Regions

BUILD A PLACE WORTH COMING HOME TO

A quiet street becomes a neighborhood. A new connection opens up a town. A growing community gives someone a reason to stay.

Regions is a deeply simulated city builder about the places you create and the people who make them home. Shape the landscape, grow towns and cities, connect them with roads and public transport, and guide an economy built around everyday life. Build your region from the ground up, then get close enough to see what your decisions mean for the people living there.

START WITH THE LAND

Follow the curve of a river, build into the hills, or leave a forest untouched. Shape terrain and waterways, plant trees, and find the spot where your first neighborhood belongs.

Draw straight, curved, and freeform roads. Carry bridges across valleys, connect highways with ramps, and turn empty parcels into homes, workplaces, and places to gather. From the sweep of an avenue to its sidewalks and parking, make a place with its own character.

MAKE EVERY CONNECTION COUNT

Give people better ways to reach the places that matter. Bring neighborhoods together with bus routes, connect communities by rail, and plan the stops, stations, and transfers that turn individual lines into a public transport network.

Think beyond the route on the map. Where do people walk? Where do they change services? Does a connection make the morning commute easier? Coordinate roads, transit, and development as travel patterns change around you.

FOLLOW LIFE AT STREET LEVEL

Everyday journeys give your region its rhythm. Residents have homes, families, jobs, and daily plans. Follow someone from their front door to work and back, watch a household arrive, or see where the traffic at your new intersection is going.

Look inside the community you are building. Inspect people, vehicles, homes, and businesses to understand the lives and journeys behind the numbers. Zoom out to plan the next district, then return to street level and watch an ordinary day unfold.

GROW AN ECONOMY. KEEP A COMMUNITY THRIVING.

Homes need incomes. Businesses need workers and customers. Growing neighborhoods need infrastructure they can afford.

Guide an economy of households, employers, wages, bills, and taxes. Balance public finances, support new development, and weigh the cost of expanding roads and services against the opportunities they create. Your transport decisions, land use, and local economy shape each other.

THINK BEYOND THE CITY LIMITS

Build the relationships between places: a small town beside the river, a busy neighborhood near a station, a growing center of employment. Plan power, water, and the connections that help them grow together.

Start with a piece of land. Make it somewhere people belong.
