About Town to City

Break free of the grid in Town to City: a cozy city builder that invites you to create a beautiful and bustling community. Freely place houses, shops, and amenities, along with natural elements, to delight your residents and encourage new families to move in. As your population grows, so can your ambitions: create multiple towns that can grow on their own or thrive together, helping the whole region develop and prosper.

In the campaign or sandbox mode, you’re free to build at your own pace, placing each flower bed with pixel precision or prioritizing growing your economy and developing your town into a thriving city.

Shape Your City

A truly gridless building lets you lay out your town however you like. Plan carefully-ordered rows of houses and city districts, or grow organically outwardwith residences, amenities, parks, and plazas connected by winding streets and alleys.

Unleash Your Creativity

Customize your settlement to your heart’s content with a wide range of customization options. Set up lighting, plant flowers and wooded parks, and decorate houses and buildings to complement or contrast. With gorgeous voxel graphics as a base, it’s easy to create something beautiful you’ll want to capture with the in-game photo mode.

Nurture Your Community

As your town flourishes, you’ll need to meet the needs of your growing population. Provide amenities that cater to everyone, from farmers and workers to artisans and the bourgeoisie, as well as specific requests from individual residents. Get to know each person as they arrive in town and watch them settle down to form new families in the homes you built for them.

Grow Your Economy

Assign workers to jobs, research new buildings and decorations, and boost your sleepy settlement into a bustling center of commerce. As you expand beyond the bounds of your first town, you’ll pursue new developments in farming and tourism by building new towns, all connected by trade and travel routes.
