Have enough room but still needs more for high density?

Have enough room but still needs more for high density? - Beige Sofa Chair Near A Table

So I was zoning my city, doing some experiences and then after I planned the layout of the roads to get the maximum number of High Density buildings back-to-back, I was very happy with the result and started buying the roads and zoning all over the place.

But then, after a while, buildings wanted to upgrade their density so they did it, but noticed that a row of houses didn't increase. Moused over the houses and they said: "Not enough room to increase density"

I checked the size that the houses needed and the little rectangule is green, and green = good to go? (See picture below) enter image description here

The road of the houses is the best quality, and I dezoned that area just for demonstration. And I don't want houses or anything else in the main avenue.

So.. how is the game not upgrading the houses? Seems like everything (or not, for some reason) is perfect for the grow...



Best Answer

The little rectangle will be green because you are zoning residential. The color of the rectangle indicates the space available:

  • bright green : all densities may fit.
  • darkened green: only room for low density. (as seen in picture)
  • red: no density will fit.

How do you increase density in Simcity?

To increase density you have to increase the area's happiness, as well as have roads that can support higher densities and that are spaced far enough apart for the higher density building's footprint. Note: Density and wealth are completely different things and are not effected by one another.

One picky thing I've seen with density upgrades at times is that, if a building attempts to upgrade density, it can't do so if the building it tries to turn into would run over a neighbour that's not yet ready to upgrade. Look at the happiness map and see if the neighbours are also ready for an upgrade - if not, you have to wait for them.
