Build your city. Shape its future. Verdant City is an offline city builder and management simulator for iPhone and iPad. Start with a few roads and homes, then grow a bustling city with thriving neighborhoods, public transport and a character of its own. Plan residential, commercial and industrial districts. Add parks, schools, hospitals and civic landmarks. Watch buildings develop as you provide the services your growing population needs. Keep your city connected with streets, highways, bridges and tunnels. Build bus routes, railways and metro networks. Watch cars, trucks and trains move through your neighborhoods, and expand with airports and ports. Keep the essentials running. Connect electricity and water networks, manage sewage and waste, and choose the right balance of power sources. Wind turbines, solar farms and conventional plants give you different ways to meet demand. Make thoughtful decisions about taxes, service budgets and city policies. Balance monthly income against spending, or use municipal loans to finance your next project. Explore the impact of your choices with optional CO2 awareness. See estimated emissions per resident, compare energy sources and transport choices, and introduce policies such as EV support, efficiency retrofits and electric buses. Trees also contribute to the estimate. These are educational game estimates; the entire feature can be disabled in Settings. Shape waterways, forests and mountain terrain.
