Yes the agents doesn't have buildin intelligence. Or more formal
speaking: the user has to provide the utility function which says how
good a given result state should be viewed.

At point up in the hierarchy there will/should/may be some
intelligence. I have no ideas how this turns out but I'm pretty sure
that this level is above the management of a single city. The
parameter to manage a single city are only a few.
