Features:
- Pedestrian Streets: let your citizens walk freely on pedestrian-only streets! Place them in your city like any other road and create new green city centers free of most vehicles and pollution.
- Pedestrian Areas and New Policies: activate three area-specific policies for your city, including Slow Driving: all roads in the pedestrian area, except highways, get a speed limit of 20 km/hour. Sugar Ban: increases the average lifespan of citizens in the pedestrian area but decreases their happiness. Street Music: increases happiness and noise pollution in pedestrian commercial areas.
- District Specialization: we added 3 new district specializations: offices, high-density residential areas, and high-density commercial areas. Setting a specialization on a district affects all area squares in that district that will spawn buildings with a different visual appearance and a gameplay effect. Each specialization features 24 new modern wall-to-wall buildings!
- City Service Buildings: service buildings are important, but how about awesome-looking service buildings? Connect them to pedestrian areas by matching their visual style and provide services that contribute to good happiness values.

Just an FYI for anyone considering this for their Steam Deck....maybe dont.
Last time I tried, it gets to the menu but then gets completely stuck trying to go in-game. This is despite having a "gold" rating on ProtonDB.

You may be "doing it wrong": this is a native Linux game. No Proton required!

100% aware of that. Still doesn't work, seems to be something to do with the custom launcher that installs with the game.

Pedestrian-only roads? Hmm, I could try replicating the Melbourne CBD now…CBD? Isn't that some kind of cannabis thing?

Central Business District, I presume. That's what some places refer to as their downtowns.
Within my town's CBD is one of these pedestrian areas, a DORA (designated outdoor recreation area). It's part time. Pedestrian on the weekends (for tourism), but open to traffic during the week (for normal business).

Central Business District, I presume. That's what some places refer to as their downtowns.Yeah, I first heard the acronym during the four years I spent in Melbourne from 2017-2021*. Then I moved back the US and started hearing people talking about "CBD oil" and I was like "Huh? You need special oil for your downtown?"
*The Melbourne CBD is a very defined (mostly) square bit at the heart of the city with a number of pedestrian-only or low-traffic roads. Also the home of the dreaded Tram Hook Turn where you have to start a right turn by first moving left.

Yeah, at least in my town, I kinda think they used CBD as a bit of a rebranding thing. Downtown had a negative connotation as I guess in the 70's and 80's it was blighted. I remember when I moved here, some people were surprised I lived downtown and I regularly ran into older people that would refuse to go downtown.
