Just build more zones. It might do the trick.

Build another neighboer city! It'll take more people, and increase demand.

This is where the transit system should be improved, maybe lose a street for a GLR tramway or something?

If you have a lot of high density residential, pick a nice block and remove the zoning.  The zone the area for low density.  This will attract more R§ and R§§, hopefully.  If there is a school nearby, demolish it.

I have the same problem with a city of nearly 700,000. plenty of room, plenty of demand, but no growth. I'd suggest what N_O_Body says to do

As said above, if you do not have a public transport system in your city, it is going to suffer with clogged roads and long commute times resulting in abandoned or reduced state of wealth buildings. (For example, a building which is rated only

If you want a population boost, you should start building on new city tiles. Make some connections to them with highways, monorail, rail. That alone will give you some demand. Did you place the major league stadium? It gives a pop boost of 75.000 i guess. Also placing tennis courts gives you a population boost.

The key to have a big population is region play....
