Manage healthcare, death care, and garbage in Cities: Skylines. Learn how these services and others impact citizen happiness.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Build clinics and hospitals to ensure proper healthcare coverage across your city. Spacing clinics across the city often provides better value than overconcentrating healthcare in one district.
  2. 2
    Place cemeteries or crematoriums strategically to cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) different city areas. You usually only need a few death-care buildings if coverage is distributed sensibly.
  3. 3
    Provide garbage collection by building landfills, incineration plants, or combined systems. Garbage can become one of the more annoying service bottlenecks, so monitor it before it starts dragging down happiness.
  4. 4
    Monitor how these services impact citizen happiness and adjust their coverage accordingly.
Tips
  • Distribute healthcare buildings like clinics across your city for better value.
  • Place death care buildings like cemeteries or crematoriums strategically for sensible coverage.
  • Monitor garbage collection closely to prevent it from negatively impacting happiness.
  • Remember that citizen happiness is shaped by many overlapping factors, including healthcare, garbage, traffic, education, entertainment, mail, and crime.
