Car Park Capital players strip cities down to car-free utopias
Original: Car Park Capital's cities are utopias of public transport networks and green living, or they were before I got done… The
Car Park Capital, a city-building game, lets players design cities built around public transport, cycling and green living. One player describes turning the fictional Baldtown City into streets almost empty of traffic, with crowds of citizens moving about on foot instead. The game is drawing attention for how it rewards car-free urban planning, in contrast to traditional traffic-heavy city builders.
Why now: Players are sharing how the game's car-free transport planning contrasts with conventional city builders and echoes real-world debates about urban mobility.
