I've spent many happy hourse playing Sim City and Cities Skylines and so I understand both the appeal of the games and how they could inspire people to want to make city planning their career (indeed, it's one of my many 'alternate careers' I could easily have fallen into). This article is the story of such people. Of course Sim City embodied a very naive understanding of civic planning. Nonetheless, " the SimCity games are a good introduction to the field. Those people will go on to understand what the game gets right and wrong."And SimCity establishes a very fundamental literacy in systems, Sanchez said. He hopes games like his will extend that literacy to some of the finer points of city-building."
