Commercial Zone is not building

[Aisaac Nordrac]

I've made a new city in the game, I wanted to do a small one since the last one I tried to make too big and started to bug out too much. The thing is, I made quite a lot of commercial area in aspect ratio to the residential ones, and while the latter is growing rather fast, the commercial areas just refuse to grow and have more buildings, I have a very high demand for commercial areas but I already have a lot of it, but no one is using it, so my town is stuck and not growing, since without commerce the factories are left abandoned, what do I do?

Commercials need more and high educatet workers - so check your education and unemployment
KKeep in mind : The demand bar don`t tell what is needed !!! It is only a statement what might be build if you zone it
Check Import-Export and keep it low
Education is an important factor
Use Offices to buffer your unemployment rate
Use Cluster to buffer Employment rate and import Export

Is the land value awful?
Are there enough people educated enough to work there?
Are your workers preferring industry for jobs?
Is it well connected?
Is there a 400 car traffic jam somewhere? (it would suprise you how much this causes these problems)

If someone will find this question via google (like me)...

If you play your City with a special Building Theme and there are no Buildings in this Theme for commercials -> they won't build.

Yup - called it. Just happened to me. Checked the themes and I applied the theme I wanted in just one district I had applied to the entire city. Thanks!
