New and Improved for the Economy 2.0 world! If you've just picked up Cities Skylines and are struggling to build a thriving city, I’m here to help!

In this series, I’ll help you build a thriving city, starting with the modest bones of a small town and slowly growing it into a megalopolis! Along the way, we’ll explore the game’s mechanics and I’ll share tips and tricks I’ve learned from my time with the game. I’ll also share how I design cities based upon my experience as a real-life city planner. This is an ongoing series that we’ll also use to explore new DLCs and Content Creator Packs as they are introduced to the game.

In today’s video, we’ll cover a number of topics including: how to start a city, laying out a basic grid, utilities, extractors, zoning, progression and milestones, the development tree, the city economy, rezoning, and city expansion. And by the end, we'll have a small town of nearly 5,000 in population with a positive budget.

Great choice of Map! It's amazing how much love it's getting. Overcharged Egg and Sunny Sunny are both doing series on it post-Economy 2.0. Thanks for the new beginners guide. There's always new things to learn!

Hey Phil, do you have a save you can provide from after laying out the road network but *before* you started to zone and layout industry, etc.?

This will sound terrible, but I hadn’t realized that -I only spoke with Palm’s Time. It’ll be fun to see everyone’s take on the map! Clearly very beautiful.

Hoping to get the second one out this week. Major focus will be transportation (taxi/tram/interchange) most likely
