Buy The City Must Grow PC key

The City Must Grow is a turn-based, puzzle-like city-building game in which you manage a new city on a flat plain. You decide where buildings and structures can be built, aiming to keep the city developing and its administration in your hands for as long as possible while growing its population.

Zone and develop

Each move gives you a random zoning type to mark on the map. After placing zones, you advance to the next cycle and observe how the city develops. You manage five main zone types: residential, agricultural, commercial, offices and industrial. Their distance, density and balance matter: poor planning can lead residents to leave, unused buildings to collapse and the city to fail in a chain reaction.

Objectives and tools

Completing objectives unlocks more advanced buildings and structures, as well as map-view tools that make management easier. Information messages and warnings guide you as you play. The game has no storyline, traffic simulation or much animation.

Turn-based play

Play proceeds one move at a time, with no time limit, so you can take things slowly. The game is fast-paced, but losing control of the city is part of the experience; you can try again to find a way to keep it growing. Your game state is saved each turn.
