🏗️ Lower Grand Metro City

Zone by zone, Lower Grand Metro City grows from a quiet plot into a humming little metropolis. Build a power plant and a water tower first, then drop in houses and shops that draw on them for steady tax income. Master the power-water-housing loop, reach the tax goal and watch your skyline rise. It runs a heavy-industry economy: bigger up-front builds that grind out strong, steady returns. Lower Grand Metro City is a free micro city-building game that plays instantly in your browser with one thumb — no download, no sign-up. Unlike a plain idle tycoon, here a resource puzzle sits underneath every tap: a house only pays tax while the power and water it needs are covered, so the fun is in the balancing act. Compact grids, clean vector zones, satisfying collect pops and a steadily rising tax goal make it a moreish "one more block" planner you can dip into any time. Your progress is quietly saved in your browser between sessions, so it is always ready when you return. Sound effects with a one-tap mute mean it is just as happy played silently in a waiting room.

How to play

• Select a building from the shop bar — start with a ⚡ power plant and 💧 water tower.
• Tap an empty plot to place it; the cost is spent and a timer starts.
• Add houses and shops only while your power and water meters stay positive.
• Tap a ready building (🪙) to collect its tax income, then reinvest.
• Grow your tax income to the goal without letting a meter go negative.

Controls
