I wish for a planet that would contain cities = class
If the first wish came true, I would wish that in each of those cities you can assign every hex what kind of buildings you want to grow in there like a plant or like a landlord wanting other people to make a successful business in that location.
IF the second wish came true I would like buildings to grow from small mini buildings to massive sky scrapers when enough time and land is given to them. maybe a scale from level 1 to level X buildings when technology grows. You can make this growth system revolutionary in a small given space by making buildings take up more then one tile and look significantly higher then any other colony model to date. THIS WOULD BE AMAZING IN 3D VISUALS.

If the third wish came true, then congratulations, add whatever other players wants to these colonies and you got an EPIC system where players would actually care how their cities are doing.
***EDIT***
You totally got to check out a model I have to show you, using sketup I made a visual of what the 3D model would look like if all of the above came true...

It match's the galactic civilizations city in GCII, it would make so much more sense if your industries, research centers, wonders etc. goes in the city, not the city to be a insignificant building in the mix
Best part is, all you got to do is tell the game where you want your buildings and it will grow up like a plant. This is a plant-it after all. (pun intended)

I am going to have to run a simulation or have a 2D representation of how this system works... besides this might be a little too much for the community to comprehend. Also Color coding would help.
Allow me to explain the buildings through color coding.
Orange = Social + Military production
Green = Housing (Max population)
Light Blue = Businesses (increase cities profit)
Dark Blue = Research sectors
Yellow = influence and entertainment buildings
Red = Planetary defense buildings
Purple = Star dock
Amazing what free software can do, you got to thank Google for the scriptures.
