City planning simulators are games in which the gamer creates his own city from scratch. He must not only arrange buildings, but also monitor the mood of the residents of his town: create shops and schools for them, supply apartments with water and light, make important decisions and rebuild entire streets destroyed due to natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes.
In some games, during the construction of residential areas, people may come to the player with questions about the improvement of the city, which is why the gamer will have to spend a lot of money if he wants to prevent people from leaving the city.
City building simulators usually do not have a specific goal and last as long as the player needs.
