Un altro testo, questo di Paolo Pedercini, su SimCity.
SimCity has been used and is being used as educational tool. Now, more than ever, is shaping the way a lot of people understand or misunderstand city planning. [...] SimCity games promise endless possibilities. “Build the city of your dreams”. But in reality you always end up with something that looks like Phoenix, Arizona.
The only type of city you can create is the modernist, car centered, grid based, North American city (Although in some recent versions they tried to allow for non grid based plans).
And it’s ideal modernist city. It’s car centered but there no need for parking. Parking is just not included in the models.
