Before you start zoning, take a moment to ask yourself a few basic questions pertaining to your city’s infrastructure.
Where will your city get power and water? How will you dispose of sewage and garbage? As mayor, you need to address these issues soon after connecting your city to the regional highway. And since most utilities lower land value and spread pollution, it’s a good idea to establish your utility infrastructure before you set aside land for houses, shops, and factories.
In this chapter we take an in-depth look at power, water, sewage, and waste disposal, explaining how each system works, as well as detailing the differences between the various buildings and their associated modules.
