Demolish

Buildings may be downgraded or removed from your city by using the demolish action. This may be done with labor over time or with dynamite which is immediate.

How to Demolish a Building

 * 1) Open the menu for the building by clicking on the building in the Town or City view.
 * 2) Click the demolish button.  It is found in the bottom right corner of the image of the building (the red anti symbol).  This takes you to the Demolish Building menu. Here you can select the following:

With Labor
At the Demolish Building menu, choose Demolish by One Level. This is free and returns some resources, depending on the building's level. However, it also takes time.

With Dynamite
At the Demolish Building menu, choose Completely Demolish. This costs 1 dynamite, and returns an empty building spot immediately. However, it does not return any resources.
