Zoning

As with any city-builder, zoning is a very important feature and I'm happy to say that Uber Urban will offer a detailed and comprehensive set of zoning options.

Currently implemented zoning types:
  1. Low Density Residential
  2. Medium Density Residential
  3. High Density Residential
  4. Commercial
  5. Low Density Mixed Use
  6. High Density Mixed Use
  7. Industry (Factory's & Farms)
  8. Office


[h3]Low Density Residential:[/h3]
Low Density Residential will be made up of small, single family homes. It will be cheap to build but will house relatively few people.

[h3]Medium Density Residential:[/h3]
Medium Density Residential will be made up of townhouses / rowhouses and will be more dense with each home being able to house more people. Zoning will cost more and each house will use more services, but they will also produce greater tax revenue.

[h3]High Density Residential:[/h3]
High Density Residential is the most expensive and the most dense of all residential zoning options. High density residential will be made up of skyscrapers that will hold immense amounts of people, and will cost a lot to zone. Service usage (i.e water, power, fire, police, etc.) will be high, and tax revenue will be as well.

[h3]Commercial:[/h3]
Commercial is crucial to developing a proper supply chain and commercial zoning is a versatile zoning option that will develop as you unlock new buildings and resources. It is one of the main ways citizens are employed and one of the main tax revenue streams.

[h3]Low & High Density Mixed Use:[/h3]
Mixed use building offer commercial and residential in one. They contain a shop at the bottom of the building along with apartment's on top. They are in-between medium and high density residential and while somewhat expensive to zone, offer a great amount of tax revenue.

[h3]Office & Industrial:[/h3]
Office and industrial zones both work together to produce goods which are used to supply commercial buildings along with fulfilling trade routes. Office and industrial zones typically are what employ the most citizens and are another major tax income stream. In future posts, more will be discussed about the economy, trade, and how office and industrial zones work.
