Buildings
Buildings in CiM 2 are divided into 10 groups, ranging from city center buildings to leisure, shopping, residential, industry, and so on. These buildings house different kinds of people and jobs, and affect how their surroundings develop when new buildings appear in the neighborhood. Of course, there is overlapping so that the transition from one area to the next is smooth and natural.

The second largest part of making the levels after the roads are laid down is the placing of buildings. Due to the dynamic nature of the game, the process is a bit different than in the prequel. The city's key areas are built by hand-placing each building manually, and when the first pass is done, the rest of the buildings are generated. Then, a second pass is made to inspect and enhance the generation process. This way, the maps stay consistent when the player starts building their network and making changes to the city through the influence of their lines and while building additional roads.
