Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
It turns the dry mechanics of zoning, hearings and appeals into a game, which makes it a surprisingly good teaching tool for anyone who has wondered why housing takes so long to build.
Permit Pending is a free browser city simulation in which every apartment block, bus lane and factory has to survive public hearings, objections, lawsuits and a seven-seat council vote. You negotiate concessions, watch heatmaps and a local paper for voter anger, and stand for reelection every four years. Four scenarios run from a 200-person blank slate to a 300,000-person unaffordable metropolis, plus an open sandbox. No account, saves stay local, and it works offline after the first visit.
