Panel of advisors in SimCity 4.
Advisors are people in SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4 that helps the player have a better understanding of their city, and provide tips and tricks to solve problems that may arise in their city. The individual advisors usually focus a particular department, such as safety, finance, zoning transportation, amongst others.
If the game settings allow it, during an urgent crisis, the advisors will notify through a pop-up dialog box, which will provide a link to direct to the scene of emergency. Note that this feature is turned on by default, but can be turned off in the settings panel.

Wren Insurance is a growable-Stage 7 High Wealth Commercial Office (CO §§§) building that appeared in SimCity 4. This building has a striking resemblance to the Shell Building, an Art Deco skyscraper built in 1929 located in San Francisco, CA. Similarity to Quigley Insurance from SimCity 3000 owes to the Shell Building, whose architects were inspired by Saarinen's Tribune Tower competition entry of a few years prior.
