In this game, players take on the roles of urban planners looking to redevelop the cityscape of this iconic coastal city. They will design the layout of district maps and connect the projects they take on with cable car tracks. Players will have to take on the right urban development projects at the right time to carefully create the landscape in order to build new skycrapers, all while racing other planners to get the best projects and move their vision of the cityscape forward. The goal of the game is to build the best redevelopment plan for the city, and win via gaining fame and prestige.
