I think thats where i was going wrong, i was building all the services and it was costing me a bomb

Ive got a well established city now earning 3 times more than im paying out each month.

Thanks for the tips.

My tip is choose 4 neighbouring maps and target each at a type, one residential, one industrial, one commercial and one for coal power stations.

By keeping your power on a separate map you won't get pollution in your residential areas etc.

Then build freeways and power and water lines between all of them and trade the services each other need. Now that is city management.

PS you need a few houses in each map though to get the ball rolling.

What a genius idea! I never thought about neighbouring my cities! ill try that tonight
