Everything Upzoned looks like in motion and at rest: the gameplay video, and every screenshot from around the site.

GAMEPLAY VIDEO

UPZONED IN PLAY A run through the game: the tax-lot map, the upzoning tools, and the meters that decide whether anything gets built.

SCREENSHOTS

Upzoned in play: a 3D view of Lower Manhattan with the upzoning toolbar and the capital, support, opposition and value meters
THE MAP Lower Manhattan in 3D, with the upzoning toolbar and the capital, support, opposition and value meters.
The building ledger for 86-07 77 Avenue, built 1940: market rent, operating and maintenance, property tax, debt service and net cash flow per year.
THE BUILDING LEDGER Every building carries a pro forma. Pre-war systems eat cash — the deferred maintenance backlog is the real landlord.
Distributional coalitions panel: Homeowners United, Landmarks and Character League, Industrial Retention Coalition and others, each with an opposition score, a demand, and a price in project value.
THE COALITIONS Each coalition's case is computed from the surrounding lots — BldgClass, YearBuilt, ZoneDist. Even the pro-development ones extract rents.
City budget platform screen: sliders for real property tax, personal income tax, sales and use tax and business taxes, against real FY2027 adopted budget bases.
THE BUDGET PLATFORM $117.8B expense against $128.0B revenue, from the FY2027 Adopted Budget. Your platform becomes law only if the Council adopts it on June 5.
City Hall screen: the 51-seat City Council drawn as a hemicycle by faction, with citywide offices and borough presidents listed below.
CITY HALL Fifty-one seats, a majority at 26, and a clock on the next race. Every member has a district — and every district has its coalitions.
