Civilization – District building limitations in Civ 6

civilization-6

During play I have noticed sometimes I can't build certain districts on certain types of land.

For example, a campus can't be built on a resource (irritating if a resource is next to lots of mountains)

Is there an exhaustive list of all these limitations anywhere – what can and can't be built where?

According to the wiki, the limitations are as follows

  • Floodplains (unless you're Egypt).
  • Strategic/Luxury Resources (Unless it was built before that strategic resource was revealed, in which case you're granted access once it is researched).
  • Antiquity Sites or Shipwrecks before you've excavated them.
  • Already existing Wonders/Districts
  • Non-Clearable Features (e.g. If you don't have mining you can't build a district on a forest).
  • Harbor Districts must be adjacent to land.
  • Aerodome and Spaceport districts must be on flat land (no hills).
  • Aqueducts must be one tile away from both your city center and a mountain, river, or lake tile.

It states that you can place districts on bonus resources but they will be removed.
