My Mini City is a city simulator that introduces users to real-life challenges facing city development and planning including unemployment, sanitation, overpopulation, and natural disaster. My Mini City does not require users to download or update any software, it is a completely web-based application.

As most readers of this blog know, I am a huge proponent of web-based applications because their usability over a myriad of network and operating systems.
