What Would a Well-Managed Pre-Industrial City Look Like? Check Out This Flythrough of Ancient Rome
King's Landing in "Game of Thrones" had nothing on this place
The New Historia YouTube channel edited together an animated flythrough of ancient Rome, and it's stunning. It gives you a look at what a well-managed, pre-industrial urban environment would look like: Orderly public spaces, no vehicle pollution, no factory smokestacks belching smoke, no buildings blocking the sun, no billboards, no advertisements, no electricity.
Here's the video:

What's amusing is the provenance of the footage--it was apparently extracted from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series of videogames. So it is accurate? I have no idea; while the company famously consulted with Egyptologists to recreate Egypt for their Assassin's Creed: Origins game, I couldn't find any mention of them working with historians on Rome. But I'd like to believe it looked like this.

So clean!
Haha! I think you're right :) I was thinking that it looked a lot like Assasins Creed. And looking at the comments on Youtube it seems like it is. So yeah, the title of the video is misleading... But cool video non the less. :)
But in any case its a breathtaking video. ;)
The collosseum in Rome has a higher top level. It looks more like Alexandria .... see the lighthouse? The city also seems to be located next to the sea.
