If you've played SimCity you know that if you don't have resources readily available, your only residential area is overlooking the beach, or you put your housing next to a coal refinery the frequency with which everyone just moves out is a little too high. Worse yet, with the latter, maybe the whole place burns down. So how does city planning work, why is it a thing, and how do the nuances of it sometimes cause more issues than they solve? Join hosts Shanti and Danny as we discuss what goes into city planning and how it can affect you and those around you.
