SimCity Computer Design (100 pts)
Students use SimCity 4 Deluxe™ software to develop a logical design of a city for the future. The city must be a sustaining community with a population of 50,000 people or greater and progressed forward at least 150 years. There are no restrictions on the environment, location or celestial body where the city may exist.

Students must use the pre-designed medium region provided to create their city in. These regions may not be altered in any way. The starter city is available on the national website labeled as Starter Region. All participants are held to a high integrity standard and will be asked to sign an Honors Statement prior to the competition. See 2012 Rules for a list of all requirements.

SimCity tutorials will be held in October. If you have any questions regarding the requirements or how to use SimCity™ 4 Deluxe please direct your questions through the Future City Competition - Capital District Facebook Site. The submittal date for the SimCity Computer City Design is 11/18/2011.
