    I have a relatively small downtown with only a few mid-rise commercial buildings. The demand for commercial developement is high, but I have no more room in the downtown area beacuse it is all bordered by residential zoning.

    My question is, should I placing commercial zonning away from the downtown? If I do, I will be creating more jobs and may be able to get more high-rises. But most of the time, the ones placed out of the downtown area are abandoned due to low demand. But if I don't zone, will they have to build up and improve my skyline?

    My main goal is to have skyscrapers, so which way should I go?

    Well you could demolish some of the residential areas to make room, just zone more res further out, "suburbanizing" the area.

    another option is to make a second commercal area but make sure its close enuogh to you R zones.

    I know this sounds a bit drastic, but if you demolished all the commercial in your city then the demand would rocket, in that case more skyscrapers are likely to form

    Good Luck!
