About the Project Author

Hello! My name is Yurii, and I am an architect from Ukraine.

Architecture and model making have always been an important part of my life. I have been designing buildings for many years, while dedicating my free time to creating paper models.

This is how City-Builder was born—a project that combines my love of architecture, creativity, and city-building simulators.

About the Project Author

How Did the City-Builder Idea Begin?

Many years ago, I was a big fan of games such as SimCity, where you can build your own cities, plan districts, develop industries, and watch a small settlement gradually grow into an enormous megacity.

At some point, I wanted to bring this experience into the real world.

That is how the idea of creating a city that could be built with your own hands was born.

The Goal of the Project

My goal is to create a true paper city-building simulator in which everyone can build the city of their dreams.

Why the 1:600 Scale?

I spent a long time selecting the right scale and eventually chose 1:600.

This scale allows a large number of buildings to fit on an ordinary table or several sheets of cardboard. At the same time, the models remain sufficiently detailed and interesting to assemble.

As a result, you can build an entire megacity without taking up half of a room.

Why Aren't New Magazines Released More Often?

City-Builder is my personal independent project.

I create almost everything myself: I develop building concepts, design the models, create the textures, test the assembly process, record videos, manage the website, and run the project's social media pages.

This is not my main job. It is a hobby that I love and work on during my free time.

For this reason, new issues are usually released approximately once a month, although sometimes their development may take a little longer.

For me, the quality of the models is much more important than the speed of their release.

Why Are All the Buildings Original?

I have always found it more interesting to create my own architecture than to copy buildings that already exist.

Most City-Builder models are completely original designs created specifically for this world.

This gives the city a consistent, modern, and recognizable appearance.

Thank You for Being Here!

Thank you for becoming part of the City-Builder project!

I sincerely hope that my models bring you as much enjoyment as I experience while creating them.
