When they build a town, in what order do they build things generally? E.g. roads, sewer, residences, schools, electric cabling, post office, etc etc.

It’s the reverse of cleaning. You build from the bottom, up.

So you build the trenches for underground stuff – sewerage, water, electricity, fibre-optics, rainwater etc. first. Then you build the foundations, then the walls, then the roof and pylons (if electricity and telecoms are going above ground).

As for public services, zone them, and they will come.

This is as ELI5 as I can get.
