Designer City

The year is 2050 and the world's population is in crisis. A remote undeveloped island has recently been discovered and you are solely responsible for building a new town there and developing it into a large and thriving city.

DESIGN AND BUILD A CITY
To build a successful city you will need to attract residents to the island by building houses and skyscrapers for them to live in. They will need jobs so you will also construct commercial and industrial buildings where they can work. Add in multiple city services, leisure and community buildings, parks and decorations to keep your new residents happy and content in their new city.

Happy citizens work harder and create more income for you to spend building and improving your city. Create large transportation networks to keep your citizens moving both day and night. Build large seaports and huge airports to increase industry and travel.

MANAGE YOUR CITY
Suitable for all ages and all experience levels, Designer City is unique amongst all city building games due to the two ways you can play it. You can play it as a regular city builder and just design a fabulous city or use the inbuilt advanced analytics and stats to optimise your city - down to an individual building level.

The more advanced city builders can apply town zoning principles, manage pollution levels, efficiently deploy city services and optimise city resources to increase city happiness and maximise city revenue. Keep it as simple as you like or be a tycoon and micromanage building your city and keeping your sims happy; the choice is yours.

REDESIGN AND EVOLVE YOUR CITY
Dynamic land generation ensures no two cities will ever look the same and you can manipulate the land as you progress. Want a river flowing through your city? No problem, just create one. Want to create a commercial powerhouse? No problem, zone a downtown area and build massive skyscrapers. Want to create a carbon-neutral city? No problem, use green power stations and carbon-offset with buses, trains, parks, lakes and forests.

With non-scripted game play you have the creative freedom to build your city your way. The only limitation is your imagination.

Terrific Game
Cole Juon

This is the best city building game out there. There are NO build times, separating this game from other competition. This game is completely free-to-play. There are no pop-up ads and the game mechanics and economy are very well balanced. This is the best city building game on the market.


The best city building simulator today
AndrewLukeH

The Other city simulator really is designed about getting money out of you. This game is fun, and you don’t need to keep spending money like in SimCity Buildit. It’s nice to still be able to play a game, that’s creative, challenging, yet fun at the same time.


Attn: Developers Great game, but...
Grimglock

This game is a lot of fun, especially to those who grew up on the original SimCity franchise. In a future update, it would be nice if the area of services (police,fire,medical) would increase as you upgrade the facility. It would also be nice if the whole map could rotate. Great work!


A lot of fun; Way more options than the other City Builders!
Fanofscrabble

I like this city builder game a lot. It's not hard to achieve gold or money. If you don't like the town you have started you have two options of starting over. The expansion of your city is priced pretty close to the money you earn from your commercial and industrial buildings. You don't have to use any iTunes money. I love the rain and the turning of day and night. I would love to see the rain turn into snow in a few months if at all possible.otherwise love it! I still enjoy playing this city builder game. It does updates. It is very possible to reach all the levels. Monorail trains, Bus lines, airplanes, and Subway stations! High rises, beach front properties, or Cities of the future!


Great game

I’ve only been playing a couple days, but this is a very cool game. I do play another city-building type game so I’m moving along pretty fast & am almost to level 20 already. I would’ve given this game 5 stars except for a couple things. First is that I just expanded my city for the first time & I don’t care for how new land is added. A little teeny strip all around the city!? Yikes. I’d MUCH rather have small patches at a time so I don’t have to move so much stuff! Perhaps there’s a way to group & move sections that I just haven’t discovered yet. And it sure costs a lot for inventory space! I spent gold & only got one space? That’s certainly different - maybe I’m missing something? It’s a huge pain constantly moving all my trees around! Maybe there are other ways to do things & I just don’t know how yet. Hopefully I can make friends other than thru’ Facebook. In all my other games you can make friends w/o depending upon FB, tho’ you can of course use it if you want. I canceled my FB account years ago & don’t really want to go there again, but I’d like to have some DC friends, so we’ll see.


Cool game
REDII330

This is a fun game. Much like the old sims. Fun and can spend a lot of time playing.


Pretty good game but gets “stale”
Anthonyuk12-16

I’m not one of those people who build 1000 of the same building with 500 gold mines and 200 diamond mines so my city looks somewhat realistic. At the same time, i have run out of things to build before i have the same buildings next to one another in 4 different places. This game needs more building OF ALL zones. It has a decent amount now but it definitely needs more. MAYBE a 4 lane road instead of just the 2 lane road as well. Obviously it doesn’t really matter, but it is called “designer city” so i’d like to design it with a few more basic options. Even a regular rail road would be kinda neat. Just something different than what is already there Good game, just needs a little more in it.


Best game
Fenway 55

Best game for building a city, hands down! Love each and every update that is released that includes new buildings and decorations.


Love It!!
Kimberly Hartley

I'm neglecting my other games. I get on here and can't get off. If you like to design and want a constant challenge it's for you. I'm hooked!!
