How to Plan a PERFECT Layout in Cities Skylines 1 (Easy & Different Way)

We'll create a well-planned neighborhood layout in Cities Skylines 1, adopting a more realistic approach and considering urban planning principles. By respecting the topography, we'll aim for a less grid and more organic layout in the vanilla game.
The area is located within Sandy Beach, inspired by the competition hosted by the CitiesByDiana channel. Be sure to check out her channel for unique Cities Skylines content and more! ‪@CitiesByDiana‬
Some of the details I'm trying to explain really test your patience in the vanilla game. However, they can easily be managed thanks to mods. My goal was to explain not just how it's done, but why and based on what logic. I hope what I've shared is helpful. If you liked my approach to neighborhood design, you can help my video reach more people by giving it a thumbs up and subscribe.
Enjoy!

The “why” has always been sorely lacking in content creator videos - this allows the viewer/ player to learn something and incorporate it into their builds. Thank you for this

[@empathcityplanner]

Thanks for the feedback! You are welcome🙏

[@DJarr216]

If you keep this up you can be the new "City Planner Plays" Over the years CPP has dropped some of the informative side of his gameplay for more story driven content. This video brings me back to why i originally fell in love with CPPs videos. But you're doing so much more. You really put the emphasis on "planner". From the early sketches on how to build the city to then build it up step by step, it could have been an episode of "How it's made" with the music and the voice over. This is Cities skylines edutainment at it's finest.

[@empathcityplanner]

I really enjoy CPP's videos too. Being compared to him is flattering, but being the new CPP is a bit much because he's still around =D Just kidding, I get what you mean. Your feedback means a lot to me, thank you so much!

[@justincredible1990]

I'm just a guy behind a laptop playing this game and I have no civil engineering or city planning expertise to lean on when playing CS. As a result, the thought of trying to replicate how you play intimidates me. However I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the level of detail and thought you put into planning before executing. Outstanding work! Unlike any other CS video I've ever seen. You've gained a new subscriber here.

[@empathcityplanner]

You're welcome =))

[@chaitu6969]

You are the only one that creates city with great logic...I want you to upload more man

[@dementorspirit]

finally someone explaining this logically!😀

[@purecanium]

This is one of the best cities skylines video i've ever watch! the explanation always makes sense and the end result actually looks really good. Now i think i need to watch more of you vids...

[@acefury6294]

Bravo! I have to admit: this video kinda shows how lazy I am. I've been playing CS for years. I own it on pc and Xbox. I've played hundreds of hours. I've been watching KZbin videos as much as I could. As well as searching for anything to improve my traffic management without mods. This video is truly amazing and shows true beauty. Thank you so much. Great job. Great job.

[@empathcityplanner]

Glad I could help! Happy building!😊

[@maartenvandenberg4534]

Great video which explains the strategy upfront, all the inter relations between areas and the detailing, even considering the door entrance of some buildings. Loved this one!

[@loops4162]

Amazing video! Really enjoyed listening to your explanations. This motivated me to become much more considerate when planning lol.

[@displayheadsmedia]

Best vannila neighborhood build i had ever seen and the video is quality. Keep going! 💪

[@DemocracySpreader]

Loving this. Great content for C:S players. Also appreciate the console consideration. The in-depth explanations are class. Thanks! I have trouble varying from grid layouts. This helps!

[@Nervousnet]

now this is real city planner playing cities skylines :D cant wait for more vids

[@CitiesByDiana]

Ohhh I like how you analyzed my design decisions in the intro and added more to it, really cool video :D

[@empathcityplanner]

thank you :))

[@nikolaypetrov9789]

it was great work. replacing palm road with huge flower road was diabolical since cars now have to drive through that plants

[@IAMFISHFOOD]

This is why i quit cities skylines too many sweats

[@pizzza1557]

Just discovered your channel and I was immediately amazed by your work, especially considering this is vanilla. Subscribed! Keep it up!

[@empathcityplanner]

Awesome, thank you :))

[@abfruits]

Man, this is crazy good! The design concepts, the detailing, the patience with the game... Keep making videos!

[@nickprice8411]

I love this! So well planned! Also, holy gazebo! I love seeing everybody's play styles. For me, it's the California Palm. Every lot has to have one 😂

[@Christian-k2b4r]

Please do these with a starter city in Cities Skylines 2. Keep the style of how you explain and information and I am sure you will grow as your content is some of the best in this genre of games I have seen.

[@fabiovitalino11]

Incrível a maneira objetiva que você trabalhou no vídeo. Suas dicas foram claras e as decisões por mudanças nos estilos e posições de cada construção (comerciais e residencias) deram uma dinâmica cuja qual eu nunca parei pra analisar. Realmente surpreendente e espero que seu canal cresça a cada dia como uma forma de retribuir a você toda expertise que colocou em jogo. Um brinde ao bom gosto, parabéns e obrigado por se importar em jogar mostrar-nos que sem moda é possível alcançar grandes realizações dentro do cities 👏👏👏 Sou seu novo inscrito desde então. Kotai (KTI) comes... Stay smart.

[@roccovonzocco9991]

Your city looks great! I've been looking for inspiration for my own city for quite a while - and now I've found it! Keep up the good work 👏

[@vikingnusantara]

This is better than city planner play

[@Nervousnet]

dude this video is great i was lucky to find it! logics behind your decisions is immaculate!

[@empathcityplanner]

Glad you liked it! Thank you=))

[@BL-gs2fq]

Very cool neighborhood and I really liked how you explained your building process 😊

[@empathcityplanner]

Thank you, glad to hear 😊

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

Wow now this was very in depth and beautifully made! Love it!

[@randallcromer66]

Totally awesome city build...You're a amazing artist with Cities Skylines and I really enjoy watching you work. Thank you for sharing your talent and skill with us.

[@empathcityplanner]

Thanks a lot for the support and the great feedback!

[@zsocash]

It. Was. Amazing! Wow. Just... wow...

[@markjames7501]

Amazing work, the detail you go into explaining why you designed the neighbourhood and the planning. The execution was bang on. I play on console and make it look so easy. Would you consider doing a let’s play series where you walk through all the details on a map like you done on this neighbourhood but on a full scale? I’m subscribing either way

[@empathcityplanner]

Since I need to plan and think through the topics I want to discuss in detail, making a let's play series isn't really for me. Although I'm having some trouble with consistency right now, I plan to continue my current series in the same style. Thank you for subscribing=))

[@markjames7501]

That’s a shame bud, would make your content go way further. You’ll have so much new subscribers

[@horu1688]

The explainations are very clear, thank you for your superb video

[@empathcityplanner]

You are welcome!

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

Ai voice has become quite decent, I dont even mind it even if it's still flat

[@KLLDZR-se1qk]

I didn’t even notice it, i talk the same flat line😂

[@udishomer5852]

I love the way you plan and your attention to detail, its much more interesting than just focusing on traffic or aesthetics. But why don't you use mods and custom assets? it will be much easier and faster to achieve your targets and will look like a real city rather than the vanilla cartoonish style.

[@mathieugariepy2948]

Very interesting. Beautiful neigborhood.

[@mrscepto3729]

Amazing, you have inspired me 😁

[@krzychaczu]

So good content! 👍🏅 I'd love to see similar for C:S 2

[@blind26sc]

Amazing video

[@anonymousmf4862]

A lovely build. Do you have a How to on landscaping tools? I'm always left with big holes/hills and normally worst off (PS5 with controller) 👍👍👍

[@empathcityplanner]

If I can manage it right now, I'll continue my current series. I haven't played on PS5, but it's likely that large holes or hills are forming because the reference elevation point wasn't set before starting.

[@alperozgur87]

👏👏👏

[@mehmetbahceci4863]

👏

[@dearxmeofficial]

777th sub, lucky number

[@XxMaximus10xX]

You just make me want to delete all the DLCs and play full Vanilla

[@IconicHaydn]

please im begging u to create more videos idgaf about ur pc graphics

[@empathcityplanner]

Although I'm struggling with consistency, I'm eager to share more videos with you.

[@emilsa488]

Planning looks great, but without mods the result looks bad :(

[@VlerkeDamne]

What he did was the best possible result for neighbourhood without mods.

[@blast1XH]

1st

[@1080GBA]

Ok

[@kamma44]

Oh gosh. The game does not have that much depth dude!
