Tips:

     Do not make zones too far from roads and powerlines.
     Water is not nescessary, but if you want a dense population it is essential.
     Do not use solar or wind power plants as your main source of energy.
     When your population gets over 50,000 make highways.
     A highway is useless without an onramp.
     Always make connections to your neighbors.
     Arcologies bring in a lot of crime, and pollution.
     You only need a few fire stations if you put it on no disasters.
     Build lots of schools near residential areas to help keep crime down.
     Use some form of public transit like busses, subways, or railroads to keep pollution down.
     Once you have enough money lower taxes to help the population grow.
     Promotional ordinances help bring people to town.
     Once you have enough money buy a fusion power plant if they are invented.
     Your zoning should consist of 1/2 residential, 1/4 industrial and commercial.
     Read the newspapers regularly.
     In areas with high crime build lots of parks.
     Whenever one of the gifts become available build it, it's free and it helps the city.
     Build an airport to make even more sims move in your city.
     When zoning, use dense for more population but more pollution or light for less of both.
     To avoid airplane crashes do not put tall buildings near the airport.
     The best arco is the Darco.
 

 Phantom Water Pump

       The phantom water pump is a cheat that allows you two use just one water pump for your entire city. It doesn't actually water your city but it stops the sims from complaining about water shortages. To get a phantom water pump place one water pump that is:

    1.Not next to any buildings. Make sure that no buildings will be placed next to it by creating a de-zone area 3X3 tiles in size.     Place the pump in the center tile.
    2.Not connected to any under ground water-pipes.
    3.Powered

       The land value of a watered tile is worth almost twice as much as a tile that isn't watered. So when you use this cheat the land value in your city will only be
  worth half as much as if you hadn't used this cheat. Now you must ask yourself "does land value really matter?"
 

Magic Eraser

       There is an un-documented hidden feature in the trees/landscape tool which allows you to erase buildings but not there effects (like population and
  polution).To use the magic eraser:

    1.Select the tree-tool
    2.Start planting some trees
    3.Hold down the shift key while planting trees
    4.Erase stuff

  Erasing an Arcology will still yield the population of an arcology, but the arcology will be gone along with it's pollution and crime.

  Erasing half of a power-plant would cut it's pollution in half, but it would also cut it's power output in half.
