MEGALOP.CTY is an example of a Megalopolis. I created it by using the
Terrain editor to clear an entire screen to trees. Then, I put in a
very tiny lake for the seaports. I only used rails, and made the
commercial area as central as possible.
An mistake I made in past attempts to achieve a megalopolis was to
cram the residential properties in one on top of the next. Megalop
succeeds because every residential area is adjacent to a park or trees.
When the population reached 450,000, I let many years run by to build
up a big budget surplus. Then, I dropped the taxes to 0 which brought
the population past the 500,000 mark.
I had to "cheat" in that disasters were disabled, and there is only
one fire department and an excess of police departments. (It is fun
to unleash a single fire in Megalop and watch the entire thing burn
down!)
