Gaming the City

Did SimCity  programme a whole load of computer geeks with the failed assumptions of 60’s planning? Me, I think the idea is good but the wrong way around. Actually getting lots of people thinking about urban design or gaming the city is a fantastic concept and each iteration of the game has added complexity and difficulty. Maybe SimCity is the best thing that happened to planning? Personal disclaimer: I was addicted to simcity2000 back in the day….
