Can we build a CAR-FREE EUROPEAN CITY in Cities Skylines 2?

A lot of people have said that car-centric cities are the ONLY option in Cities Skylines 2. But that's not entirely true. In this video, I'm going to attempt to build a CAR-FREE European City to prove it can be done.
But will I be able to make a city that truly has no cars, or will the game's mechanics win out in the end?
In this video, we will attempt to build a walkable European-style city in Cities Skylines 2 with pedestrian roads and public transit ONLY to see if we can get it to function.

The sole reason for aquiring this game was to see if I was able to make a walkable, bikeable, public transport driven city. On basically all attempts I have failed and am quite bummed it. I hope they bring out updates soon that include bikes and perhaps a not so large reliance on cars. What I did come up with this morning was to only connect the train station with the outside connect, that way cars wont be able to come into the city, though I have not tested this yet.

@liberalideas8224 7 ай бұрын

Depends actually. Amsterdam certainly used to have cars and was quite a different city back then. However, most other cities I can think about with amazing walking streets were just never paved over, almost left behind the times as a "failing" part of the city for decades until people started realizing that the old walkable parts of the city always remained busy. I believe that is true with Venice and where I lived in Italy for a couple years, Pordenone.I think that's true of Kasierslautern Germany as well. Both those other two cities have plenty of cars with still generous sidewalks, but also dedicated walking streets, oddly both connecting the city's train stations up to the city's historic chapels now that I think about it. In both cases, they have remained the heart of the city.

I really hope the devs end up including a "Anarchy" type of UI where you can chose if you want the roads to be elevated, cut and fill, at ground level, etc... it really surprised me that they didn't take that into consideration, as it is a really vanilla style type of mode and the UI is not complex.

@SineN0mine3 7 ай бұрын

My guess is that those features were meant to included but were removed due to causing bugs or making the game too difficult to new players. I expect it will be among the first mods to be released since the game engine clearly has the potential to be a lot more flexible. I hope at very least paradox adds a "constant height" toggle as that would fix 90% of annoyances.

FYI, if you draw your sea routes and then raise the land, it'll leave channels JUST big enough for the boats to still go through. Seems to also pretty consistently give me a few layers under the water for trains and tunnels. Makes it really easy to have a silly amount of passenger harbors boating peeps around. Additionally, using the level tool to raise the land up from the depths and forming islands that you drew with invisible boat roads is very satisfying. :)

I hope we get a toggle option later between ground/cut/wall/elevated segments, even nicer if we could choose which sides get walls or don't, since I ended up with some unzoneable sections that are too much of a pain for me to go fix them Great job, this looks very nice!

At one point in my city's development I needed to level up without creating a whole bunch of hastily-planned sprawl which doesn't fit the lore, so I created a tiny neighborhood on a narrow island about the size of an elementary school. To make use of every bit of space, i only zoned ld commercial/hd residential. The only street was the narrow alley around the perimeter which created a quay, two narrow covered bridges for entrance/exit at either end, and a path underneath the overpass which bisected the island. It accidentally became a car-free neighborhood except for service vehicles because nobody can park on alleys, which I take as a W. I would wager you could create a similar concept by using mostly alleys in your city, plus occasional 4-lane streets so that you can fit trams down the middle. I don't find "pedestrian streets" suitable for most of my builds because they're too wide to allow for the building density I want.

I wonder if perhaps the issue isn't that we can't create car-free, people-scale cities in Cities Skylines 2, but that it's more difficult than people expected. One of my biggest issues with CS1 was not being able to make pedestrian focused cities, cars ALWAYS had to be there. Plazas and Promenades helped, but it still wasn't easy. I was expecting to have an easier time of human-focused development in CS2, since we have mixed use and such, but alas.. I suppose we'll have to wait for a DLC to *really* see if it's possible.

@SineN0mine3 7 ай бұрын

Urban promenades DLC is scheduled for release this quarter, I wonder if it will be delayed due to all of the complaining but hopefully it addresses some of these issues. Regarding the video; it seems fairly obvious that a city wouldn't function without roads if it doesn't have some other type of transport connection (rail or sea), particularly to handle freight. Completely self sustaining cities only exist in our imaginations. I don't think it's a limitation of the game as it currently stands that you cannot have your entire city disconnected from the rest of the world. Real walkable cities still have cars, but more importantly they also have a lot of trucks. It's quite feasible in the game as it is to have a city which has a road network that is almost exclusively used for freight. Pedestrian streets are a really effective way to reduce car reliance in CS:2 however you must provide alternatives otherwise people who live or work on pedestrian streets will still have to drive. From what I've seen, private vehicles using pedestrian streets *may* be a big but it might also be intended behaviour when you haven't adequately provided alternative transportation.

To do the canal section easier, you can level the terain a little lower than your finished height then raise the road (it turns to bridge at 8.something meters, otherwise it has the concrete base).

I think that's fine. I mean, if the game didn't offer the potential for an at least almost car-free city, you would have to fundamentally question the game's public transport system. Otherwise, local public transport would not be able to effectively relieve congestion on the streets. Almost car-free is perfectly fine.

This was my dream when I started playing the game, looks like way too much effort for a lot of work. Hopefully a good mod comes out that makes an Amsterdam-style city possible without wasting years of your life. Also, curved lots, or flexible shaped lots should have been in this game.

I think I can safely say that i've been well and truely defeated when I said that there were no pedestrian paths in Skylines 2 in a previous video / community post. First I made my usual "fire and forget" post saying there were no paths in the community post, realised that there were "paths though not what I meant, I meant the pedestrian roads so I edited a correction. Shortly after, clicked on a Biffa video and sees him fly past his pedestrian roads then later on goes on an Overcharged Egg video, he flies past a pedestrian road. Now I wake up and see a notification by Diana "Oh! let's have a video showcasing these pedestrian roads!"😆 Great video but... You don't have to rub it in.😛

Why is that first song so sad? Why is nothing i do ever good? I feel the pain of cut and fill after making a quay along the river on the mountain map. It took me 3 tries and like 3.5 hours but it looks gorgeous now! Well worth it

The song reflects how I feel trying to navigate this maps insane terrain 😭

seeing private cars on the pedestrian roads broke my heart. I was so excited for CS2's first class pedestrian roads.

The lack of bicycles kills it for me tbh

Dang, I only just learned about CS2 and I'm extremely disappointed that they didn't do multiuse buildings and walkable cities right off the bat. To me, that was the only thing missing from CS1. Not sure why they even did a sequel then

Awesome! I hope it will get easier to build carfree cities. My dream for a game is not to just build bigger roads and have more cars. But I failed to do so (but not with unlimited money)

The fact that this much effort is necessary to fight the game systems to get a livable city kind of proves the point that the game feels made for us suburbia style cities.

I've built US suburbia in CS1 many times, CS2 doesn't even do US suburbia well yet either. It's still just a road building simulator with some zoning. Gotta get those mods and DLCs and assets.

Could you disjoint the industry and the rest of the city? You connect highway to industry to allow the trucks and such. Then you add only walking paths and trams from the industry to the main part of the city so your cims can get across without any traffic coming.
