Content: The upper left corner of the city screen shows how much of each resource the city is producing. Depending on what resources the empire, or that particular city, needs, consider carefully where to assign citizens and also consider what improvements should be constructed on the surrounding lands to improve upon the base yield (especially Farms to increase Growth and increased population); additionally, always have a strategy for the long-term development of a city, and use it to determine what buildings to build in it, and in what order. Population Growth
The population growth of a city, or the birth of new citizens, is determined by the city's available Food. The more Food a city is producing, the faster its population will grow. For more details about Food and Population growth, check this article. Population growth will slow dramatically if an empire is not Happy. Producing items
Every city has the ability to produce buildings, units, or projects. The availability of each depends on whether the technology unlocking it has been researched, and whether its prerequisites have been met. For example, certain buildings may only be built if a city is in a tile adjacent to a coast, or if a certain type of building has already been built in all of a civilization's cities, etc.
