Avenues & Acres

ABOUT THIS GAME Every city starts somewhere. A road, a few homes, a factory on the outskirts. Before long, those first connections become a network of busy streets, growing neighbourhoods and people making their lives within them. Avenues & Acres is a top-down city builder that combines detailed road construction, interconnected economic systems and the everyday lives of individual residents. Design your city from the ground up, manage the services that keep it running, and discover the stories unfolding behind its streets and rooftops. Build your city, one road at a time Shape your road network with sweeping curves, roundabouts, bridges, tunnels and highway interchanges. Plan quiet residential streets, connect commercial districts and create routes for commuters, shoppers and freight traffic. Zone homes, shops, offices and industry, then watch construction sites turn into bustling neighbourhoods. As your city expands, its roads become the connections between where people live, where they work and where goods need to go. Plan for growth, improve connections and make room for a city that never stops moving. An economy that moves through your streets Your city depends on more than roads and buildings. Factories need supplies, shops need goods and businesses need workers. Trucks travel between industries and commercial areas, bringing in materials, delivering locally produced goods and carrying exports to the wider region. Connect your city to the outside world through highways, support local production and build the transport networks that keep goods flowing. Create employment opportunities, maintain access to businesses and balance taxes, public services and the demands of a growing economy. From the industrial outskirts to the shops on a neighbourhood street, each part of the city has a role in keeping the whole thing running. A city full of individual lives Behind every home and workplace are people with lives of their own. Residents grow up, attend school, find jobs, form relationships and eventually retire. Outside their daily routines, they develop interests, pursue activities and connect with others who share their passions. Follow individual residents as their lives develop alongside your city. A local performance might bring neighbours together, attract an audience and inspire someone else to pursue an interest of their own. Keep up with their thoughts and activities through Chatter, or read the Town Herald to discover what's happening across your city. From everyday routines to personal milestones, there's more to your neighbourhoods than what you can see from above. Make room for a growing city Growth brings new opportunities, but also new responsibilities. Provide schools, parks, healthcare and essential utilities to support your residents. Expand commercial and industrial areas to create jobs and supply the city, while considering the pollution and demands that come with development. Balance your budget, adjust taxes and invest in the infrastructure and services your city needs. Each new neighbourhood adds to the network of roads, businesses and public facilities you manage, bringing new possibilities and challenges as the city grows. Watch your city come to life Take a closer look at the world you've built. Follow traffic through a busy intersection, watch deliveries arrive at local businesses or spend some time observing a neighbourhood going about its day. See autumn colours spread through the trees, winter snow settle on rooftops and streetlights illuminate the roads at dusk. A crisp, colourful top-down art style brings the details of your city into view, from individual homes and storefronts to the sprawling road network connecting them. Grow at your own pace Start on a procedurally generated map and gradually expand as your city develops, or choose unlimited funds and unlocked land to build without financial constraints. Pause to design a complicated interchange, speed up time to see your plans take shape, or simply follow the activity of a city you've spent hours building. Whether you're refining a road network, balancing an industrial economy or getting to know the people who call your neighbourhoods home, Avenues & Acres gives you a city to build, manage and explore. Build the city. Keep it moving. Discover the life within it.
