They give you so many different ways to see the overviews of what is happening in your city that it's almost difficult to remember what is where. There are toolbars on 3 sides of the screen. The left side is your construction bar. You'll find all the tools to build your city there. They're not all open to begin with, though.

I like how they put "Build Huge Cities" in there. From what I see in Simcity. Cities are so small.
