'Design and Manage' is a Cities: Skylines let's play series that focuses on what are for me two core aspects of the game: Design (eye candy, aesthetically pleasing layouts, road systems and districts) and Management (earning a positive income while providing all necessary services to maintain a functional city and a healthy traffic flow).

Main DLCs installed: After Dark, Snowfall, Natural Disasters, Mass Transit, Green Cities, Parklife, Industries, Campus, Sunset Harbor.

This is the first thing I have ever waited for on YouTube.

Welcome back T4get, the mentor from whom I learnt the most on cities skylines

[carrocomlasanha]

The biggest problem of your videos is that they have an end... I could watch you build an 1 million habitants city in a single row.

[JoeRichardsWells]

Video hasn’t started and already my favourite video on YouTube this year.

[JunioreMi]

Almost an year since Season 2, 1st ep... april 6 2020... 4 long days to new season, welcome back Target :)

I really appreciate the "don't rush" part. You show how to be mindful and intentional rather than just rushing expansion. Nicely done!

[saladfish]

I am excited seeing this in my recommended section again.

I don't ever comment on YouTube videos, but this time I really have to say that the quality of this content is superb!

Leaving an extra block inbetween houses is a really good idea to putting paths to give your citizens more walking room. Not every block needs it, but every 2 blocks or more would be great!
Awesome video T4rget. I always look forward to your videos!

[zewty]

ive only recently stumbled upon cities skylines and man i cant say how entertaining this video was to me. I could watch and listen you building cities for hours.

[ShayonBurman]

Thanks for coming back target. It's so cool that you are so committed to teaching and entertaining us on this platform.

[OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I keep getting told to check you out. Looking forward to following along with a new series :)

[anaportela]

I'm glad to live in the same time as T4rget.

I regained my interest for Cities Skylines last week. I quitted a while ago because I found myself a total noob. Now I keep getting better at designing and managing my cities. Apparently you just started this series after a sabbatical, but am I glad you came back and the algorithm brought me to your channel. I just watched a couple of your videos, and I give you my compliments for being such a great and professional content creator, who prefers quality over quantity. You're the first Cities Skylines builder I subscribed to. Very informative, inspirational and relaxing videos!

[shotaki]

Oh how I missed this intro. Welcome back! Looking forward to this!!

[GeorgeRobinsonBTDesigner]

Estava esperando ancioso por novos videos, benvindo de volta T4rget !

[linorymel]

I'm so glad you're back! Found your channel a few months back and binged through all the videos you have. Thank you for making amazing content, godspeed!

[MaartenvanHeek]

Nice to see you back!

Small tip that you might already know: you can also make straight roads with the curved road tool, if the second point you click is in line with the first point.

[PauxloE]

1:30 – no wasted space between blocks – An alternative approach is to always leave one tile gap (and two tiles where the roads will become wider). The gap can later (after we unlock that milestone) be filled with a foot path, improving walkability.

I was so sad when Season 2 came to a halt! Welcome back sir!
