Yea it's similar, but in sim city you mostly provide infrastructure while in Anno you have to provide for the various goods the population demands aswell. The more demands you can satisfy the more taxes you receive and the higher the status of your population will become, which unlocks new buildings, units and new goods.
Unlike Sim City there also is the possibility to wage war with other civilizations, but that is very very costly so it's mostly an endgame feature, especially beccause the more goods you need the more islands on the map you need to produce/mine them, which ofcourse leads to conflict with the AI players (afaik 2070 has an online/multiplayer mode, but a single game could easily reach 30-50h in the predecessor 1404, so you would need some good friends to play it in that mode).
I would say Anno is a more complex game than Sim City, but also a bit more rewarding one.
