The next step: Breaking the 10,000 barrier

[ZZS]

Hi all.
I'm relatively new to the game (i've been playing for a few months) and I'm really enjoying it. I've made about 5 cities that have got to a population of about 10,000 but then I seem to get stuck there. I find it hard to grow beyond that.

Has anyone got any tips on road layout, service placement (particularly garbage), etc to help my cities grow?

Thanks all

What exactly do you mean, when you say "I find it hard to grow beyond that" ?
Give us more details on the problems you experience at the 10,000 population level, so we can better answer your question(s).

Lots of possibilities. it depends on your city's conditions. for example, just as a hint, if you have garbage problem make 2 incineration building beside each landfill. That's because every landfill's capacity is twice the cap of incineration building. It really helps.

Do you have any update on your cities? Did you break your 10,000 barrier?
