About

Stepping out from the ordinary, I find myself embracing the freedom to construct a thriving metropolis in “Town to City”: a charming city-building game that warmly welcomes me to design a stunning and lively urban haven.

Feel free to arrange homes, businesses, and recreational areas along with natural features, aiming to please your residents and attract new families. As your community expands, let your aspirations expand as well: build various towns that can stand independently or combine forces, fostering growth and prosperity throughout the region.

In the story or sandbox setting, you have the liberty to construct at your leisure, meticulously positioning each garden bed, or focus on nurturing your economy and transforming your settlement into a bustling urban center.

In the story or sandbox environment, you can choose to build at your own speed, carefully placing every flowerbed, or prioritize cultivating your economy and evolving your town into a prosperous city.

Shape Your City

A grid-free architecture allows for the freedom to design your town according to your preferences. You can meticulously arrange linear rows of homes and city sectors, or opt for a more organic expansion with houses, facilities, parks, and squares linked by meandering roads and lanes that curve and wind.

Unleash Your Creativity

Indulge your creative spirit by personalizing your town at will, using a variety of customization features. Arrange street lighting, plant flowers, and build parks for a scenic touch.

Nurture Your Community

In a thriving town, it’s essential to cater to the needs of your expanding community. Offer facilities that accommodate everyone – from laborers, craftspeople, to the upper class. Also, attend to unique requirements presented by individual residents. Welcoming each newcomer, observe as they establish themselves and create new families in the homes you have constructed for them.

Grow Your Economy

Task the workforce with various duties, explore possibilities for novel structures and embellishments to revitalize your sleepy hamlet into a thriving market hub.
