The essential city layout consists of several key components.

One central mall is a crucial element, where three types of main stores are essential. These include:

• A supermarket for food, such as Aldi
• A bric-a-brac and clothing store, similar to Kmart
• A hardware store, like Home Depot

The mall should also feature food courts and many other stores to cater to the community's needs. The mall can never be big enough.

In addition to the central mall, many convenience stores should be spaced apart throughout the city, such as 7/11. The preference is for larger convenience stores.

The rest of the city can be comprised of housing, small businesses, smaller shops, and eating strips.

However, housing is a significant issue, as there can never be too much accommodation. While alleyways and terraces provide charm and character, large dimension high-rise buildings are more efficient in terms of space and resources.
