I was just wondering how people like to build their cities. It seems like a lot of people like to build one high density are, a downtown, surrounded by low density neighborhoods. However, I have always wondered about building lots of small (in terms of area) cities all over the map that are connected by trains/blimps/ferries. Personally I usually fill in the terrain with stylistically different neighborhoods that vary from low to high density. Though I have found that this tends to leave little room for a really well developed and integrated public transit network.
What build patterns do you all use for your cities?
