Proximity City is a micro city-planning game about making limited space work harder. Instead of building a giant city, you make careful placement decisions on a compact map. Homes, jobs, services, and other structures matter because of what sits near them. That gives the game a different feeling from an idle tycoon. Progress comes from reading the board, finding useful combinations, and avoiding placements that block better options later. Players who like puzzle-like management games will enjoy how quickly every tile becomes important. A single building can solve one need while creating another planning question, which keeps each run thoughtful without requiring a huge time commitment.
Proximity City is a smart addition because it brings city-planning decisions into a small, readable browser game. Watch how the first cycle works, notice where progress slows, and spend with a clear purpose.

Strategy tips
Upgrade logic and smart growth
First minute tip: Before placing buildings quickly, study how adjacency works. The strongest move is often the tile that improves several neighbors at once.
Preserve central space until you understand which building types need the most neighbors. Early careless placement can make later combinations weaker.
Look for moves that help several tiles at once. A building that supports multiple needs is often stronger than one that solves only a single edge case.
Treat roads, services, and homes as a connected pattern. A compact city succeeds when each piece supports the surrounding area.
Do not waste central tiles too early.
Strong adjacency beats random expansion.
Think two placements ahead when the map gets crowded.
