a)本项目第一部分的研究，我选择的城市是旧金山。我本能够得到互联网上的分区图，使我的城市设计更顺利。但是我发现大部分的模拟是相当准确的实际城市。实际的城市和模拟之间的相似性如下。当这个城市运转起来并运行后，该分区并不需要太多的变化，除了商业密度分区和缺乏农业分区，我从分区图中复制的分区工作做得相当好。此外，使用分区的城市交通更为便利，因为没有太多的拥堵。然而，也有一些明显的差异。首先，这个城市会有更多的农业，我会在这个问题的一部分，进一步发言。第二，做类似的分区图时，我发现商业密度不能够明确填写；为了解决这个问题，我不得不减少密度，直到城市拥有更多的公民。这是很容易解释的事实，我是使用最近的分区图，而不是100年前的分区图，显然是城市需要聚集人口之前，它可以支持这样的商业密度。

Study On The Simcity Project

a)The city I chose to do the first part of this project was San Francisco. I was able to get the zoning maps off the internet to make my design of the city go more smoothly. I found that the simulation for the most part was fairly accurate to the actual city. The similarities between the actual city and the simulation are as follows. The zoning didn't require much changing once the city was up and running, the zoning that I copied from zoning maps worked quite well with the exception of the commercial density zoning and the lack of agricultural zoning. In addition, using the zoning for the city also allowed a sort of ease of traffic as there was not much congestion. However, there were some clear differences as well. First, the city called for a lot more agriculture, which I will speak further about in part C of this question. Second, I found that commercial density didn't fill out when done similar to the zoning maps, to fix this problem I had to reduce the density until the city built more citizens. This is easily explained by the fact that I was using recent zoning maps rather than zoning maps from 100 years previous, clearly the city needs to build a population before it could support such commercial density.

b) No the most densely developed and populated places did not occur in the same areas. This was a common problem I was having with creating San Francisco. Because San Francisco depends on its busy ports for a lot of the cities commercial business it was hard trying to replicate that by creating only one city. The problem occurred mostly in the commercial density levels, there is a high commercial density around the ports of San Francisco, but I find although SimCity 4 does a good job simulating internal factors within a city the external factors such as the business that is created by the ports was not replicated, because of this, there was not nearly enough commercial density created. Furthermore, places in San Francisco that are densely populated due to tourism were also not conveyed.

c) My RCI Graphs state that there is a high demand for residential (in all forms of wealth) whereas a lower demand for both industry and commercial. This makes sense considering that in downtown San Francisco much of the space is taken by commercial zoning and industrial zoning around the water ( on the north east side). It isn't until you move further south west you encounter more residential zoning which is a relatively far commute (even though commutes inside the city were still considered 'long' when scrolled over). In downtown San Francisco there is a lot of commercial zoning but very little residential so it would make sense that the simulator wants more residential zoning closer by.

d) For the most part I found that SimCity is pretty accurate when It comes to wealth distribution, especially in consideration of residential homes. For residential homes I found h
