- SPIRALOPOLIS is a boomimg Sim City 2000 metropolis with a population of
- 9,342,726 sims. They are highly educated with an EQ of 132 and there is zero
- unemployment. The sims have few complaints about traffic, crime and pollution
- except for the area occupied by 140 Launch Arcos where fighting crime is an
- exersize in futility. The mayors mansion, statue and city hall occupy the prime
- real estate in the center of the city. A single road in the shape of a spiral
- starts at this point and winds out to the perimeter. The city was designed and
- constructed without the use of any hex codes or cheat utilities. Building funds
- were obtained by dropping funding of all services except transportation to 15%
- and then letting the city run unattended over several evenings. Consequenty,
- the current year is 24,461. Commercial zones are concentrated in the center,
- then residential, and industrial is concentrated on the perimeter. Services
- that are not location critical such as schools, colleges and hospitals were
- placed as far away from the center of the city as possible to preserve high
- land value areas for maximum development. Crime is kept to a minimum by evenly
- spacing police stations every 20 tiles. Fire stations, parks, zoos and marinas
- were added at random locations as the sims demanded them. If anyone has managed
- to squeeze more sims into a city using DOS Version 1.0, please let me know. I
- would like to study the building techniques of others.
