A flat area for the international airport.Most likely you will want to have a park there which is better to located next to residential, commercial and office areas. Some maps have shipwrecks, lighthouses, destroyed castles, and some nature landmarks such as rocks, caves, and so on. Thus hardly you will want this next to your tourist area, old town or residential area.

Also, in most cases, you will want to have near your industrial zones and cargo railroad. Pretty often it requires some specific place to be built and remain connected to the line so you need to plan this well. On the vast majority of maps, you have a waterfront with the ability to build a naval terminal. Also, you need to think about rivers crossing, good places for central stations, and how you’re going to accept incoming tourists to keep control over tourist traffic. You need to divide lines right after the railroad entrance and this may need space. Keep in mind that both cargo and passenger trains will arrive through the same line. You should find where it enters your city in order to plan your future railway junctions. This means you should keep this in mind when doing Cities Skylines planning your future expansion. You shouldn’t plan a residential area next to a huge oil field. Speaking of industries, in the beginning, you should figure out where are the places that have rich deposits of raw materials for your industries.Also, the location of the highway is important for defining where it’s better to place your industries. Don’t forget about the principle of the road hierarchy which means that having a plan for the highway you should plan avenues, streets, and so on. Its location on the map defines how your city will be connected to the main external arteria. Review where your raw material deposits are This highway connection defines the location of your industries The presence of the railroad line on the nearest tile may tell you how you will plan your tourism, industries, and transportation So, what are the factors you should consider in the beginning? The map has some anchors which will be used by you for this or that object, zone, or district. You should define your goals and the sequence of reaching them. Even when you have only one square unlocked you should start thinking about what tile will be unlocked next and why. Your Cities Skylines layout planning should start when the game begins. So, that’s a Cities Skylines city layout guide that should give you some thoughts on building a nice-looking functional city that is made of not only grids. But sometimes at the end of the day, I’m thinking that I should have been more creative and less lazy. Also, I have a feeling that I’m using space in the smartest way. For me, it’s because Cities Skylines grid layout is easy and fast to build. However, it’s not easy to stop doing grids right away. If you’re in the game for a while then you are probably done with the cities made of grids. From the 1.0.Cities Skylines Strategy of City Planning Note also that this WILL bulldoze buildings that were in the way of the size expansion, and that you'll have to manually move plopped buildings placed along the side of the road you're upgrading or you'll get a "space already occupied" error.Įdit: in this ever changing world in which we're living, CO has added official support for one to two way road conversions and reversing the direction of a one way road. You can also edit the direction of one way roads with this tool, by right-clicking on the one you want to invert. Due to the fact that you can only decide the direction of a one way road by dragging it, you still have to delete and rebuild a road you want to change to one way. Unfortunately, this only works on size, at least for now. In the case of upgrading the size of the road, you can use the "!" button next to your road shape tools (straight, curved, etc).
