Have you wanted to play Cities: Skylines without running out of money? Are you frustrated because your cities get choked with traffic?

In this tutorial series, you'll learn sound financial management and good urban design strategies so your cities will never run out of money or get smothered in traffic! We'll work our way from a fresh map up to 80,000 residents.

In Part 1, we start a city in the vanilla game (without mods) and build from 0 residents to 1,300 using the "Two Rivers" map. Along the way, we'll explain how to connect to the highway with our first road and why we put industrial, commercial, and residential zones where we put them. We'll also place basic power and water services, as well as our first landfill, elementary school, and police station.
