In [[SimCity]], [[cities ]] can be specialized to serve specific purposes.
Cities can not only specialize into any of the [[#Big Businesses|big businesses]] but also create their own roles in the [[region].
=Big Businesses=

The player becomes not only a mayor but also a business mogul.
*Big businesses are pre-determined by Maxis.
*The player's rank on the leaderboard is determined by the amount of profit from that business in the past 12 months.
==Mining==
: ''Main article: [[Mining]]''
Cities specialized in mining extract [[ore ]] and [[coal ]] for profit. To extract the minerals, [[Coal Mine|Coal]] and [[Ore Mine|Ore Mines ]] must be constructed directly above the corresponding deposits. Extracted ore and coal can be exported to the [[Global Market ]] for immediate profit. [[Coal Power Plants Plant]]s burn coal to generate [[power|electricity]]. A [[Smelting Factory|Smelting Factory ]] can be constructed to process ore and coal into more valuable resources: [[alloy ]] and [[metal]].
==Drilling==

==Electronics==
: ''Main article: [[Electronics]]''
==TradeTrading==:''Main article: [[TradeTrading]]''Trade is about buying and selling [[commodities]] on the [[Global Market]].
==Gambling==
: ''Main article: [[Gambling]]''
A gambling city relies on [[Gambling#Gambling Structures|casinocasinos]]s to attract tourists and generate revenue.
*Gambling specialization focuses on attracting tourists instead of the gathering resources or manufacturing goods.
Gambling city requires the construction of an adequate [[Mass Transit|mass transit]] system to bring in tourists and avoid traffic congestion. Casinos attract criminals. A large [[police]] force is needed to combat the increase in crime.
=Other Specializations=
==Education==
==Culture==
*It is similar to Gambling specialization and can be paired with it.
There are 2 types of culture buildings, [[Culture#Standards|Standards]] and [[Landmarks]]. Landmarks are further divided into two additional types, [[Landmarks#Venues|Venues]] and [[Landmarks#Attracters|Attracters]].
*Only 3 Landmarks can be built in a city.
