What I've attempted to do here is present information about the various buildings which influence where they are placed in relation to each other, and most importantly, in relation to the houses. The data in the tables was drawn from a text file which accompanies the game, and which can be found in the game directory. The game-playing level is "normal". A house won't evolve to the next level of housing until two things are true. First, the needs of the house at the higher level must be met. Second, the house must be in a desirable enough location. No too surprisingly, the services which supply the former usually destroy the latter. For details on what service each building supplies read the extensive manual, use the in-game help, or go to the first of the websites on my links page.

First there are the houses themselves. There's not much you can do about these since the you can only place the first level, but it's nice to see what effects are taking place as the houses evolve. Notice that fire hazard increases to a peak at Cottage levels, and then decreases. Damage is never a risk with houses, meaning that unless a supporting building requires engineers that you need not supply them.

Next are the buildings whose roving workers must access houses in order supply needed support services. They must not be allowed to wander out of the vicinity of the houses. Therefore these buildings must be located inside the roadblocks which define the limits of the residential areas. Notice that only the last four have a risk of damage, one of which is the engineer's post. Therefore an engineer is not required until a courthouse, library, or temple is built within the residential area. This is usually sooner than is strictly required by the level of housing, since the gods are much happier when there are temples. Also note that the Scribal School and Library have a very large fire hazard, the largest in the game in actual fact. This complicates the effort to bring literacy to your people, to a greater degree than might be expected.

Next are the buildings whose hiring agents must be able to come within two spaces of a house in order to hire workers. These buildings can be built in a service area near the residential area, outside the roadblocks which define the residential area and possibly not even directly connected to the area which supplies the labor. Most of these buildings have a negative effect, but the few which do not can be placed inside a residential area if desired, even if they do not have to be there. The buildings are grouped by the required hazard protections. Buildings of like hazard can benefit from the same protection coverage, and if the buildings are properly segregated a savings in city service expenses and manpower requirements will result.
Need No Protection

Lesson 1: Pairs of ferry terminals which are only servicing immigrants need no support since they require no workers.
Lesson 2: Meadowland farm complexes require no protection as long as the produce is stored elsewhere.
Lesson 3: The entire defensive system requires no maintenance, and only towers require manpower.

Lesson 4: Quarries and mining areas require only an engineer's post unless as is frequently the case a residential outpost is required, and as long as the produce is stored elsewhere. Stonemason's Guild can be located within that area, but it is more convenient if it is closer to the monument workplace.

Need Only Fire Protection

Lesson 5: If you build residential outposts to support the gatherers of game meat, reeds, and wood in remote places, you still will only need a firehouse as long as you store the gathered materials elsewhere. These are most conveniently stored near the industry using them, or in granaries serving the city in the case of the game meat.

Next, there are the buildings which do not require any workers but which do require maintenance and therefore cannot be located too far from residential areas. Since the effects of these are all positive, they can be located within the residential area if desired.

Finally, there are those buildings which require nothing at all from people. Some of the items on this list are not things which you place, such as burning ruins. I thought it was nice to see what these things were doing to the desirability of the neighborhood.
