The main goal of the developer was to publish this game that is capable of simulating the routines of the citizens while allowing the player to perform their activities simply. There is something called a sandbox mode in which the player will be able to manage the city in a creative format. The work includes budget, employment, health, and pollution controls. The main task of the player in this game is to manage elements for the proper functioning of the city.

The people's residence place could influence their attitudes toward the skyline, and most of those living in the areas with contemporary contexts selected the skyline of their contemporary context as the favorite skyline. They introduced some features as peacefulness, memorability, and distinctiveness as the reasons for their choice. The results showed that people prefer the nature and the traditional skyline over the contemporary skyline. Three types of nature, traditional, and contemporary skylines were identified as the dominant skylines. 360 citizens were asked to complete a questionnaire to express their opinions and preferences along with the reasons.

The research method is based on the respondents' judgment of the color images of the skylines. The research deals with the effect of skylines on citizens' pleasantness.
