doubt
for conjugal visits from the main island. A very different approach.

City Name: Coastal
Percent of land covered by water: 85 Passengers per day for Subway: 3939 Passengers per day for Bus: 1841 Passengers per day for Rail: 783 Cash: $12 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Wow! If an auqatic M.C. Escher designed a city, this is what it
would look like. Actually the city is not quite as umm...distorted as it
first appears. Basically it's a pretty normal hilly/plateau city, with every
hillside tile covered with water to make waterfalls. But when you first look
at it you think someone has built city on the inside of a Klein Bottle.
The city also features several monumental banks of hydroelectirc
generators (which generate over 4000 MW), and a number of tunnels, cleverly
interspersed among the waterfalls. There is also an extremely efficient
pump system (which I might just steal). In addition the city has an
extreme seperation of industrial zones from the rest of the city. Keywords: unique,extreme,fullrci,xblue,art,tunnel,xhilly

City Name: Coast Of Rica
Percent of land covered by water: 3 Passengers per day for Subway: 73 Passengers per day for Bus: 1806 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $2146 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Coast of Rica is a unique blend of every technique of city
building, you've ever been told to avoid, and unsurprisingly, it doesn't
work. If your looking for a very challenging city to base a scenario on,
this would be an excellent candidate.
The city features an extreme segregation of industry from the rest of
the city, and lacks the mass transit necessary to move sims from their
homes to work. It also utilizes an incredibly ineffcient system of over 800
water pumps to supply the city with water. The city planners built over 5000
tiles of road, in an extremly high density 3x6 pattern, but then frustrated
any high density building by placing a water pump on every other street corner.

the city for you. Keywords: unique,metro,fullrci,symetrical,farco,road,flat,

City Name: Cochranville
Percent of land covered by water: 1 Passengers per day for Subway: 858 Passengers per day for Bus: 0 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $179328 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: If the U.S. Department of Transportaion ever decides that they
need a demonstration Simcity, Cochranville would be a leading candidate. The
number of highways in this city actually begins to approach the number in a
real American city. And the mass transit (almost none) is about as well
developed. Despite (or as some mass-transit advocates would claim. because)
of the massive highway building the city is plagued by a serious traffic
congestion problem.
There is also an interesting building technique employed in the city,
although not in a thourough fashion. Several places in the city you will
notice very large zones, that exceed 6 in both directions. Logically this
means some of the zones are further than 3 tiles away from roads. What the
mayor has done is place municipal services (pumps and water treatment plants)
on the inside of the large zones, so that, in effect he has avoided building
roads to municipal service buildings that don't need them. This would, if
used in a consistant manner allow you to build a city with fewer
tiles devoted to roads. Of course, in this city with the massive number
of tiles to highways, that can hardly have been a consideration. Keywords: unique,extreme,metro,fullrci,grey,darco,farco,larco,

City Name: Operations Code
Percent of land covered by water: 4 Passengers per day for Subway: 23172 Passengers per day for Bus: 0 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $720 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Operation Code should be renamed "Straphangers Delight". It
has a amazingly comprehensive subway system. The city is laid out, almost
entirely in a 6x6 grid pattern and below nearly every street is a subway
tunnel. Each 6x6 block has two stations. All in all, this system allows
the cities subways to attract 23,000 riders a day, quite a feat, considering
there are only 106,000 sims (not counting the Arco dwellers, who tend not
to ride the tube). Unfortunately the city also proves the wisdom that
subways are not a very good method of alleviating traffic congestion, as
the cities traffic rating is a relatively high 23.
Other interesting features of the city are a large undeveloped vacant
lot (nice if you feel like finishing a city), a progressing case of the
church virus (nice if your sims aren't observant enough), and a whole bunch
of signs (typically reading "POLICE STATION" (I can't see what good these are). Keywords: extreme,unfinished,darco,farco,larco,parco,xsubway,

City Name: City of Jonathan
Percent of land covered by water: 7 Passengers per day for Subway: 622 Passengers per day for Bus: 5545 Passengers per day for Rail: 351 Cash: $298 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: If your looking for a real growth opportunity, City of
Jonathan is right up your alley. It has 56 arcos, at an average
occupancy of around 10%. So snap this little city up, and watch
your population grow, from .5m to around 3 million, without
clicking a mouse.
One of the most interesting facets of this city is its use of low density
zoning. Our mayor has left lots of room for single family housing, small
business and start-up industry. Because of this the citizens of C. of J..
lead very placid, satisfying lives that lead them to leap into spontaneous
celebration whenever the name of their mayor is mentioned. The only bad
thing abut the city is bad is that it is "the Home of the Cowboys". Keywords: fullrci,darco,farco,larco,parco,flat,airforce,

City Name: Cole City
Percent of land covered by water: 10 Passengers per day for Subway: 1044 Passengers per day for Bus: 1944 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $40 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: There is a lot to like about Cole City. It is an eclectic
blend of asymetrical zoning, cleverly used waterscaping, all the bells and
whistles as far as city services go, and the city's crowning glory, a 550 ft.
high pyramid, topped by an arcology. Cole city has it all.
Points of interest: The city is built on an absolutley flat plain,
whose monotony is broken by a large number of irregular lakes. Each of the
lakes recieves individual zoning attention, that results in a very harmoniuos
blending of the city with its aquatic environs. In addition many of the
lakes have marina's built on them, to satisfy the inhabitants desires for
watersports. The city has a high security prison island, whose only
connection with the mainland, is through a special subway, staffed by the
Prison Authority itself. The city has a large sports complex which featues
4 different single sport stadiums.
And, of course there is the famous pyramid. AT 550 feet, plus the 278
foot Arcology, (recently completed), it towers over its surroundings, and can
reportedly be seen by sims as far away as Pioneer. Although the "Cole City
Collosus" is viewed with pride by many Simizens, it does have some detractors

City Name: Columbus
Percent of land covered by water: 4 Passengers per day for Subway: 0 Passengers per day for Bus: 134 Passengers per day for Rail: 253 Cash: $34 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: A model of the real-life city Columbus, Georgia, this simcity
achieves the kinds of idiosyncrasy that we very rarely see. In particular
there are a great many diagonal roads, tracks, and parks that lend
the city a great deal of charm (though, it's not apparent why they have
them in the real Columbus from looking at the city).
The other interesting thing about the city, is that while it doesn't
seem like a very good design for a sim city (in particular, there is
a lot of distance between the factories and the housing, and little mass
transit), Columbus actually performs quite well. It delivers a solid tax
abd good Mayoral ratings. I do have one question though: I realize I'm a
northener and perhaps perceive the South as being less advanced than it
really is: But do they really have a Fusion Reactor in Columbus? Keywords: scenic,unique,green,road,flat,signs,fusion,

Reactor powering the Island that has nothing but an airport on it, to the
6 city halls, this simcity screams Banana Republic.
That's not to say that there aren't some interesting things going on
here. I'm sure that you've always been bothered by the necessity of stringing
unsightly power lines out to your secluded island mayoral mansion. Well
Commotion has that problem licked. Just install your very own hydroelectic
dam (And if you want to know why the mayor would build himself a secluded,

It has a zero crime rate, and if you poll one of the police stations you
notice an interesting pattern, like crimes reported 0, arrests 14. Why
arrests when there are no crimes? Does the Computor know who is about
to commit a crime before they do it? And there's no Prison! Issac
Azimov would have loved this.

entire edge of the scape, and then has a huge chasm that occupies the center
of the city. In the middle of the chasm is a hill, on which rests the
"Dannet Rain Forest". The crater lake is dotted with several smaller islands.

over to Coolton and take a gander. The city has a huge Hydro-pyramid in the
center of the city, a trapped freighter, and an interesting twist on airports.
We've got a huge hill raised in the center of the otherwise flat city that
has 273 Hydro-electirc generators on it. There is a land locked harbor, that
has a freighter roaming around in the middle of it, never able to leave the
city limits.
The city also has an interesting airport setup. First it has a lot of
them. About 1200 tiles are zoned for aiports. But some of the airports are
laid out in 2x2 blocks, which largely prevents the builiding of runways.
This forces sims to build all of their runways (almost) on two of the
airports. All of the animated runway lights blinking together is impressive. Keywords: unique,metro,darco,farco,larco,parco,highway,

City Name: Cool Town
Percent of land covered by water: 1 Passengers per day for Subway: 830 Passengers per day for Bus: 57 Passengers per day for Rail: 6 Cash: $249 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Open up Cool Town and the first thing you'll notice is that
all the sims have moved out. The second thing you'll see is the extra-
ordinary number of military installations. Pull up the budget window
and take a look at the tax rate and you see the reason for both. With
a whopping 12% levy, the sims are moving out in disgust and the Mayor
probably needs all those troops to protect him.
And of course, there's the astromical crime rate, which coupled with
80% unemplyment give the Mayor a 37% approval rating. This guy would be
envious of Herbert Hoover! Then there's those top secret labratories.
What are they for? Maybe the sims didn't leave. Maybe they were used up
in evil medical experiments (probably trying to figure out how to get
more taxes out of people). Cool Town should probably be renamed, Bug
Out City, cuz that's what you would do if you lived there. Keywords: unique,xextreme,emptyrci,darco,farco,larco,parco,

City Name: coolville
Percent of land covered by water: 8 Passengers per day for Subway: 0 Passengers per day for Bus: 77 Passengers per day for Rail: 0 Cash: $248 Judge Name: Bill Cooper Description: Although judging by the number of windmill power generators,
Coolville is a breezy place, the real reason for the name of the city is
the reception given to local industrialists. The Mayor of this city hates
factories and it's like pulling teeth to get him to zone any industrial
at all. Less than 10% of the total zoned land is industrial (less than 4%
of total surface available). Unfortunatley the attempt is a failure.
Though the city is barely stable, that's because of a 0% tax rate. Raise
taxes to even 5%, and the sims flee to warmer climes.
The city also has some interesting tunnels schemes, including a nice
tunnel/brige combination on one edge of the city. And if you like to
