This is µCity Advance (also spelled 'uCity', pronounced 'micro-city'), the open-source city-building game for Game Boy Advance. This is a remake of the original µCity for Game Boy Color.
This game is completely free. Just download the ROM, install a Game Boy Advance emulator, and play! The last release of the game should be here:
https://github.com/AntonioND/ucity-advance/releases
You can also play on real hardware. Even though the game has been developed using mainly emulators, it has been verified to work on hardware.

There is a short manual with instructions for the player here.

Note that, because of using UGBA, it is possible to build this game natively for PC as well.
