 To make only high-tech industry, which doesn't pollute and can get you new buildings if you have enough, go to The Monthly Budget menu and raise the taxes for Manufacturing and Dirty Industry to 20.0, which is the highest it will go. The demand for them will get really low and now if you make industry in a high desirability zone it will develop as High-Tech Industry. If it doesn't, to help lower taxes for High-Tech a little or build parks and commercial all around it, but note that you will need to provide a well educated population as well as a supply of water.
+==Stages==
+All buildings you can potentially get in SimCity are categorized into various stages, which roughly state how high the population density of the building is. At the beginning, you will only get stage 1 buildings, which have a very low density. As your population grows, more and more buildings of higher stages will start to appear in your city. For residential and commercial buildings, the stages range from 1 to 8. Industrial buildings only range from stages 1 to 3.
+Note that the stages depend on the regional and not the city population, as such it is very much possible to have skyscrapers growing in an empty city if the neighbors are sprawling metropolises.
