Clueless Urban Planners: Desert Edition

As 3 urban planners from Vancouver, a coastal, temperate urban paradise, we have absolutely no conception of the challenges of building a city in the desert, real or virtual. What better way to test our skills and knowledge than dropping ourselves in the dunes of Cities Skylines and developing a community from scratch.Join us on our journey for some hot asphalt roads and even hotter urban planning takes.

  Park And Riding Our Way To IMPROVED TRAFFIC FLOW! | Ep. 29

  Jul 22, 202619 minS1

  Traffic flow is further improved with the opening of Stephen's offline park and ride center coinciding with an extended tram line. At Onyx's insistence, Stephen also replaces the second bridge to Nazca Heights with a tunnel, which turns out to be even more janky. With industrial demand now surging due to the sudden infusion of unskilled workers last episode, we build a second "temporary" industrial district deep into the county desert near the site of a potential future town.

  Urban Planner Causes A SUPERNOVA In Our City! | Ep. 28

  Jul 14, 202617 minS1

  Onyx builds an ill-advised road (both in theory and in practice), which causes an explosive supernova to occur near the university. Stephen unveils a new stacked interchange based on the infamous "Stack" interchange in Phoenix, Arizona. Industrial businesses continue to shutter due to a lack of sufficient labour force for operation. A "crappy neighbourhood" is hastily built in order to serve as a new housing district for the "uneducated" workers. Video: https://youtu.be/DGVCbGNBaWk

  EMINENT DOMAIN Saves The Day | Ep. 27

  May 27, 202619 minS1

  <p>The relief east-west road is completed and immediately makes a positive impact on the city's traffic issues. Stephen gets his wish for another major north-south arterial road, albeit at the cost of recklessly bulldozing dozens of houses in the way.</p><p>Aaron continues outfitting his namesake neighbourhood with rec facilities and a football field. He also moves the original town hall park out of the way to allow the city's main road to punch through all the way to the relief arterial.</p><p>Video: https://youtu.be/VpaPUcZj3Es</p>

  Who Doesn't Love A GOLF COURSE? | Ep. 26

  May 12, 202619 minS1

  <p>Aaron and Onyx are in awe as Stephen unveils the result of offline blood, sweat, and tears: a new 9-hole country club golf course and driving range in the notionally gated community of Oasis Park.</p><p>We build a new relief arterial road to take traffic pressure off the city's main east-west connector route. To aid this further, we also relocate the main postal sorting plant to the industrial district, because who wants noisy mail trucks roaring down your quiet residential street at 2am in the morning?</p><p>Video: https://youtu.be/o3LCOcScy70</p>

  Our Education System Is A House Of Cards | Ep. 25

  Apr 14, 202614 minS1

  <p>In a "build and yap" session, the city deals with a dangerously below average school graduation rate, along with a severe shortage of students entering the university, with most of the population either already graduated from college or having skipped it entirely to enter the workforce.</p><p>We attempt to downplay the situation by comparing the county to other locations in the US, but ultimately find that we are far worse off than anywhere else in the country.</p><p>Video: https://youtu.be/pXc06-9SPd0</p>
