Morale of a city decides how many people can potentially immigrate to a city. It can be between -128 and +127, though the highest possible positive value is +9. When it is positive that number of people will immigrate to the city provided there are homes. If it is negative that many people will leave the city.
Every city report cycle morale modifiers are summed together and added to the city's current morale.

New-style Building Levels
With old-style buildings the number of levels was used to determine the morale impact of a building, under the new-style building system there are no levels anymore and instead the impact of each building on their respective morale value is determined by value in the building design. They can be seen in the Construction menu as "Professional" jobs, not to be confused with "services" which are jobs serving no purpose other than being jobs.
