Civilization VI's unstacked cities explained in a new promo video

Civilization VI is going to feature modernized city building mechanics. A new commentary video explains these innovations.

A new Civilization VI promo video explains the modernized system of city building. A city will still have a home tile but now you will be able to expand it by raising districts surrounding the center. Each one will be specialized for different tasks, such as research, growth, culture, or production. There will be many different types of districts, some unique to specific civilizations. Choosing the right neighborhood for a district will grant it special adjacency bonuses – these may be specific types of terrains or Wonders. Moreover, by attacking certain part of a city you may first cripple it before launching an assault on the center. Learn more from the video:
