    weird take. video games have to have a command economy because they are designed to be played. a free market city builder would just be a screensaver.

      Cities are not functionally free market. You could have control of layout, zoning, regulations, infrastructure design and allocation, tax incentives, etc.

      Not sure how well this would model a real city where the “freehand” is guided by countless individual decisions.
