Residential

Residental Buildings are very important. As you would expect residents live in these buildings. You can't have a city without residents.

 * Residental Complex: A 2x2 Resident who has a lot of space. Houses 52 people
 * Eco-House: This house makes it's own food and water at the cost of energy. Houses 18 people
 * Modules Foundation: ( This is not listed in the residental tab and also can be used for other purposes.) This can be up to six stories high and every storie can handle 26 people

Tips and Tricks

 * Make use of the small space that homes use by mashing a decent amount of buildings into the same large square. Also try to place some of your residential zone on the side of your cliff, so that you have room for buildings who are need to be on top of your cliff.
 * Houses, Medium Residences, and Residential Complexes all have the same efficiency of 52 residential places (80 when using the Tenants upgrade) per 4 grid-squares; to obtain higher efficiency, you should build a Modules Foundation with 6x Housing Module or a Residential Skyscraper, both having the efficiency of about 160 residential places per 4 grid-squares.
