Inadequate funding of these services can lead to strikes.Ĭities must also provide basic utilities, namely electricity, water and (in SimCity 3000 and SimCity 4) waste management. These come in the form of different buildings, where each building covers a circular 'range' of service. The player must supply the citizens services, which include health, education, safety, parks and leisure.
As the city matures, the player may get to place government and other special buildings (such as a mayor's house or courthouse), depending on how large the city is. The player (acting as mayor) is given a blank map to begin and must expand the city with the budget provided.
