I highly recommend the official strategy guide for this game. It describes the, IMHO overly-complex, concept of stage limits and how they effect population growth.

From what I understand of stage limits the different types of zone develpoment (R$,R$$,Co$,CS$,IA,ID,IM,IHT,ect.) effect population limits regionwide
So you have to find the right balance within your residential, comercial and industrial development types in order to expand your population to the next threshhold level.

I honestly put this game on the shelf a month or two back in favor of C&C generals and haven't gotten back to it. This part of the game seemed more complex than anything in previous simcity games but perhaps when I go back to the game and play it more it will be easier to understand.

Good luck and happy city building! [img]smile.gif[/img]
