CityGenesis

City and economy

CityGenesis is a PC city-building simulation about growing a small city-state through construction, budgets, laws and a living economy. You plan roads and districts, then manage the conditions that shape where people live and work. Citizens choose occupations, goods to buy and places to live; companies choose where to open and adjust their prices.

Those choices drive changes across the city. Prices fluctuate, businesses open where they can make a profit and leave when they can't. Building sizes and land values respond to where people gather, while areas that lose favor decline. Booms and busts come from these economic changes, rather than from a separate traffic simulation or fixed decorative layout.
