This is the latest version of the Kosmograd Newsfeed, which has been published since 2005 by Martin Gittins.
The main focus of the blog is architecture and the city, viewed through the lens of Soviet Constructivism, and encompassing themes such as branding and city self-image, Suprematism, disurbanism, space travel, edgelands, borders, landscapes, drosscapes, virtual realities, representations.
I am also a sucker for axonometrics, hexagons and space planes.
Due out in November, (you can preorder it here), SimCity Societies promises to let you build cities anyway you want to. Taking a different approach to previous SImCity incarnations, it's less about planning infrastructure and more about shaping a society.
It looks like it'll feature a fairly sophisticated 3D building editing toolset too.
Perhaps I'll get further with simulating Okhitovich's Red City of the Planet of Communism with this version than with previous versions of SimCity.
I love these screenshots from the forthcoming game Spore. The brainchild of Will Wright, who also designed Sim City, the cities in Spore have a great feel to them, like Will Alsop channeling Paolo Soleri and Tony Rizzo RoadRunner backgrounds.
Looking forward to when this is released in early 2007.
