Looks like Electronic Arts really do get the new approach they promised. SimCity Societies is a new title in the well-known SimCity franchise. But there are few important differences from the previous Sim City games: it's not beeing developed by Maxis, instead Electronic Arts choose Tilted Mill Entertainment (creators of Caesar IV or Children of the Nile). Moreover, the new SimCity Societies looks more like the excellent City Life. There's no zoning anymore, you construct directly the building you want to have in your city. Each of the building emits a "social" energy like obedience, happiness, creativity and by these energies to these you can design all your city.
Very interesting approach to the new SimCity title, though I think it's just a spin-off and sooner or later there'll be the "classic" SimCity 5. Or something like that.
