Here are some of the real world buildings that the city tiles are based from. As you can see, buildings were chosen for their iconographic value.
Waltown
Typical Walmart, suburban and rural U.S.A. (1990s)
Hated across the US yet still immensely profitable. The essence of Infinite City Sleaze.
Typical late 20th century Southwest U.S.A. suburb. (1990s)
Due to their romaticized domestic image, these are better recieved by most, but they occupy much larger spaces in endless sprawl.
Plastic Valley
Silicon Valley office park, California (1980s)
Office boxes for people, parking boxes for cars, factory boxes for machines- the home of cubicle culture.
Ciudad Latinoamericano
United Nations Bldg. New York (1953)
The architect of this building, Oscar Niemeyer, was from Brazil.
Copan Apartment Building, Sao Paolo, Brazil (1957)
Another Niemeyer highrise, and one of the earliest examples of Modernism.
PEMEX Tower, Mexico City (1984)
Until recently, Mexico City's tallest building.
Umejuku
Shinjuku Sumitomo Bldg., Tokyo (1974)
Shinjuku Mitsui Bldg., Tokyo (1974)
Two of a series of huge boxes erected by Japanese conglomerates in the days of phenomenal growth before the oil crunch.
NEC Supertower, Tokyo (1990)
An early example of the new type of high tech Late Modernist Japanese skyscraper.
Umeda Sky Building, Osaka, Japan (1993)
An Osaka landmark and another very high tech building.
Zhujiang City
China Int'l Trust & Investment Corp. (CITIC) Bldg., Guangzhou, China (1997)
The very image of technocracy.
Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, Hong Kong (1985)
One of the world's most expensive and high tech buildings.
Typical Hong Kong apartment estate (1990s to present)
Literally hundreds of these dot the hills of Hong Kong, often in large clusters called "new towns".
