At least with places like Denver and other western cities it’s pretty straightforward how it happened - everything built along the river. Access to the river was key.
Being a boom/bust city means that a much later boom they adjusted.
Then even older cities (think Boston) grew before any opportunity at planning could happen.

This is the part in Sim City where I restart.

Sim City 4 is the best version of the Sim City games, and is 75% off on GOG right now, $5 / £4.
Cities Skylines 1 is the best modern city builder, 3D and a lot of fun plus well designed. But only really worth it when it’s on sale; lots of DLC and overpriced as a package when not on sale. Avoid Cities Skylines 2 - it’s just not fun and hasn’t been fixed - maybe they will one day fix but I doubt it 2.5 years in..

Imagine what Cities Skylines could have been without Paradox’s super monetization plan

Cities and Skylines isn’t too far off from that sim city 2000 vibe, if you need a fix

The GoG version of SimCity 2000 runs fine in wine. The originals, not so much.
