"We've traveled through time and space to build on alien worlds, in ancient
civilizations, and in parallel universes—laying down roads, zoning land,
playing god, and cheating our way to success in a vain attempt to construct a
virtual utopia. And now, here, I'm going to take you on a whirlwind tour
through the history of the city-building genre—from its antecedents to the hot
new thing."

Good overview of the city building game genre.  I started with Hamurabi
myself, and own many of these games.

Share and enjoy,
