The Cities of The Midwest | As American As It Gets!

This is the pilot episode of a new series where I explore the various aspects of different types of cities around the world. In this episode, we look at Midwestern American cities with a focus on the cities of Cincinnati, Kansas City, and St. Louis. We examine what makes these cities unique through examining their Geography, Layout, Planning, Architecture, and Transit. I also provide some tips and assets you can use if you want to build a Midwestern City in Cities:Skylines.

This is a great change up series. Love it.

Think you will do lakeside cities, east coast, southern, west coast and Texas/sun belt cities?

Love it very much! Just remember the Midwest also has lots of development concentrated in to one specific area, usually being downtown and if there is a river or a waterfront of some sort. Leading to a LOT of decaying neighborhoods a huge wealth gap between the rich and poor areas.

@Urban Architect You may want to turn off 'made for children' settings as its limiting people from clicking the bell icon for updates.

The midwest or up north have 9 major u.s. cities here they are Cincinnati, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Cleveland, St.Louis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, and Denver.These cities are pretty big probably the biggest i have ever been to in the U.S.The only city i seen that was kind of little was Indianapolis.Back in the day that city had smaller land mass.Now the whole county of Indianapolis is the city limits.I don't know why they annexed it like that they should of just kept it the same city limits it was.If the city of Indianapolis starts building more skyscrapers for thier downtown skyline and start making the whole city more dense that it will look like a major city but gor now its not.Big ups for those 9 large U.S
major cities.They are the definition of an up north or midwest true major cities
