Service buildings

All Citys need service buildings to provide services and transportation to its citizens and business. These public institutions are distinct from the "private" buildings which spontaneously grow in zones. As the city grows past the different milestones, more services and their buildings will be unlocked. Residents will usually start demanding these services shortly after they are unlocked.

Different service buildings provide their services in different ways. For example, water and power buildings must connect up to supply grids to be effective whereas seaports and airports must connect both to your city's internal transport system and to an external route. Many operate by sending out service vehicles (police cars, fire engines etc.) onto your city's roads to deliver their service. Several passively provide a happiness bonus to nearby areas and almost all service buildings require road access.

All buildings have a maintenance cost which is a function of the relevant service's current budget. This, and other statistics relating to a building's function can be viewed on its info window. A building can be switched off via this info window, eliminating the maintenance cost but also halting the service provision and any happiness bonus.

Most service buildings employ citizens, however, unlike the info windows of zoned buildings which employ people, details of these jobs are hidden and cannot be seen in the unmodded game. Buildings will never complain about the supply or education level of workers, and can actually function with zero workers if needs be.

Relocation

Service buildings can be relocated via an option in their info windows. This is expensive, but is always cheaper than demolishing the building and building a new instance.

Cemeteries, snow dumps and landfill sites cannot be relocated (or demolished) unless they are empty.

List of service buildings

This list does not include the numerous Parks and Plazas and unique buildings. For details of these, please see the appropriate article. Some Monuments are also unique service buildings and are therefore included in the tables where applicable for comparison purposes only.
