We have selected 15 well-known urban agglomerations or metropolitan areas around the world and divided them into various categories for creating.

Features

  • Covering levels of dozens of city maps in five types, with a long game time.

  • Familiar metropolitan circles and urban agglomerations, maybe there are cities where you live.

  • Regional maps based on real city textures and satellite images; multiple types of transportation and minimalist art design.

  • The data layer displays core metrics such as traffic flow, traffic density, population, road mileage, railway mileage, etc.
