Best Layouts for Beginners (Roads, Services, Zoning) – SimCity BuildIt Complete Guide

 In SimCity buildit beginners struggle with messed up and scattered zones which lead to failure of the city and  dissatisfaction of the citizens. On the other hand, a properly managed and well organised city led to satisfied citizens.

 Roads, services and zones are the three pillars of this game. Properly organised roads create ease for citizens to travel and zones decide where citizens should live.

Best Road Layout for Beginners

Don’t make zigzag roads ,which waste time. Instead, make one main road in the middle from left to right and other roads from top to bottom , don’t make important buildings with main roads , which can jam the traffic .

Best Zoning Layout for Beginners

 Zoning means placing the buildings and houses accordingly. The best way is to place the buildings in the narrow streets to avoid  traffic jams on the main road , keep space between the zones so you should make buildings in the future.keep residential areas near to service areas and far from pollution zones .

Best Service Layout (Fire, Police, Health)

Divide the services like fire , police and health areas  in the middle according to the number of houses so they should be cost effective.

Separating Residential, Industrial & Commercial Zones 

Place industrial areas on one side and residential areas on the other side of the map , you can make commercial areas near to residential areas .
Keep the water , sewage and power plants across tone road distance because water pumps make noise , sewage smells bad and power plants create smoke , but not too far which will increase money for service.

Best Layout Strategy for Expanding Your City

Beginners make mistakes by  expanding the city randomly ,adding buildings at empty places and not planning the roads. instead expand the city with the square zones having 4 main things: residential areas, parks ,service areas and roads. Always place roads first and houses later, keep empty places for future buildings.

Parks, Specializations & Their Placement

 Place parks between 4 to 6 residential zones, later ,add specializations like entertainment, education and transportation

CONCLUSION 

 Always keep a grid road system ,place industrial areas away from residential areas and service areas in the center of the city.
