The problem might be your graphics or your processor. There may be lag, or you don't have good graphics. SimCity 4 is pretty old, but I don't think that's the problem.

Thank you for replying. I don't think the processor or my graphics are the issue, as the computer that I use has been the same when I run SimCity 4 - both a few months ago when there was no issue, and when the issue began cropping up.
I have, however, figured that it might be something to do with my monitor and the colour setting it uses. A few other old games that I got - Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, Gabriel Knight 3, are examples - gave me the same issues when I tried playing them recently. Finding an answer over the internet was hard, but... anyone facing this issue could try one of the following which I discovered can help:
- Try playing the game(s) that causes the issue in Windowed Mode.
- If the above doesn't work, go to the Display Settings on the computer, look up those for your monitor, and reduce the colour setting down.
No 2 works for me for this issue mainly - I have colour set to 32 bit with my monitor, but found that by reducing it to 16 bit, games that cause the displacement now display properly without issue or any further displacement, and can have their resolution changed as well.
