Small (80-Residence) Farmer/Worker City [Expand/Collapse]
Image	Buildings	Construction cost	Maintenance cost	Description
	80 1 1 1 1 1			A small, modular 80-residence layout providing 100% coverage of all public services (minus police station). This is good for production islands (workers are all you need if you slot trade union items that substitute Artisan/Engineer productions to use Worker workforce) as the layout is easily repeatable, and is compact enough to fit into small spaces.

Easy Engineers [Expand/Collapse]
Image	Buildings	Construction cost	Maintenance cost	Description
	886 4 4 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1			So this city is a variant of the one Madaahk posted, it's a hybrid (Nature/Efficient) build mainly focused on reaching Engineers as soon as possible. The city has full coverage of every service, it's not the most space effcient one (70%). You should start by building the left half of the city, sustain it with the correct amount of farms (2). After you reached Workers on the inner square, you can start building the second half and upgrade them to Artisans. This city won't make you alot of money.

Engineers/investor 100% Town hall [Expand/Collapse]
Image	Buildings	Construction cost	Maintenance cost	Description
	460 6 4 4 4 2 2 1 1 1			Based on CroquetteMaster layout this is a revamped 4 Modular house blocks for 100% coverage of town halls around your engineers and investor residences with nearly full coverage of services (full if you make use of the palace DLC), you can add services from lower tiers on the outskirts and delete them once they level up to engineers, also you can use a module/quarter of the layout for enbesa/new world to add workforce specialists/items and have full coverage of the town hall as well. Empty spots can be used for ornaments or more houses, but no town hall coverage on them

All houses are covered with full public services including electricity if all roads are upgraded to paved roads, although houses in the middle north and south has a slightly lower coverage of Fire Station. This layout is appliable on most big flat islands and technically expandable in the middle towards north and south if the shape of the island allows. Free spaces in four corners are designed for beautifying use but can also be utilized as spare residence area and can be upgraded to tier 3 due to the lack of electricity coverage. The cost of paved roads, railway tiles, residences upgrade and World's Fair construction is not included in construction cost.

All green tiles are trees or decorations that can be replaced by rails to add more oil powerplants if needed. White space is free for you to customize that layout. The palace can have up to 105 wings here, ensuring it can cover the whole island almost. Some public buildings like universities are kind of useless, except for aesthetics purpose. There are currently 99 decoration gardens from botanica DLC that are placed. Black lines are rail tracks. I didn't finished them to let you choose where to put the oil pier. I also didn't place the main warehouse for the same reason. I credit MaelstromByDesign for his incredible work on that crown falls borders map that I used.

The lower design has a post office added, making the entire design suitable for Technicians. Player can choose whether to use the upper or lower placement of Arctic Lodges, regardless of population class. Placement of the twin Arctic Lodges on the lower design covers the most houses (54 out of 76, each covering 27), but the upper design places more house within the singular Arctic Lodge's Radius (41 out of 76). Either way, the author doesn't consider the placement of Arctic Lodges as too crucial within this region's residential areas.
