I think it would be a useful thing if the city could be viewed as a 2D view, ie birdseye view. Still with the ability to build/move/sell/collect etc. Because of the current 3D nature of cityview, oftentimes it can be difficult to see things hiding behind others, even if things in front become transparent, also sometimes it can be awkward to select things like roads for example.
So requirements would be to view city from directly above, and addition of 2D images/icons for the buildings and roads and stuff. There would be no requirement for any animation, and they could be fairly small - the 2D cityview could be zoomable. This could be done as a mode switch of the whole cityview between 3D and 2D (probably easier), or by opening a dialogue to display the map (it would be harder if you wanted the 3D cityview behind the dialogue to repeat what was being done in the 2D cityview dialogue - but cool )
Just as a quickie, it would be nice to have a further level of zoom out, since cities can get rather large
