You'll have to go with CitiesXL. It's a bit different, but I think I prefer it. Plus, it's recent.
Yep, I came in here to suggest that. Haven't played it myself, but I was still surprised I wasn't seeing any mentions. Then I got to the last post XD
There's also the Tropico games. I haven't played those either (frankly I lost track of the city builder genre when it slipped from being relatively mainstream to being a tiny niche.
Caesar 2 and the original
Sim City are still my favorites), but they're at least in the right ball park.
