Hi,
It is important that the resource is within the territory of the city
There is a setting in the editor where you can set this ('Required goods must be with City radius'), with this setting only those cities that have the given raw material can build the development. This is very useful when setting up mines or plantations, because cities that do not have the resource within their territory cannot access it, even though all cities in the civilization have access to that resource.
