My cityrich.jpg submission to the IRTC for Imaginary Places has a random
block generator.  You create the buildings you want placed in blocks and
then layout the blocks.

I use the same code to place people on the streets, boats in the water,
trees along the bank, and the tents in the marketplace.

It uses a "sparse" factor that allows you to adjust how dense the buildings
get laid out on a particular block.

See other cities I've generated with this technique by following the links
on the city gallery page:
