Description

Take the next step with Plazas and Promenades.
Say Goodbye to noise and pollution and Hello to pedestrian streets, car-free areas, and modern plazas. It’s time to level up your Cities with this environment-friendly expansion!

Pedestrian Streets

Let your citizens walk freely on pedestrian-only streets! Place them in your city like any other road and create new green city centers free of most vehicles and noise pollution.

Pedestrian areas and new Policies

Activate three area-specific policies for your city including Slow Driving: all roads in the pedestrian area, except highways, get a speed limit of 20 km/h. Sugar Ban: increases the average lifespan of citizens in the pedestrian area but decreases their happiness. Street Music: increases happiness and noise pollution in pedestrian commercial areas.

District Specialization

We added 3 new district specializations: offices, high-density residential areas, and high-density commercial areas. Setting a specialization on a district affects all area squares in that district that will spawn buildings with a different visual appearance and a gameplay effect. Each specialization features 24 new modern wall-to-wall buildings!

City service buildings

Service buildings are important, but how about awesome-looking service buildings? Connect them to pedestrian areas by matching their visual style and providing services that contribute to good happiness values (one of the main metrics of a successful pedestrian area).zone).

7 years into the game and the devs finally considered adding pedestrian walkways and buildings into the game. Seriously, this DLC is so good, but there are still problems with it. First, service points: there should be no reason I can't just put buildings on pedestrian roads without needing service points. You sure people can't just park their cars, and carry the cargo in themselves? Otherwise, what cargo are they

A must have. Should be cheaper, but a must have for a proper city, unless you're building American, which means it's not a proper city, but a collection of villages

Pretty game changing DLC because you can entirely eliminate traffic because the entire districts are forced to use public transportation or foot travel. The only problem with the DLC is that you need TM PE to enable realistic parking in the options otherwise you're going to get massive traffic jams from the sims creating pocket cars. They'll walk up to the nearest regular non-pedestrian road and start creating them
