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.

Simple answer here – my dad is a digger driver, and this is based on the UK
They plan *everything* first. You’ll know how many houses you’re building before you start.
Sewers and drainage comes first. Then basic dirt roads (nothing concrete, as you’ll need to add power).
Then the first few houses are built near the edge, so people can see what they look like and walk round a “show home”.
Then it gets larger from there – it’ll keep being built in the background. As the houses are finished, the roads and sidewalks are finished for that part. Then they all move down to the next bit. Depending on how many houses sell, depends on how quick they move to the next sector of the site.
In the U.K., once you build a certain number of houses in a new area, you’re legally bound to build a pub, a school, and a row of stores. Convenience store, pharmacy, ATM, etc.
The school aspect isn’t implemented often, it’s rarely that big. There’s an area called Chase Meadow in the Midlands, which has been consistently built for the last ten years-ish. That has its own school. It’s weird because, for example, 11th grade is empty until the year below moves up / because hundreds of new families moved in at the same time.
Hope this helps friend. I’ve used American language because I know we Brits have different words for some things
Edit: the discussion below over “legally bound” is very entertaining
