I think it would be very cool to link 16 cities together and watch the people moving from city to city based on different design philosophies.
Maybe you concentrate too much on pretty parks and open spaces and your employment goes to crap, but your buddy builds a huge pollution generating industrial manaufacturing based city, but his crime is high and another buddy focuses on city safety but you have to drive everywhere, and yet another buddy builds a city with a very cool mass transit city.
Maybe you should be able to pay for another city to advertise the advantages of moving to your town.
"Come to scumville free hookers and blow for all"
being able to build multiplayer has some great possibilities, maybe you overbuild reactors or water pumps so you can sell your excess to another city, or maybe another city is willing to take your trash.
Maybe you focus on sports stadiums and bars and become the first city in your "country" to attract a NHL or NFL team.
Or maybe you subvertly encourage a riot in your neighbours city so that people will move to your version of Vegas.
