Building a Stairway to Heaven in Cities Skylines 2 Walk City

Welcome back to another episode of our Cities Skylines 2 series, featuring the innovative Walk City. In this episode, we continue to build our pedestrian-only paradise, where cars are banned from the city proper. Join us as we explore the unique challenges and triumphs of creating a city that prioritizes walking and public transportation over vehicle use. Walk City is designed to be a pedestrian paradise, with every aspect of urban planning focused on making walking the primary mode of transportation.
In Cities Skylines 2, creating a successful pedestrian-only city requires careful planning and strategic use of resources. We start by addressing the issues causing residents to leave Walk City. Despite having abundant entertainment and good school access, some residents are unhappy due to unreliable internet service. We tackle this problem by constructing new internet towers on the city's mountains, ensuring that everyone has access to high-speed internet. This not only improves happiness but also attracts new residents to the city.
One of the most exciting projects in this episode is the construction of a scenic mountain road. This road winds its way up to the highest peaks, offering stunning views and unique building opportunities. Imagine living or working on top of a mountain with the best internet service in the city. We also explore the potential of building a spiral road down the mountain, lined with buildings to create a breathtaking and functional urban space.
As we expand Walk City, we face the challenge of abandoned buildings. To address this, we ensure all new areas are well connected to the rest of the city. We utilize a mix of ferries, trams, and eventually trains to bring people into the new districts. By integrating these transportation methods, we make it easier for residents to move around without the need for cars, staying true to Walk City's pedestrian-only vision.
The industrial sector of Walk City also receives attention in this episode. We focus on increasing our wood and stone production to support local businesses and reduce reliance on imports. This not only boosts the economy but also ensures that Walk City remains self-sufficient. As our industries grow, we continue to monitor and adjust to meet the needs of our residents and businesses.
One of the highlights of this episode is the creation of a massive pedestrian bridge that connects Walk City to new development areas. This bridge allows residents to abandon their cars at the city limits and walk into the heart of the city. It's a visually striking addition that underscores our commitment to a car-free urban environment. The bridge is not only functional but also a symbol of the city's dedication to pedestrian-friendly design.
As we continue to develop Walk City, we introduce new residential areas with a mix of high-density and low-density housing. These areas are carefully planned to provide all necessary amenities within walking distance, ensuring that residents have everything they need close to home. Parks, schools, and healthcare facilities are strategically placed to maximize convenience and enhance the quality of life.
The video also delves into the unique challenges of maintaining a pedestrian-only city in Cities Skylines 2. We address issues such as ensuring sufficient labor for our growing industries and providing adequate healthcare coverage. By focusing on these essential services, we create a thriving community where residents are happy and businesses can prosper.
Our commitment to renewable energy is evident in Walk City, as we primarily rely on geothermal power to meet our energy needs. This sustainable approach not only reduces our environmental impact but also supports the city's overall goal of being a model for green urban living. We explore the benefits of geothermal energy and how it integrates seamlessly into the city's infrastructure.
The episode is filled with creative solutions and innovative urban planning ideas that make Walk City a unique and exciting place to live. We continually strive to improve and adapt, ensuring that our pedestrian-only city remains a vibrant and attractive destination. Whether it's through new transportation links, better internet service, or expanding our industrial capabilities, every decision is made with the residents' well-being in mind.
Join us on this journey as we transform Walk City into a bustling, pedestrian-friendly metropolis in Cities Skylines 2. Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on the latest developments. Together, we can make Walk City a shining example of sustainable and enjoyable urban living.

14:22 reminds me of Kowloon Wall City. Cursed healthcare aka US Healthcare lol Also, knowing that the “happy” people moving out, not enough customers and high rent is a “normal” thing. I ignore it now but CS1, the icons would’ve bugged me. Can’t please everyone, right? 😂 Wait wait… what in the word is wrong with the CS math? Hahaha I wonder if the patch will approve situations where you’re randomly 2M in the red due to metal? lol
