1. City Layout

The best layout is that you start building the initial road and keep straight going north. Leave two buildings space between parallel roads drawn from the perimeter(connected of course).
Why is this important?
Well, the simplest the better. Roads that you build will connect vital services(power, water, sewage, waste management, fire, police, parks) to your residential zones. When the population will rise sims will ask you to build better roads(4-lane, 6-lane) and once you build them you better stick to them because demolishing the roads will give you no refund but upgrading the roads will cost too much. And who has coins to upgrade the roads that early in the game?

Of course you can get creative after you save millions of coins but then this guide will be of no use to you.

Keep your factories away from your residential zones as they have a dirty radius which will reduce the happiness of sims and they will in turn pay less taxes.

Try to bulid near the beach beacuse when the beach is unlocked you can boost your population by placing beach specializations. But beause they can only be build on the shore they have a limited coverage inside the city. So you need to start preparing that in advance.
