Grid Layout Essentials
In “Cities: Skylines 2,” mastering the grid system is vital for city planning. This system encompasses street intersections and realistic building placements. The game offers innovative grid placement tools, allowing for manual and automated grid creation.

Creative Grid Designing
Here, we’ll delve into effective grid layout techniques and examples. Remember, creativity is key in city design; don’t feel restricted by traditional grid patterns!
Efficient Use of the Grid Placement Tool
The grid placement tool simplifies street layout. First, choose a road type and then select the checkerboard icon in ‘Tool Mode.’ Click and drag to set your grid’s direction. A second click determines the grid’s side, with adjustments for width visible in blue.
Custom Grid Crafting
Custom grid creation is straightforward. Lay out roads in a grid, connecting them to existing streets. Below are some nuanced tips for custom grids.
Optimizing Grid Layout
The tool generates complete grids, eliminating empty spaces and ideal for a semi-dense suburban feel. However, in custom grids, monitor street spacing to avoid unrealistic, empty central blocks.
Seamless Street Integration
Notice the tool’s blue circle indicating the grid’s extent. Align this with existing cells for a cohesive layout. Each cell measures eight meters, a useful metric for street placement. A minimum two-cell street offers 16 meters of building space.
Addressing Street Misalignments
Sometimes, streets may misalign, creating visible seams. Adjusting street length by eight meters can resolve this.
Incorporating Main Streets
Integrating main streets into your grid is crucial. Think of real-world cities with primary roads complementing the grid for efficient travel. In the game, main streets can encircle or bisect your city, enhancing navigation, especially in larger cities. The example above shows a six-lane road setup with a central grid, illustrating this concept.
