You are the mayor of a newly-founded modern town. Use careful planning to manage your finances, keep your residents happy, and use the limited space effectively to generate an income and slowly expand your town!
Each zone contains 4 buildings, which you can see in the build menu. Once a zone is built, its buildings show up on the map. You can demolish any zones you no longer need, but this will cost $100 and require 4 builders.
Each building has different needs. If a building's needs aren't satisfied, the building's income will decrease, and the building will turn yellow or red on the map. Make sure to build accommodation, shopping facilities, factories and utility buildings to keep your residents happy - you can see which needs haven't been satisfied by clicking on the building.
Builders carry out contruction tasks, such as building and demolition. They can be hired from the *Construction* menu for $20/month, and will build or demolish lots each month as needed. If there are not enough builders to carry out all the tasks in a month, the task will roll over to the next month. You can see any pending construction tasks on the *Construction* menu.
Make sure to keep track of your finances! You can see a history of all transactions in the *Finance* menu.
At some point, you'll probably want to expand your town. You can purchase more land from the *Construction* menu.
