I can't believe Colossal Order is putting out another DLC! I'm not complaining, though - I'm super hyped for this one, and it'll be a day-one purchase for me! Cities: Skylines Plazas & Promenades will add pedestrianized roads, new zone specializations, and a crap-ton of new assets. Let's check out the video and see what's what!

My large farming area has been dumping traffic into downtown like there's no tomorrow! It's time to reroute all these trucks and try to solve supply issues by improving traffic flow through the industrial area. Come check out how we're going to solve this in our grid-free city!

Our communities have reached the point where a small "Agricultural and Mechanical" college could really help supply the local industries and industrial farms with educated workers. While I was planning this out, I also discovered that we had NO high schools and not enough elementary schools in the area! (oops) So today, we're expanding the educa...

The Panhaven A&M College needs some off-campus student housing - and we need our population to grow. Seems like a good opportunity to kill two Chirps with one stone! We're building our first pedestrian area and filling it with wall-to-wall development to make a nice, walkable student community with high-speed bus access to campus.

I would very much like to drastically increase my industrial production, but if I'm going to do that, I'll need a way to import and export crazy amounts of goods. It's time to build a cargo terminal hub - a pair of freight train stations and some warehouses, connected via the ugliest knot of roadwork you've seen in a while.

I'm rethinking the usefulness of large warehouse facilities. They're dumping LOTS of trucks onto my road networks that aren't actually doing anything useful. They also take up space that could be dedicated to actual productive land uses... so it's time to tear down some warehouses and add some unique factories!
