description City Life: World Edition Overview

City Life: World Edition is a 2008 city-building and economic simulation game developed by the French studio Monte Cristo. Players zone land, construct services and transportation, manage municipal finances, and try to accommodate six social classes with differing needs and incompatible relationships. The World Edition expands the earlier City Life releases with additional maps, buildings, scenarios, and an editor for creating custom structures.

help City Life: World Edition FAQ

What makes City Life: World Edition different from SimCity?

Both games involve zoning, roads, services, and city finances, but City Life focuses heavily on social compatibility. Its six resident classes can become unhappy or riot when placed beside groups they dislike.

What are the six social classes in City Life?

The game names them elites, suits, blue-collars, have-nots, fringe, and radical chic. Each group has different demands for housing, services, jobs, and nearby residents.

What did World Edition add to the original City Life?

World Edition expanded Monte Cristo's 2006 city builder with new maps, more than 100 buildings, famous landmarks, and a built-in content editor. It remained a PC-focused city-building game.

Can you build a city based on a real place in City Life: World Edition?

Yes. The editor can import satellite images so players can lay out a city around a real-world location.
