- America VS Europe VS Asia - Building a road layout for the city center in Cities: Skylines [Sunset Harbor DLC]
In this Cities:Skylines [Sunset Harbor DLC] video you can see me building a road layout in three different ways. The first one is in an American Style Build like you would find it in the United States.
The second one is inspired by Europe, for example, Germany or France.
The third and last one is a build from Asia. You can find builds like that in japan or China.
For this video I used barely any mods...

America: Excel
Europe: Paint
Asia: *Paint with stabilizer*
What's with asia's grid it's trash
@@ImmDylan It's like that mostly in Japan, where there are many Earthquakes that mess up with grid
@@ImmDylan It’s most likely in Japan, where the roads are not built, but instead using the gaps between two buildings
Actually it's more,
US used a Ruler
Europe did it freehand because they didn't have the tools
Asian used modern technology to to rebuild the destroyed cities.
@a I recommend visiting Vigevano (pv) italy, the city where he stayed several times invited by Duke Ludovico il Moro
America: Squares are easy to do, why change?
Europe: Cultural is key, why work on standards?
Asia: As long as it fits, who cares?
Asia works for highly dense city.
Look at China Japan Korea for example.
Plus, the people also not egoistic like the west. They use public transportation mostly. Or motorcycle..
That's why.. the road is not that needed. They need lot of streets. To walk or using bicycle or motorcycle.
and btw, it's kinda racist to think that Asia is one unity. No they're not.
We need to split Asia into 4 or maybe 5 parts. East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia aka Arabia or Middle East, India, and the Steppe region of Asia. These regions obviously have their own road layout. It's all about geographic topography thingy and also the crowds.
in this video, it's the layout of East & Southeast Asia. But for East Asia, it's their suburban region that like this maybe.
@@DBT1007 INDIA IS ASIA TOOOO
@@DBT1007 sounds like youre being pretty racist here if we follow your idea of racism. Asia might not be a single unity, but neither is America, and DEFINETLY not Europe. Your comment sounds like you think only asia can be divided into parts and that you see europe and america as a single unity.
@@kivikallo4313 Well yeah, USA people(at least some of them) if we talk about asia they just know Korea, Japan, China and maybe Singapore and Indonesia..... and if we talk about Europe they mostly talk about what they learn from school....
And me as an asian when I was a kid I think Europe is a country and not a continent lol........
Btw sorry if I say something offensive
@@DBT1007 bro you're funny. I don't know about China and Japan, but in Korea, we don't ride motorcycles unless it's a delivery man. Korean like big cars like Americans. What I do know about Japan is that they prefer small cars, but not motorcycles. Korea and China's newer neighborhoods are car friendly. We have like 10 lane wide boulevards so cars can go through the city quickly.
Putting a elevated highway in a waterfront location and ruining the view is very American.
Don’t worry they do it in Asia and we do it in Europe as well x) It’s probably the most convenient location... but I agree with you it’s ruining the view !
The highway in Seattle has been demolished and the views are returning to American cities! Congratulations!
Well, the road 132 in Montreal, legit just go on ground, not elevated.
In Sydney we have circular quay (the main ferry interchange inbetween the opera house and the harbour bridge) you have a train station right behind the ferry terminals with a highway on top of the station
@@JayJayGamerOfficial Brisbane has a highway along the Brisbane river on one side of the CBD.
As a Italian, I will say that some European cities are built following the landscape
Fun fact: our city center's main road was rebuilt like 3/4 times, because it's built on a river a little river lmao
@IlRobloxiano ao bella :D
Followed the land which effectively was the River, Coast, Marshlands or Fortifications
La tipica circonvalla non manca mai
Yes am italian too and i agree
( Traduzione in italiano: si sono italiano e sono d'accordo )
@@teorigo8522 esatto hahah
Pls' build an American Village VS European Village VS Asian Village, (You are very good!!!)
Yes! I love the villages!
My favorite projects in CC are a really old European Town with a castle and some villages around.
Yeah Great Idea!!
You don’t say... I’ve been playing for 3 years and still can’t make an appealing road layout 😂
Or an American tiny town because we have no villages
@@TDBFB oh ok
Looks like you were trying to let the European city have a star fort history
The european one kinda looks like Frankfurt, Germany
@@IamFD yeah well...that’s true
I think the thing missing with America roads is how they've changed over time. That grid-like roadway network - that went out of fashion in the mid 1900s in favor of curvier roadways. That's why newer cities are routinely designed on curvy grids, if they are gridded at all.
Grids are just for rapid expansion. No need to plan much, but it's already very scalable. And can be changed to fused grid for better road hierarchy.
But city planners said curve streets are actually safer. Drivers are more likely to drive above speed limit at a long straight road.
Personality, I think curve roads look better. But if you are not familiar with that area, you might find it harder to navigate
Also the modern suburb has a very unique road layout and are found near the edges of cities
USA during manhattan grid: *TETRIS THE CITY!*
USA after pandemic: europe + asia. there
UH
As someone living in the Philippines, the Asian layout is spot on. Seriously the road layout in my city looks like it was freely hand drawn.
literally as long as it fits and can handle more ppl in one street grabe ba HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Europe: natural and curves
Asia: Artificial and lots of blocks
USA: how about both?
If you flip Asia and USA you'd be right
USA is all straight lines haha. asia did you some mixxing
@@heliopr uhh naww that’s how the Europeans planned the cities if you pay attention it’s always the oldest parts of American cities that look like a grid the outskirts of it have a lot of curves and more diversity
Ok thanks for telling me
@@wack1275 nahh, check NY for example, just one big grid. And you guys literally use 'blocks' to tell the way there. There may be some curved roads but it's mostly blocks.
European cities have roads like that because a lot of the roads are based off of old dirt trails and roads for horses and carriages before automobiles.
I challenge you to find a randoom town in google maps and doing EXACTLY the same in cities skylines
A good challenge.
@@tsjoencinema thanks
Aight, I will do Forrest.
@@chevrolet-poitiers9507 ?
@@dorukdanielener3402 It is a small random town the Southern Victoria
I'd love to see it all filled up in the next comparison video
😋😋😋
In European cities (I’m from the uk) the large expanse of green is extremely accurate. It originated in the 1800s when a lot of Victorian households who were wealthy wanted park views. Nowadays it’s called a green belt . They have one in London to prevent the city sprawling out too much. Especially in the Victorian times when rich families who had business in the city centre wanted to be far away from the smog. Amazing video
Me watching these kinds of videos: "Ahh, I see, indeed, I understand everything now"
Me trying to replicate it ingame: "what am i doing"
Towns (not cities) of Mexico: American layout with a touch of european
Mexico City: Hahaha lines and diagonals go brrrr

It is Frankfurt, Germany with its "Anlagenring"
@@realtwogreenie gay
@@realtwogreenie no u
@@realtwogreenie you randomly called this guy a nazi
I can feel the pain imperatur has to go through when observing road layouts on Maps.
Korean here. I didn’t expect it but you that elevated highway above wide roads that divides blocks is so spot on.
"The Dark side is a pathway to abilities some consider to be unnatural" these are god level
here in Jakarta, one of the main CBd’s grew around a big boulevard with the inner city highway at the middle with the centerpiece being a cloverleaf junction built in the 60’s
Our city center has moved several times, but the road layout is very Asian. The road exists first, then the branches and houses.
The population density in 'organized' Asia is 10 times more than America's, definitely need to consider the road carrying capacity and the high-density residential area with the cost of 'beautiful layout'
@Imperatur The Asian road is true but the overhead bridges doesn't have in the suburbs and only in Japan the temple or palace grounds split by water while the rest of Asia is not usually separated by water but nevermind you did amazing!
The european layout looks like Frankfurt am main
Yeah its based of frankfurt
@@imperatur i knew it hehe
I like how it doesn't truly put one layout over another. It lists the advantages and disadvantages of each.
6:32 bro it looks like Marmande a city in Aquitaine(France) the river is the Garonne and the city has the same shape ,you just missed the train station.
I Challenge you to make an Asian City Center without mods
I live in australia and I would say we take on both asian and european city center road layouts
Traffic would be a nightmare in the Asian city
From my limited experience in Asian cities, I would say that's accurate.
How about university in this three regions🤣(PS:I think Asian part u could add a ring road around the downtown.That’s more realistic.)
What European cities you took the most inspiration from? Cause I feel like Europe is such a diverse continent we can't really say it's just a one grid. Look at Madrid, London, Berlin or Warsaw and they're layouts are very different.
Don't get me wrong you still did a very good job and every city have some things in common with the one you made but I just wanted to point it out and hear what inspired you.
I love your videos and this format of America vs Europe vs Asia is really amusing and inspiring. 😍👍
Mainly central europe like frankfurt am main, cologne etc
I so wanted this to be a video with commentary rather than just a demonstration of grid-building ... But it’s still kind of cool
1:37 Imperator that was so rest of the owl of you I was literally interested most in the exits lol
Cool video but:
I dont think thats how European cities work.
1st is that most arent created from single long road, but either a castle, or a circular road which contains/contained town hall and 1st buildings (Old Town) and then the roads are build outwards.
Also the roads in the video turn left-right too much, they dont do this as much in real life. (they DO do it, but not as much)
There are some exception, for example i live in a city with was created from 2 circular plaza's/squares/whatever-its-in-english connected by single long road. and then there are other roads coming outwards. from that, making the whole city look a bit rectagular, but thats rare.
Also its not true that there are a lot of no-car areas. you can get everywhere by car, but that's true the cities are pedestrian-friendly
PS i liked the video, so no hate to anyone :)
America: Organized, Easy to Get Around
Europe: Unmitigated Chaos
Asia: AAAAAH!
It looks like for the european model that Frankfurt, Germany was the model. It looks exactly like that, especially the park around it, which is called "Anlagenring"
Super Video, @imperatur.
Aber eine Frage habe ich: Ist das europäische Roadlayout von Frankfurt inspiriert?
Lg
Jap, ziemlich arg sogar😂
Also European cities often have a grid of one way roads, each going one way, then the opposite and so on, to compensate for the narrow roads.
As an Portuguese: LIsbon city is one of another cities that have straight lines, Lisbon city, not Lisbon the District. Porto is like European yes. And you know when Lisbon city has changed to straight roads?
Anti-seismic. In 1st November 1755 a earthquake occurred destroying the entire city. The city was with wubbly bubble roads and buildings with different amount of floors. So they did all the buildings with the same amount of floors and straight roads. :D That's why Lisbon as Straight roads.
I'm Japanese, but I think this is well done.
As an aside, some cities in Japan build government offices on a square island near the river.
To be honest, Asia's roads in this look like they were made by a 10 year old, who's trying too hard to recreate imperaturs cities.
Check out the road layout of Cebu City from the Philippines. I'd say Imperatur is being too kind here lmao
@@brent3522 Cebu City was rebuilt in a Spanish grid (Law of the Indies)
Could you add these empty road layouts to the workshop so we can have a go at filling them in?
Appalachia and the Rocky Mountains 'exist'
I've never seen an interchange like that in America and here in LA we literally invented the stacked interchange in 1949... While it may exist somewhere it's not in any major metropolitan area I've been in and uncommon, we use the cloverleaf. If you take the time to learn the history of road layouts, while all contemporary ones come from America, they are time/trend specific rather than region specific. an older city in the UK will be grid layout (just like NY) while cities in the 60-70 will have a lot of cul-de-sacs and so on and so forth. grid patterns are the most driving efficient by miles while making only T's and meandering dead ends makes getting around on foot/car extremely difficult. it can make something 1 block away in a grid over a mile away by car. lots of interesting history on streets starting with Ancient Rome. I suspect the author has only lived in one of these places, thus, his narrow view
3:15: You CANNOT tell me that's not Detroit 😭
America and Asia: we want you to know where you are and where you're going.
Europe: you wanna die?
European cities often also have a special layout around the city centers, you often have a palace in the middle with radial and round streets around it. Kinda hard to explain but imagine a sun with its rays and you get what I mean. Some Louis Monarch from France did it first and many European cities copied it. (check Paris or Karlsruhe e.g.)
America: Drive on right side
Europe: Drive on left side
Asia : Road is Road drive anywhere
Africa : no roads no pollution
America: Organized grids and productivity.
Europe: Complete disorder, chaos
Asia: Grid-like chaos.
How long does it take for you to lay these out? They're really nice. I wish my perfectionism would allow me to just build as care free as it seems here.
I needed just a video like this! Thanks for the help! :)
What map did you use
Omg watching you build Asia so satisfying! It's like watching new unmodded Dream City.
Most European cities evolved around a town center, usually defined by a church or cathedral. Usually surrounded by old trades (baker's, Cloths, etc, a marketsquare or 2, and pubs surrounding them). Most center are circular / irregularly shaped since at the end of the middle ages a lot of towns had stone walls as a means of defense.
That's the thing I miss in Cities, the organic way a city evolves over time...
Asian city looks like a small city in Japan which was founded in 16th century. The wooden island in the river should be an ancient castle.
Next Video: Best Public Transport Network with S-Bahn, Metro, Tram and Buses and huge Hubs to transfer
Yes;)
In europe it’s quite common that the central city/town is a grid and the rest is curvy and interesting. At least in Sweden and finland that is the more common way a city or town is layed out.
However having a non-grid centre is common in other parts of europe and especially in the south in really old cities or towns the centre can look like a mess ;)
Really loves your videos, super helpfull and inspirational, could you perhaps do a video on your planning process for a new city, how much detail planning do you do etc. that would really be nice, i couldnt see that you allready did such a video, thanks in advance
I'd love to see this concept for the Southern Hemisphere, with Oceania, South America, and Africa! Maybe the Middle East could even be its own region as a bonus or something
American: huge stadium
European: Church+ Europe Football Stadium
Asia: Temple
Europe needs more roundabouts. we really like roundabouts
Yeah but small roundabouts are hard to build in cs
@@imperatur But you can build them easier with the mod roundabout builder
It's pretty fun to know that the Filipino Street map actually looks closer to Europe because most cities here were planned by the Spanish. This was called Reduccion because the people were forced to live in the new villages and cities planned so that the Spanish and the Catholic Church would control most of the lives of the people there.
Traffic flow rating (my opinion)
America: 67
Asia: 156
Europe: 789
America: Barely any roundabouts. Grid pattern, hangs off a giant highway.
Asia: Some roundabouts, wonky grid pattern and hangs off a giant freeway.
Europe: Lotssa roundabouts. Way better for the traffic flow. No grid patterns (unless suburban) and hangs off 3 main roundabouts (Center roundabout with slip lanes)
Hi imperatur,
big fan of yours! I might have the ultimate challenge for you. A comparison of ALL public transport options (in a big city) answering once and for all which options are most effective where and when and how to get the most out of them by maybe even combining them?!? My point being, I want to see those BIG NUMBERS like a bus hub with over 3.000 passengers served last week or those metro stations with over 1.000 passengers served last weeks and I am not talking about the one lucky station, but like the whole public transport system. I got big cities but with low total numbers in the overview, even though the whole city is one big network...
What do you think? Could this be a series of videos trying to get the highest numbers for all systems and WHY?
imperatur : America VS Europe VS Asia
Africa : Yo we me at fam?
I love this series. Excelent episode!
I‘m glad to hear that:)
[ASIA] Forgot to add those toll booths in, at the exit points! 🛣️🚧
Certified Asian here… Filipino specifically. 🇵🇭😃
congratulations, you got the idea of this 3 regions of earth, but you must studie the concept of 1. highway, 2. arterials, 3. collectors and 4. locals, in order to do it right.
Yesss! Loved the series from the first video and was hoping to see more America vs Europe vs Asia
Of course, Stay tuned bro:)
Something along the public transportation options maybe?
Europe with Trams, America with elevated subways and Asia with the monorail :)
It's very unrealistic for Europe to have such a broken grid on a flat terrain. You don't need so many curved roads unless there is an obstacles to go around it. Europe cities are built based on landscape, and are built around old castles and expanded afterwards
As a guy who lives in Europe, the European road layout is very accurate
I feel like in all of your European builds you have a lot of German inspiration
(Yes there are builds like this outside of Germany, but I think they are most similar to it)
i spend more time watching your videos, than actually playing the game.
Nice:D
If you want to see something interesting, look up the "Quadrate" of the german city of Mannheim. Its the historical inner city, but its build like a chessboard. They wanted it to look like that for military reasons back then I believe
In Europe there are often Road-Tunnels from the Highways towards the Center, at least in most of the Medium or Mayor Citys I remember, but great video anyways
Australian rural town vs American rural town vs European rural town please :)
Doing a complicated highway interchange:
1) Lay down a couple highways
2) 1:38 Draw the rest of the interchange
hehehe...i live in manila and our roads don’t really look like that. A drunk Russian man drawing lines and trying to connect them to each other(lol)= Most of Metro Manila
what ur doing is the “organized” city centers of East Asia
What? I checked it on google map and it looked like very typical asian layout to me. Historical long roads became main roads, then build grids between them
Metro Manila consists of 16 cities (and one municipality), so all of them got their own road layout, and the whole metropolitan region just connected the edges of those roads together. Looking at the city of Manila, it’s a mix of all of them, European road layout are on the old districts. American road layout are on its suburbs. And the Asian road layout for the newer districts.
*soyuz nerushyymy i live in Imus and manila doesnt look like that ATT ALLL*
Manila or Old Manila (Spanish Intramuros) Follows an Spanish grid because of the Laws of the Indies. This makes the grid feel more western rather than Eastern.
You could make a video with south american and african style too. There are interesting (and some crazy) layouts.
If you have problems with the layout for a european city, try out "Medieval Fantasy City Generator". Great little tool to get a bit of inspiration!
Idea: American skyline vs european skyline vs asian skyline. Props if u can do it in vanilla but mods are fine
I live in India which is actually in Asia but our cities aren't made of huge blocks .-. the few planned cities we have are designed in block but not huge uneven blocks .-.
Hiii imperatur. I love graphics on cities skyline . Thank you make for video
Thanks:)
Next time the same, but with mods. Asian cities with 6 lane roads is a bit small, CSUR has you covered. And American roads really need those yellow lines. And the ring roads around european city centers often boast heavily overengineered Intersections with an orchestra of traffic lights to get a ton of cars, busses and trams through without collisions.
he makes this look so incredibly easy
What Map Did You Use In The Video?
6:23 ah yes, no European city is complete without a Roundabout.
Where can I find the map? Or is it custom made ?
Very cool video! Maybe you could make a video about tram hub?
Compare Asian layouts too? This is very typical east Asian layout ie China or Korea but southeast, west, south and north Asian countries have varying layouts too due to Asia encompassing a huge geographical size. You could dive deeper for every region! I just gave you a lot of videos lol
pls make different-styled transport hubs
Would be interesting to see the traffic simulation for these cities... and also American style public transport vs European style vs Asian style
European + American + Asian= Manila (its very chaotic there, when you're in the old town the road layout is very European, then its surrounding area feels very american with straight grid like layout then outside that is spaghetti roads
Informative and inspiring. Cool comparisons and footnotes. Thx for the vid.
Living in an Asian city, I feel yours lacks the chaotic feel of the smaller lanes and alleys. It's like taking the European city and trying to lay the US grid or sometimes a wheel and spoke pattern on top.
I should compare park designs :)
I'm italian and the European city look exactly like mine, just instead of the 4 lines external road we have a big medieval wall, but no difference, ( I'm from Ferrara, italy)
Maial
I really like your videos
lol asia is pretty accurate bcoz in the ph, they kept building elevated highways under populated areas
The Asian one to me looks a lot like china ! Maybe south Korea as well but mostly china .
