You don't have a negative demand on everything, which is good. You could build what is needed, so R$ and C$ in this case. Your growth will slow down but that isn't a real problem. I have a similar problem right now. I have a city (which has a population of 700.000 at the moment) with a low demand. I build slowly further in R$ and C$ (which still has the most demand). The thing you have to avoid is that the people will leave your city, this causes abandonment. Abandonment causes lower tax incomes. Since your city is build for a certain number of people it will cause that your costs stay the same while your income decreases. In a worst case scenario this will lead to a city which is completely broke. Since you want to avoid that ( I guess ) the solution is to keep building slowly low dense area's. This will cause in a population which stays the same. Your income stays the same this way. This will give you more time to work on another plan to improve your whole city. If your problem is an aging population (which is the case in my city) you will have to build schools, parks and everything which makes the city desirable for families. If the problem is commute time you will have to improve your public transport, roads, avenue's etcetera. Another explanation is that your people are looking for other jobs than you have available in your city. In this case it would be wise to get these jobs in a neighboring city (which has a high demand probably) and take care of a good connection between these cities. Important is that this neighboring city only has jobs, so that you sims would live in your city. As soon as your demand is high, you could always change the density of those low dense area's. Hi thanks for the tips.. But it seems i have figure things out like lower tax a bit (7%-8%) and build slowly and carefully. But it seems i have all negative demands now lol. But at least i have reached 1,7 million population without any demand mod (i only use NAM).

Okay.. I decided to put toll booths on my avenue connection.. Somehow it reduce traffic and makes people tend to use highway more. Now to the real problems, what do guys think I should to improve demands?

for me.. i have had success with this method. First create a small city, filled with Dirty Industry and Manufacturing Industry.. just keep filling em until the demand low. (shift back between cities) Second, create a new city connected to the first one. Fill it with mix of Residental and Commercial.. BUT, you MUST make the CO$$ and CO$$$ taxes to very high to keep them away from your city. Third, Create a new city, filled with high density buildings, Residental, Commercial and High-Tech Industry (be sure to keep Dirty and manufacturing away from this city by raising taxes). If your fill your first two cities with what i told you, i am pretty sure that you would get offfice and residental skyscrappers in your third city.. It's based on my experience, so maybe you would experience different output..

Yes, i have installed monorail on all of my cities.. i think they are awesome. My highways system are also extensive, i even make an Outer ring road for this city Now some question, should i make only 1 Connection per 1 Side of city? because currentlly i have around 3-5 per side for every city they connect to (1 Highways and the rest are avenues) but it makes my highways rarely used which is contrast to my purpose of building them, also makes the avenues full of traffic.

Thank you cogeo for the reply, -I'm not sure it hits the demand cap, because caps make ur demand Zero, not negative. -i put my taxes 7,5-9.0 % for almost all class (except dirty and manufacturing) -The education level in my city are 180 for the last 50 years.. -As you can see in the first picture i uploaded, my I-HT are all abandoned due to low demand lol -From what i see in the query tool, my road connection and highways are fine and i'm sure they are all accessible. -The traffic is quite good actually, only bad congestion on the avenue leading outside town. (should i bulldoze them? because my highways rarely gets used.. ) -I have played my 2 other lots.. and there isn't any significant improvement/

I know, but i have a hard time getting those big R$ tower into my current city (Salvation Tower, Project Bootstrap, Brown Hi-Rise etc. ), the R$$ and R$$$ always come to grow at the the lot i place.. So what is the best advice do you guys think? Make more Industry? How big do you think the industry to support my goal city (3-4 M population with 1,5-2 Commercial jobs / full skyscrapper city)? Please look at the picture, should i turn Bright Shade to be a Dirty/Manufacturing city? anymore suggestion? looking forward for the answer from the masters

Thanks for the replies! For the taxes, I've tried lowering them up to 5% and it doesn't help much. Right now the demand are so low that my old HT Buildings get abandoned. My demand for dirty and manufacturing industry are low because I set their tax higher a bit. My goal is to create this city to be a highly populated skyscrapper city (like Shanghai). Does zoning dirty and manufacturing industry outside my city will help the demand? Will that help? I have an extra question too, what is the best kind of rail transpot? Which is the best one? I currently use Rail, subway and monorail. How about elevated rail, is it good? Thankss guys

Hi guys, after playing for a while i had build a much better city in simcity 4. Now i have a problems, after my population reaching around 900k the demand seems to be so low making this city hardly grows anymore. Do you guys have any tips for my city? maybe i should build more dirty and manufacturing industry? -I use NAM.. no other mods -I have massive subway system and monorail (elevated rail coming) -The taxes are mostly unchanged -I Place lots of parks and plaza -this city connected to 6 city, which 2 of them are built (CS & Residental city and I-D & I-M city), 4 of them are just for power/water or empty Need help! want to make my city Reach 2-4M population wehehe Thank you
