Mini city building halp

[Orkronos]

Ok guys. Iv had this idea floating around for a while and it involves building a miniature city, now thing is. I have no ******** clue where to begin. I thought some of you may have had such a passing interest in that sort of thing so Im fishing with hand grenades here.

My experience was with Sim City 3000, and my cities always ended up going bankrupt within a year or two.

I just used a stock premande city and burned it to the ground while laughing maniacally.

Do you mean a real scale model, or your own made up? Real or computer?

My problem was that I would always build the biggest, most expensive stuff I could, and then have a very small city for it to power. I'd have two Water Treatment Plants, an Airport, six different Highways and Railways, and a Fusion Plant- all supporting a city of about 600 people.

Shipping containers. I heard there's a city (in Holland or Denmark if I recall) made entirely out of shipping containers. They're uniform in size and shape so they can fit together like building blocks.
