I don't know if its possible, but challenge idea for cities skylines. Make a industrial wasteland city but have so many hospitals that people can survive in the cancer city and have a semi normal life span.

I like to use the checkerboard technique on residential zones in my regular cities to create one-tile lots for a Chicago-esque dense single-family dwellings. If you wait for the one tile lot to develop, then you can put another one-tile residential zone next to it, and they won't join up.
This is the same pattern I employ to force 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 developments. It takes a lot longer for the area to develop, but you get the desired diversity in the structures being built.
if you use mods, you could also create themes with only the 1x1 buildings & zone en masse. adds a safeguard against 2 adjacent buildings being destroyed and rebuilding as one!

> Urban sprawl makes you go bankrupt > Only successful build ever use mixed-use zoning (at least approximated it) You are absolutely right, and you should look at Strongtowns and Not Just Bikes or City Beautiful or Citynerd or ...
Industry 4.0 works over dumb commercial too when there's high education. It can be city-wide. Shifts the education demand a bit, there's still some uneducated jobs.

I wonder if its possible to have a city that's all industrial wasteland, but you have enough hospitals that people can survive the cancer city and have a semi normal life span.
AA: I created a utopia also AA: i strategically closed schools to make it harder for the inhabitants to get jobs that require higher education, forcing them to work in my factories.
AA being so confused by the challenge city doing well & getting on without a hitch, that he nukes it with meteors to achieve the suffering he's used to, is comedy gold. 😂
We can all appreciate that amphibian actually shouted out the person he got this idea from. He didn't just throw them in the description. Props for being a good person!
Toadie's a great C:S content creator who definitely works harder and makes better content than her sub count would make you think. She needs some love!
My favorite thing avout AA is how even though he's a well spoken man who often goes on long philosophical ramblings, every now and then theres a fart noise here and there.
We love seein more city skylines content! Now we just need you to have a competition against Real Civil Engineer on who can make a more memier but successful city!
Astounding angelfish, Ambiguous Amphibian(man)! An awfully accomplished achievement abiding alongside almost adequate and aesthetically appealing allotments. (Finally, TH-cam notifications know when I should be getting AA notifications. Not several days after, not a month after, but when they're hot off the press.)

This video appeared in my recommended. I’ve never even heard of this game before, but with this video as my first impression, it seems like the most complicated thing ever. I looked up more info about it, and found a beginner’s guide that’s 27 parts, each around an hour long. How is that only for beginners!? Man, if this is how cities are managed in a video game, then I can’t fathom how hard it must be in real life. Now that I’m thinking about it, I realize I don’t know much about how the real world works; I only know what I’ve seen in movies. I’d make a terrible mayor or president. It’s amazing that they’re able to take care of millions of people, when I can barely take care of myself.
I did something similar in Sim CIty 2013. A Town with no specialised industry of any kind. And it was PERFECT. it made money and everyone had everything they needed. Baffling.
@@skorpiongod sorry to have caused you immense disappointment. figured it was a joke. was just making sure. didn't mean to fail humanity. i'm going to go now.
@@yesterday00 no no, im saying your confusion is justified. I've genuinely seen people mindlessly argue that walkable cities are some communist dystopian plot.
You should do a one road city Not just a line Maybe a grand spiral But the real spirit of AA would be Dystopian overpasses haphazardly placed as willy nilly spaghetti as urban needs he neglected early being a cheapskate come up later on
I was nervous about the new editor but it seems they are totally killing it. Loved the style of this video- been watching a while and I can say confidently this is a change for the better. Cheers
as always: good on you for getting paradox's money. however, no amount of ads will convince me to give paradox another red cent so long as they force you to agree to allow your personal data to be sold. this would not be an issue but for the fact that paradox reps have sworn up and down that no data is sold. thing is, why do we have to agree to allow it if they are not doing it?
6:40 my country already created this problem. I'm actually afraid the low to not educated people are going to have better pay just because there's less supply of them

Make a city powered by tsunamis
Dis you get a new editor yet
Free city Skys lines? Ahh I been playing it since 2014 when I was 5…
_Is it possible to make a city with only the smallest possible lot size?_
Planners in Hong Kong would answer with an emphatic yes.
I can smell the air quality of Beijing already
Hong Kong is delightful 😊
Planers in hongkong: one building in one lot? Nah, we’ll do three… for now
DID SOMEBODY SAY KOWLOON WALLED CITY?
But here we get skyscrapers on a one tile lot, HK > CS
I love that it took him 4 seconds to realize modern suburban sprawl is unmaintainable
Damn, can you imagine a "Not Just Bikes", "Strong Towns", and "AA" cross-over?
Modern suburban sprawl is unsustainable because modernity and consumerism is unsustainable
My thoughts too…
dirt roads will solve americas suburban woes
I can maintain it pretty well in Cities: Skylines. I just reduce the road budget 😃
The fact I cant tell the difference between the new editor and your editing style means you must've picked the perfect editor who suits you just right
Your right. I did not realise (mid watching) that there was any difference! It felt like any other video AA's put out
I like to use the checkerboard technique on residential zones in my regular cities to create one-tile lots for a Chicago-esque dense single-family dwellings. If you wait for the one tile lot to develop, then you can put another one-tile residential zone next to it, and they won't join up.

Seeing the destroyed city made me think that playing a city builder in a post apocalyptic setting like fallout would be really cool to experience.
I recommend Endzone: A World Apart
I did not know what the name of the serpinski triangle was until this video, thank you AA
1:30 you are just describing an averege american city
IRL Civil Engineers: “It’s Impossible to Build The Perfect Square Angle-Block Cit-“
“I Stand Corrected.”
I Love You
The... the issues starting at 10 minutes in felt a bit... uhm... close to home.

04:21 ... is that... is that The Fifth Element soundtrack playing in the background...?
One plot cities? Dude that basically every city in the US
you just made the best tokio simulator i have ever seen.
Little boxes on the hillside~ Little boxes made of ticky tacky~
Little boxes on the hillside~ Little boxes all the same~
pls upload a vod of this love city skylines .. more vods !!!
6:50 just like irl
OH my god the news in that city..
"The asteroids are heading straight for the fuel storage district! The HUMANITY"
American urban planners designing a suburb looking at that street width to lot size going "mmmmmm yes"
5:42 AA becoming Daddy Bigbucks
"Better people" sounds so insidious. Maybe the people in the thriving city just got more capable as they benefited from the city?
your videos are always a joy to watch. thanks for making them
“Too many people were too smart“. What a crazy statement. Society
Really wish the flashing lights weren't included. I quickly looked away but still got a headache from them
Wow this is the earliest I've been on a vid yet
Bro really wanted to play Simcity 2013 in Cities Skylines
The best system is clearly one where too much education can collapse industry.
never disappointed by this channel
I may not hve a brain, but I do have an idea - the office building owners
I feel like the WEF is trying to play this IRL.
The prison technically keeps IN the bad people :O
one tile city in kenshi coming soon?
yeeah i know you want to
right? right? 😢
Congratulations, you built Tokyo.
Congrats, you've just created the Seul.
A place where all buildings looks the same cubes, and overeducated citizens don't want to work at factories.
> Urban sprawl makes you go bankrupt
> Only successful build ever use mixed-use zoning (at least approximated it)
You are absolutely right, and you should look at Strongtowns and Not Just Bikes or City Beautiful or Citynerd or ...
If you have VR try to do a Cities video
6:32 literly just describing the russian million program
The ultimate NIMBY town
2:23 i literally had to look back at my dog, cause i thought she farted.
Nipplopolis, an instant classic
Try the Golden Ratio Shape
6:59 what about the industry 4.0 policy
Use the industry 4.0 policy to give higher educated people jobs at industry. That should help overeducation
i want ambiguousamphibian to run actual social experiment on real (unaware and unconsenting) human beings. Reddit, can we please make this happen?
Industry 4.0 works over dumb commercial too when there's high education. It can be city-wide. Shifts the education demand a bit, there's still some uneducated jobs.
no way, he recreated delhi
paradox LOVES you lmao
A frog inspired by a toad
ive wanted city skylines for a year now and i jus missed my chance to get it by one week :( im sad now.
Ah, a nice and prosperous society. Time to propel asteroids at it.
It just like bonsai of seoul.
My man made tokyo
nice video
8:55 david bowie
Super flamable dog parks
who is the main voice actor in this video (playing leon)?
I saw buildings larger than 1 tile, mister
Amphibian the type of guy who floats when he smells a pie.
Oh, country roads, take me home...
If AA thinks the 1-Tile city is challenging, wait until he tries the Negative 1-Tile challenge.
A new challenger approaches
And then the Square Root of Negative One Tile Challenge
What even is the negative 1-tile?

I wonder if its possible to have a city that's all industrial wasteland, but you have enough hospitals that people can survive the cancer city and have a semi normal life span.
Amphib, I want to see this ecological disaster/dystopian future/industrial hellhole/ aka just modern Los Angeles challenge. This please.
Mandatory Hazmat suit ordinance, like living in the Exclusion Zone
"Industrial wasteland" made me think of Kenshi. And now I want AA to build a prosperous Kenshi city in City Skyline
Hong kong
Sounds like Pasadena and Houston
The best part of the Cities Skylines 2 announcement was imagining what AA is gonna do with that game when it comes out.
AA and RCE
aa*
Ayyy today AA asks the real questions: How much DOES size matter?
Great video good sir. 🐸
Awesome idea
[]🦌
AA: I created a utopia
also AA: i strategically closed schools to make it harder for the inhabitants to get jobs that require higher education, forcing them to work in my factories.
Like it is in real life.
AA being so confused by the challenge city doing well & getting on without a hitch, that he nukes it with meteors to achieve the suffering he's used to, is comedy gold. 😂
hi
The way you said "who do not eat garbage!" sounded quite defensive, as though you're covering up for them.
AA: moves away from unmaintainable suburban sprawl and actually develops infrastructure
The city: prospers
AA: surprised Pikachu
We can all appreciate that amphibian actually shouted out the person he got this idea from. He didn't just throw them in the description. Props for being a good person!
Most TH-camrs dont even put these things in the description
@@Rynewulf that’s the sad part
Toadie's a great C:S content creator who definitely works harder and makes better content than her sub count would make you think. She needs some love!
Wouldn't have made him a bad person if he didn't
@@BasileosHerodou My wording is bad their, I meant that it shows that he is being a better person then he needs to be. which I was happy for
Congratulations! You recreated Tokyo, Japan
AA discovers the wonders mixed-use zoning by accident and wonders why his city just works.
My favorite thing avout AA is how even though he's a well spoken man who often goes on long philosophical ramblings, every now and then theres a fart noise here and there.
We love seein more city skylines content! Now we just need you to have a competition against Real Civil Engineer on who can make a more memier but successful city!
RCE would win because he always builds the strongest most efficient shape 😂
Astounding angelfish, Ambiguous Amphibian(man)! An awfully accomplished achievement abiding alongside almost adequate and aesthetically appealing allotments.
(Finally, TH-cam notifications know when I should be getting AA notifications. Not several days after, not a month after, but when they're hot off the press.)
In the end, Nipplopolis got turned into West Virginia.
Me: that first city looks like a nightmare..
Wait.. those remind me of cities in the USA ._.

@@skivvy3565 Yeah cause thats what "looks like" means. You definitely didnt visit their schools :o
yes, another city skylines video, my favorite content from you amphibian, thanks.

“Nuclear bomb of happiness” as a wave of green smileys flow across the city lolol I’m ded
With this challenge AA accidentally just made a hell-scape known as a "walkable city"
a true nightmare to us north americans
Is this a joke or are you just anti walkable cities
@@yesterday00 its sad that your confusion is warranted, but it looks like a joke based on the last line.
@@skorpiongod sorry to have caused you immense disappointment. figured it was a joke. was just making sure. didn't mean to fail humanity. i'm going to go now.
@Yesterday
Noooo don’t leave me. Then it’ll be tomorrow or the present
@@yesterday00 no no, im saying your confusion is justified. I've genuinely seen people mindlessly argue that walkable cities are some communist dystopian plot.
4:31 I have the mental age of a 15 year old I swear
You should do a one road city
Not just a line
Maybe a grand spiral
But the real spirit of AA would be
Dystopian overpasses haphazardly placed as willy nilly spaghetti as urban needs he neglected early being a cheapskate come up later on
I'm pretty sure he' done that before
6:50-ish.. . Art imitates life.
My first thought was a city that is only 1 building, yet I had complete expectation that he could make it entertaining
1:37 is just a description of US urban infrastructure as is
Always look forward to your new videos! Keep it up Amphibian ☺️💪✨
As a non channel memeber/patron i can confim i exclusively eat garabage.
Flamin hot Cheetos washed down with Mountain Dew,
The breakfast of champions
1:45 so San Francisco?
I was nervous about the new editor but it seems they are totally killing it. Loved the style of this video- been watching a while and I can say confidently this is a change for the better. Cheers
just booted my pc as i got back from work and this was uploaded 24 seconds ago. I say thats perfect timing
Is Cities Skylines still free-to-play this weekend if we haven't enjoyed your videos on it?

Have you ever played Workers & Resources? It seems right up your alley
Local American tries high density European city design and ks shocked that it js a resounding success.
Excellent work amphib, your work always gives me a sense of ennui and existential dread
We need more city skylines
This is unironically how I play the game
Wait until he finds out about the policies in cities skylines. For example industry 4.0
0:44 What if we haven't enjoyed your videos on Cities: Skylines? Is it still free-to-play this weekend?
Anyways, great video as always!
You’re going to play it and you’re gonna damn like it while you’re at it! Not an option
