When starting a new city in Cities Skylines 2, zoning is one of the first things you'll have to manage in order to bring in residents, businesses and industries to your city. There are many different types of zones, each of which serves a unique function and building type, but how do they each work with each other? In this easy-to-follow guide, we'll briefly discuss each zoning type and how they should be placed and what their use is. For Residential, we have six types of zones, Commerical and office two each, and we have one type of Zoned Industry.
This is the definitive deep dive into each zoning type in Cities Skylines 2 and how to properly use them and how they are created. Using this complete guide to Zoning in Cities Skylines 2, you can better understand when and where to create zones as well as how to generate more demand for medium and high density zones so that you aren't stuck with simply low density demand the entire time.

There is one primary concern that I don't see people talk about enough which is the rent, if you build large structures for each category you'll have a high rent issue and to ease that you would need to make smaller buildings for example 2x2 or 3x2/3x3. I was struggling with it a lot so I hope it helps some of you

Great tip! Makes a big difference in low density especially

@CrossriderBankai23 8 месяцев назад

Tip: in the beginning, zone small lots, so the first cims to come don't have to pay too much for rent since it's the size that's making it problematic, make centered cities, put the commercials on the center of a district, and not around a lot of blocks, so you can surround them with houses, you can do 2x2 to distant blocks of houses, and the more it gets closer to the center or service buildings like school, you can increase the lots sizes, and medium residential that are willing to buy to live close to their schools, and when you get more density make it on the center close to office buildings, schools, parks and other important utilities, this is where people capable of buying bigger lots will prefer to live, so they to avoid zoning low density houses on theses areas, the value of the land gets expensive and they don't like it.... You can do 2x2, 3x2, 4x2, 5x3 and mixing the sizes for a organic looking city 😉

@marcoa.2585 8 месяцев назад

Rowhouses have an ugly side wall. Instead of having a naked wall toward the side road, I use mix-used as a cap, as they look nice toward two sides. Then I have a lovely closed facade around one block. I like these houses with a depth of two.

@CitiesByDiana 8 месяцев назад

Ohhh that's a neat idea I might try that sometime

@DevynCairns 8 месяцев назад

Yes mixed use or medium density. Also use them mid-block for some variety. They don't require huge lots and even 2x2 is big enough

@mathewperring 8 месяцев назад

My number 1 lesson I have learned if your goal is to grow a city (rather than focusing on the looks) is rezone. As the cities population grows. Rezone the central areas and do it progressively out so that low density is replaced by row housing and then medium density ect and then add a new layer of low density on the edge of town that will with time itself be upgauged.

@Cmbgo98 8 месяцев назад

Upgrading is so important in this game! I want to scream it from the rooftops when people say they only have low density demand. In this game as buildings level up they increase lane values and suitability for higher density. Both are calculated separately so if you constantly zone low density and have built for sprawl with massive freeways the game will almost never give you suitable areas for higher density development. Much like in real life you can of course purposefully develop areas for low density with sprawling suburbs but intraurban areas eventually will generally have to be upgraded. Also offices. Offices. OFFICES. If you want more density you need to attract well educated cims which typically are employed in greater numbers at offices. Medium density extra-urban towns can generally be employed in industrial areas, but cities NEED offices

@AthenaPrime 8 месяцев назад

I've figured out that if you have low density demand, only fulfill about thirty percent of it. Go harder on medium density. Until I had a college (and enough people who graduated high school), I couldn't attract enough wealthy and educated citizens to fill all the low density demand if I'd built it all the way down. When I focused on medium density--row houses and *small* MD apartment buildings, I had much more stable neighborhoods, way fewer abandoned properties, and fewer complaints about The Rent being Too Damn High (at least from residential. Now my Industrials are revolting over high rents, which I have yet to really dig into).

@2wheelsalyssa 8 месяцев назад

Pro tip, you don't need low density housing AT ALL, not even to start, just grid out the city you want to build and by the time you're done, you'll be on milestone 3 and can build row housing and medium density without the need for a suburbian hellscape. Demand meter will stay there forever but it doesn't matter. I made a 112x88 grid of low density just to see if it would have an impact, and it absolutely did not.

@ThorinWolf 8 месяцев назад

Hey, just some info from Codiak that might of interest to you - if you zone only non-low density residential and the such, eventually people will move in. A lack of low density for a while creates demand for medium density, and a lack of medium density creates demand for high density. They'd like a detached home, but don't *need* a detached home. The bar is a demand meter, not a "you can build this" meter.

American here. I quit paying attention after “single family homes”. Those are the only zone I know how to zone, and the only zone I will ever zone.

@kai45654 8 месяцев назад

The biggest thing I realized about demand is you can (at least right now) ignore Industry. At first I just kept building more and more trying to keep up with demand, until I reached like a 1:1 residential, industry ratio and then I stared a new city and only build 2 grid tiles of Industry. Now most of my cims work in commercial and offices, the city is growing with low unemployment and it looks far more realistic.

click on the city icon next to the demand meter it shows clearly what impacts demand. Plus never build building next to roads that will need to be upgraded later in simulation as those buildings will level up and you will need to demolish, and start all over again from lvl 1 to 5... so when doing city center immediatly lay down min4 lane road or 6 lane roads, never do 2 lane roads for centers as traffic problems are huge later.

@unclemikeyplays 8 месяцев назад

I feel like they don't do quite enough to make clear that fulfilling Commercial demand, in particular, behaves differently from fulfilling Residential. I don't think it's a bug that it behaves differently, but I don't think the game is good about guiding you to what you really need to know about it, either. Good guide, tho', Diana, as always!

It's complicated, just like in the first game I think the overall goal isn't to totally empty the demand meters too quickly, merely to use them as a guide while building what you want and need. Especially for low density residential it seems like you can kinda ignore it because it's never gonna go away.

@mdhazeldine 8 месяцев назад

My take on it is that if the demand is zero, don't build any of that thing, but if the demand is high, you don't HAVE to obey it.

@yondertwitch 8 месяцев назад

As always, great guide. Wonderful, concise, and very accessible. I do have one question tho. You touch upon lot sizes throughout the video. Do you have (or know where I can find) a chart that shows all of the applicable lot sizes of each type? This is the information I was able to glean from your words and what I saw you doing: Residential: Low: 2x2 to 6x6 Med Rows: 1-wide Med Apartments : 2x2 to 6x6 Everything else: Non-specified. Mixed Use SEEMS to have a wider range than others (excluding Industrial of course) You *DID* specify that "2x2 to 6x6" was fairly standard but the first time I watched, it seemed that some things were being zones outside those ranges. I went back and was unable to find anything that was bigger than 6x6. You have gorgeous cities and I believe one of the differences is that I'm nowhere near as intentional as you with my zoning, so I really appreciate this guide, and I'm just curious if the information is available as to the ranges of lot sizes. Like... does Low Density Residential have a 2x5 building? Row Houses are 1 wide, but how deep can they be? Stuff like that. Again, thank you for your amazing guide!

@mdhazeldine 8 месяцев назад

Make sure you have a good education system. Start with elementary schools, and as the cims graduate, add a high school, then as eligibility for College increases, add a college, and then a university. Also, I had my taxes set quite high at the beginning (22%) to try and get my budget to balance, but I decided to try lowering residential and commercial taxes down to 17% and then I found that demand for medium/high density improved, and of course, with more density, I got more tax income anyway, without much increased infrastructure cost, because I just up-zoned existing areas. So, the budget stayed balanced.

@ExentenzedGames 8 месяцев назад

One important thing is to always look at the RICO overview. Its the little "city" icon next to the RICO demand meters. It will give you an overview over why there is or isn't a high demand. Keep in mind it will only show why and not how severe the effect of it is. But you can check that other ways. Like for example, If you check a couple of your low density houses, you can mouse over the happiness of its residents in that housings screen and see its attractiveness in plus and minuses. Now go and compare that to your high density ones. If you want to maximize high-density demand, you have to make it more attractive than low-density. Also keep in mind that in addition to the attractiveness comes preferences from education and age group. Watching the dev-diary about this also gives you a run down about that from high-low priority. For me it was simply the fact that high-density housing has a "Small homes" negative. (Low-Rent housing more so than regular high density) Which made it so that all my low density housing was way more attractive. Which in turn made it so that all my LOW-density housing ended up getting filled up first, removing the "- Unoccupied buildings" from the low-density in the RICO overview, whilst it still had "+ Happiness and + Taxes", Keeping its demand high. In contrast, my High-density only had "+ Taxes" but "- Unoccupied buildings" and those buildings happiness low compared to low-density, due to them having equal access to services. And thus the - from small homes made its demand drop. So i provided parks, healthcare, education and more to make the areas i had zoned for high density super attractive. After i had done that my demand sky rocketed for high-density.

@molybdane7240 8 месяцев назад

I'm pretty certain that demand for medium and high density residential is not induced by education but by housing prices. When you make an appealing city in which people like to live, the demand for housing goes up first. If that demand (for low density housing) isn't met for a while, housing prices go up. Then, demand for medium density and higher follows. The disadvantage of this is a relatively higher rent and thus, slower leveling of residential population. I have no direct proof of this, but my education was lagging for a while and I expanded slowly. Then I got demand for medium density, and very soon at that (sub 1000 population).

@An_Economist_Plays 8 месяцев назад

Now we got the commercial, what do we do with "not enough customers?" 🙂

@ParallelLogic 8 месяцев назад

I think the only way to get more high density demand is when your existing housing nears full capacity. So if you grow and grow low density housing, it specifically gluts the market with available homes and you won't get high density demand. You have to stop growing residential until citizens have time to move in and push up housing demand (ie, ignore the demand bar for low/medium density if your goal is to build skyscrapers)

@magicalnoodles 8 месяцев назад

I've recently come to a realization, and maybe it could help you guys too. The zoning demand reflects purely the current state of your population. Normally, that means that LDR will be preferred (if you don't focus on improving services, taxes and education) To actually get MDR and HDR demand, do these things: - increase taxes for LDR - improve land value where you want HDR - have good education and services coverage in the area Doing all this should work in most cases. Please do let me know if you have a more reliable method

@XMYeks 8 месяцев назад

the issue is taxing is only for education level not density

@DevynCairns 8 месяцев назад

I have consistently high MDR and HDR demand and for me it seemed to mostly come down to making sure education is high, public transit is top notch, and commercial and leisure are within walking distance. I have very little private automobile traffic in my city because public transit is so accessible

Then, I finally started expanding and the city never gets any new citizens. Tried adding outside connections, airports/seaports, kept building industry/office/commercials, added parks and transit, built colleges and education everywhere, lowered taxes, increased taxes, did everything I could think of. And all I have to show for it is almost every non-residential building complaining about a lack of workers, everything is a low-density suburb, and nobody is moving in. I also have a few "high rent" complaints yet I have thousands of zoned squares (all well-connected with transit, near education/jobs, etc.) that nothing is being built on. IDK what to do, but this game isn't fun anymore and it sucks.

Yeahhhh I'm starting to have that problem in my current city, I think it's a glitch

@@CitiesByDiana Glad to know I'm not the only one! I also noticed the simulation begins to crawl basically in slow-motion after about 50k pop haha maybe that's part of the issue

I'm still curious how zoning demand works. Is demand fulfilled by drawing the zone, or when the building is actually built, or when people actually move in?

@cloudburstrc1633 8 месяцев назад

if you use text leave it a bit longer up. i constant have to pause it to read it. and even then is to short up sometimes to even pause the complete text before it dissapear.

I'm struggling with commercial whining. I have a very small town still, maybe level 3. But they keep asking for more commercial. Almost a quarter of my zoning is commercial already, realistically it should be a 20th or something like that.

My low density housing completely disappeared. I dont know if it bugged or if I did something to make home owners either leave or jump into a skyscraper, but I have ZERO demand and a have almost NO low density homes left LOL

So the quintessential european 5 storey-high buildings are not really included. Got it. Thanks colossal...

@DevynCairns 8 месяцев назад

They actually are, you just have to zone smaller lots. If you do small parcels of medium density EU residential you will get buildings of roughly that size

@IMakeStuff92 8 месяцев назад

Row houses should be considered low density. 6 families vs avg 45 is quite a difference.

@CitiesByDiana 8 месяцев назад

Yeah agreed, but for some reason they use medium density demand...

@AG7-MTM 3 месяца назад

I'm surprised mixed use zoning does not have its own demand, neither low rent zoning. Any theories on why this is the case?

@CitiesByDiana 2 месяца назад

Honestly, not sure, it feels like it is just an oversight....or they just lump everything together for some reason

@ulruc 8 месяцев назад

The main problem with the bars is that it is not NEED but DEMAND. It is not because the citizens wants something that your city needs it. Also, it means that if you want to force your density up, you will be stuck forever with Low Residential demand. Too bad we can't fix taxes by tier instead of education. I mean, I would lower the taxes for each appartment in high density and increase them for owners of Low density houses that spawl and take so much space...

@DevynCairns 8 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if it's a property tax or income tax or both. In real life we have both and property taxes are less for higher density because the proportional share of the land value is lower, even though the land value itself is higher. It doesn't actually require a separate tax bracket at all because it's based on what share of the land value you're paying for

@ulruc 8 месяцев назад

@@DevynCairns True. But in the game right now, if you say 15% for residential, it is for all types of residences. Sure, you can target people with less or more education, which in turn targets a bit more some types of residences as they each have their preferences but it is just weird.

@DevynCairns 8 месяцев назад

@@ulruc Tbh I think it should just be sorted out as a land value tax with no brackets, plus an income tax based on wealth (which is already an attribute in the game) It's not realistic to tax different density different rates. I know that's what CS1 did but I do think it can be done better. But education level doesn't really make sense

@Respen999 8 месяцев назад

I have a question about the industrial zone. You said they would use our resources if they needed them, but it's not working right now. Apparently there is a problem with the economy. You know something about it?

@CitiesByDiana 8 месяцев назад

Yep there's a bug some folks experience where resources are just imported instead of used by specialized industry, I'm not sure if it's been fixed or not yet but I do know it's something that the devs are working on. When I played with specialized industry I did notice that they did end up processing the goods into material goods but I think if you have none it's still imported so the economy is....weird.
