Is Smart City Plan worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- City-building fans who want to plan transport networks as well as roads and zones
- Simulation players who enjoy managing public services and city policies rather than focusing on combat
- Players interested in developing cities with multiple residential and industry zoning types
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted campaign may find the focus on open-ended city growth less suited to that pace.
- Those looking for short, self-contained rounds may find the ongoing city management structure less suitable.
- Players who want a military strategy game centered on squads and combat may prefer Xenonauts instead.
Our take on Smart City Plan
City builders often focus on roads, zoning, and expansion; this one also foregrounds laws and public policy, from pollution rules to gun control. Its real-time management can be paused or accelerated, while sandbox mode shifts building placement from growth-driven planning to direct positioning.
What is Smart City Plan?
Smart City Plan is a city-building game centered on planning and managing a growing city.
Start with roads and zones for homes, shops, and businesses, then expand as the city develops. Build public transport using trains, trams, buses, subways, and a hypertube, and add infrastructure such as stations, bridges, and space ports. Set taxes, policies, and laws covering areas including energy, water, pollution, and speed limits. Manage issues such as noise, crime, and waste, while reviewing city finances and problems. Play in real time, pause or accelerate the simulation, and unlock sandbox mode to place buildings freely. Zoning options include commercial, industrial, agricultural, office, and three residential types.
