Amenities

Amenities are city services that improve various aspects of your city. Placing these give bonuses (e.g. education) or reduce penalties (e.g. pollution). Each amenity has a construction cost and a maintenance cost. Costs are influenced by Density, land slope, inflation, and deconstruction of existing structures.

## Effects

The benefits of each amenity are determined by effects. Effects are calculated using points, so a single building can contribute multiple points to the same effect. Additionally, a building can have more than one effect.

When placing an amenity with any Local Effects the radius of affect will be shown. The impacts of the amenity can extend slightly beyond this radius, as heatmap changes bleed outward from their source.

### Local

These effects apply to the area around the amenity.

* **Pollution**
* **Crime**
* **Education:** Institutions like schools and colleges will educate nearby citizens.
* **Prosperity**
* **Value**
* **Density**
* **Law:** Reduces Crime nearby.
* **Community**: Reduces Crime and raises Value.
* **Nature:** Reduces Pollution nearby.

### Global

These effects apply to the entire map, regardless of where the building is placed.

* **Education:** Each Education point provides +1000 max citizens that can have a HS Diploma, +500 that can have a bachelor’s, and +100 that can have a doctorate.
* **Technology:** Effect of Education is increased by 1%.
* **Environmentalism:** Reduces pollution globally by 1%.
* **Order:** Police are 1% more effective.
* **Health:** Reduces crime globally by 1%.
* **Business:** 5% less unemployment (meaning, 20% unemployment goes to 19%).
* **Prestige:** Increases maximum Residential Density by 0.1 Density tier. The maximum Residential Density starts at 4, so 60 Prestige points are needed for Density 10 highrises.

### Unimplemented

* **Tourism:** Will increase the number of visitors from neighboring cities and airports.
