WATCH THIS before you start a CITY BUILD | Cities Skylines 2

Module 1: Site Context - MASTER READING A SITE BEFORE BUILDING
CITIES SKYLINES 2 is so far from actual City Planning that it truly proves you're more akin to being a gamer than a planner, however that can change by learning the knowledge and skills beyond the decisions you make that will make you plan, build and play your city.

Whether you want to do Urban Planning at an academic level, have an interest in extending your knowledge past gameplay or are already in the field, this video offers academic knowledge, mixed with case studies and Cities Skylines building and footage to demonstrate How to Play like a Real City Planner.

Each week, a different module from an Urban Planning degree has been read, condensed and encapsulated into 1 bite-size video for you to watch. Learn what a REAL city planner would be learning.

**It would be good to get some feedback on this from people who viewed this. What you liked and didn't, so I can improve upon it for the next episode**
