SPIRALOPOLIS is a boomimg Sim City 2000 metropolis with a population of
9,342,726 sims. They are highly educated with an EQ of 132 and there is zero
unemployment. The sims have few complaints about traffic, crime and pollution
except for the area occupied by 140 Launch Arcos where fighting crime is an
exersize in futility. The mayors mansion, statue and city hall occupy the prime
real estate in the center of the city. A single road in the shape of a spiral
starts at this point and winds out to the perimeter. The city was designed and
constructed without the use of any hex codes or cheat utilities. Building funds
were obtained by dropping funding of all services except transportation to 15%
and then letting the city run unattended over several evenings.  Consequenty,
the current year is 24,461. Commercial zones are concentrated in the center,
then residential, and industrial is concentrated on the perimeter. Services
that are not location critical such as schools, colleges and hospitals were
placed as far away from the center of the city as possible to preserve high
land value areas for maximum development. Crime is kept to a minimum by evenly
spacing police stations every 20 tiles. Fire stations, parks, zoos and marinas
were added at random locations as the sims demanded them. If anyone has managed
to squeeze more sims into a city using DOS Version 1.0, please let me know. I
would like to study the building techniques of others.
