Learn how to use the De-Zone tool in SimCity 2000 to remove unwanted zones and clean up rubble for only $1 per tile.

The De-Zone tool allows you to remove zoning from a specific area in your city. This is particularly useful if you accidentally zoned a scenic area or need a fast way to clear rubble. To clear rubble, zone a single tile in the affected area, then use the De-Zone tool on that area, ensuring the newly zoned tile is included. The rubble will vanish, and you will have only paid $6 for the single low-density tile and the cost to de-zone it.

This method is significantly cheaper than using a bulldozer, which costs $1 per tile to clean rubble. Furthermore, the De-Zone method saves you time as you do not need to individually address each tile.

Tips
  • Zone one low-density tile in an area with rubble, then de-zone the entire affected area to clear it quickly.
  • Compare the $1 per tile cost of de-zoning rubble to the $1 per tile cost of using a bulldozer.
  • De-zoning is more efficient than bulldozing for rubble cleanup as it handles multiple tiles at once.

Cost: $1 per tile.
