## Urban Inequality – Realistic Building Growth
Urban Inequality transforms the way buildings evolve in your city by introducing realistic socio-economic dynamics. Inspired by real-world urban development patterns, this mod creates a city where not every neighborhood becomes a utopia — and where growth is earned.
## Features
* Education-Based Progression: Building upgrades now consider the education level of adult and senior residents. Higher education leads to faster growth, while low education holds neighborhoods back.
* Income-Driven Penalties: Low-income households face harsher conditions for leveling up, mimicking real-world development disparities.
* City-Wide Level Caps: Set realistic caps on how many buildings can reach each level — for example, only 5–10% of all buildings might become level 5, just like in actual cities.
* 20 Real City Presets: Select from cities like Tokyo, São Paulo, London, and New York to instantly apply their typical building distribution patterns.
* Fully Configurable: Adjust penalty strength and level cap percentages directly from the settings menu.
## Note on Existing Cities
This mod does not retroactively downgrade or restrict already-upgraded buildings. The new rules apply only to future upgrades that happen after the mod is enabled. For the most immersive experience, it’s best used from the start of a new city.
