New York Simulated

December 12th, 2006  |  Published in General  |  1 Comment

I’m a collector of everything related to architecture and urbanism in New York City, especially books and old maps. And I was an avid player of SimCity when I had more time for games. So I was especially excited to find out about The New York City Journals, a blog based on a detailed recreation of New York in SimCity. The author recreates not only the buildings, but major events, like the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Upper East Side plane crash.

    If you haven’t already, you should definitely read Russel Shorto’s “Island at the Center of the World” - it’s a great account of Dutch Manhattan and how the city came to have the make-up it does today.
