In the begining.
Cambridge
This is the original layout of my city. All light residential with some light commercial where I assume will be the highest traffic area. On the far right of my city I have zoned a heavy industrial zone so that any pollution will stay away from my people (I'm a nice mayor
). There are 2 main transit routes for getting to and from work, the main road and a railway.

Year 3
After 3 years and no accidents so far the city is booming. There are 2500 residents. In the northwestern part of the city there are my power and water suppliers. I assume they are created by the same person/team because they match very well. They are amazing, thank you to who ever made them. I also have a few artificial trees in my industrial zone to help with the air pollution. I have modified them because I thought that 250 a month were way too much for the pollution reduction they did. I left the price, range and effect the same, but I dropped the monthly cost from 250 down to 25.

Year 6
This is my residential and commercial zones at year 6. I have added some more residential so the industrial zone would become more developed. I have also built 2 ferry terminals to help with transportation. The population has risen to 4500. Due to low education and higher city income the city council have decided to build an elementary school. After the construction of the elementary school the city council had a long discussion on what else the city needed. After the meeting they decided on a new police station. There were a few businesses' that were bought out to build the police station.


This is the developed industrial zone.

Year 8
There is now 6000 people living in Cambridge.
OH NO!!! The city’s first fire and there is no fire station! Workers from other factories around grab buckets and start working to put out the fire.

Due to the fire, the city council hired contractors to build a new fire station!

Since there were unexpected costs associated with the fire station that caused the city treasury to finish off negative at the end of the month. Once again city council had another long meeting to figure out a way to boost the city’s income. There were some ideas suggested, like raising tax or bringing in an outside contract. But in the end the city decided to zone some medium density residential and low density commercial zone. It would bring more people to the city and more businesses.

Year 10
After 10 years the city’s population has risen to 9000 and the money is coming in strong and the people are happy.

Year 15
Over the next 5 years higher wealth sims have moved in and the citys population rose to 11,000. The sims have been complaining about heath issues and have been blaming the pollution on there illness. The council has looked at the budget and decided to make some city improvments. They have built a new hospital, a couple more artifial trees and a water purifying system. There has been zoned a new industrial area and some commercial.
