The primary source of income is taxation, though some income can also be generated by legalizing gambling or placing certain "special" buildings such as military bases or federal prisons. Inadequate funding of these services can lead to strikes, or even urban decline. These are provided by building relevant buildings or infrastructure, with each building covering a circular "range" in its vicinity. Proper management of the city requires citizens to be provided with basic utilities ( electricity, water and sometimes waste management) along with public services such as health, education, safety, parks and leisure facilities. As the city matures, the player may be able to add government and other special buildings (such as a mayor's house or courthouse), depending on how large the city is.
