This concept map is broken down into three key categories, transportation, urban design ,and environment. Each of these concept were able to be broken down into more areas while also connecting them to each other. One of the main things that can be connected throughout the entire concept map is water, a vital resource for almost everything. In transportation there can obviously be boats used to cross the water, and into urban design and environment it is used for everything from infrastructure to conservation. The arrows indicate what can be connected through all of the concepts that have been broken down. Each of these concepts can be broken down infinitely but I believe these are the most important to the main key idea.
Cities Skylines is able to capture these interactions very well in most places, but also lacks in some concepts. One of the places that it is able to capture this is in the transportation. The games provides many types of roads and train services. It is also able to account for air and water travel even though it is at a very minimal level. The health of the citizens is also a very important factor with having to build many healthcare facilities and also havingĀ to account for noise pollution in the high density areas. One of the areas where City Skylines lacks is the kind of green space that can be implemented into the city, in the game everything has to be built off of a road which prevents something like a very large park or green area. Overall City Skylines is able to capture the idea of planning but can improve.
