Selecting a tile that belongs to you will highlight some important stats like resources and its connections to other tiles. Prioritize tiles that have resources you need and those that give you access to new transport routes. As your city grows and hits milestones, you’ll need more space for new residential, commercial, and industrial zones. Selecting tiles to purchase turns them green. You can purchase a set number of tiles and this limit increases as you hit milestones. Note that this costs money so don’t bite off more land than you can develop at a certain point.

This gives players an unparalleled degree of freedom when it comes to designing their cities. Selecting tiles far away from your city can let you build secondary settlements to supplement your primary city with useful resources.
