How can I improve the employment rate of my city and increase the urban population?

[xuxin1458]

A city's population growth is supported by 1) a low employment rate, 2) high quality of living, and 3) sufficient housing supply. The population growth rate is a result of comparing the city's population in the beginning of this year with the same period last year.

When you have these 3 factors all in good conditions, the population will grow.

If I built a large number of factories or farmland in a flash, it would lead to a huge employment gap, and then a large number of immigrants would enter my city. But that's unsustainable. Once I stop building, these immigrants will become very few or even zero

I downloaded the new 6.2.05 version of the game, but I still can't have a large number of immigrants to move into my city except for the first year. My city has a large number of universities and provides a large number of urban competitiveness every year. The quality of life is also the highest as far as possible and a large number of factories have been established to provide jobs. I currently use real world's Mod, and I'll try again in the original game.

I started a new game using v6.2.05 and RealWorld Mod and just let the game run by itself.

All the cities have registered good, if not spectacular, population growth in the test run, as you could see in the attached screenshot.

The higher than normal population growth rates were primarily boosted by the huge number of product types in the RealWorld MOD which led to high consumer spendings. In a vanilla game without mods, the population growth will be more measured.

I also uploaded the save game to a site for you to download and observe: https://caplab.b-cdn.net/savegames/PopulationGrowth.rar

Have you ever tried to build a new city? After building a new city, I will improve the competitiveness of the city and the quality of life, and the population growth will be very slow.

Cities that are not newly built and have not specifically improved their competitiveness are rapidly growing in population. But in addition to the first year's population increase of nearly 50000 in the newly-built cities, the following population increase is more than 10000 but less than 20000.

I think the most important problem is that the new patch still doesn't seem to reflect the role of urban competitiveness and quality of life. The competitiveness and quality of life of my new city are much higher than your city, but the number of people moving in is much smaller than your city.

Please provide your save game file and I will check it for you.

The test run I did was using v6.2.05. So if you are using v6.2.05 too, the functionality should be the same.

I played a new game file with version 6.2.05. In this archive, I still made the city competitive and the quality of life in the city very good.

In addition, I found a new bug, using version 6.2.05 to split the factories and place them separately, which can't reduce the pollution of the city. The previous version should be OK. My city has built about 100 factories, with an environmental index of 0.

If this problem cannot be corrected, there will be no point in building a new city. If the new city can move 10000 people every year (actually only 5000 people), it will take more than 100 years to build a city of 1 million people, which is too long.
