Hello

How come I can't build a spaceport in my capital as I am told that I need a population of 20 or more, but I've been allowed to build one in a city that has a population of 8?

What is the logic here?

The number of existing districts in the city --- a population level can support only so many districts, and Spaceport counts as one.
 
A newly built city can support 1 district.
At pop 4, it can support 2;
7,10,13,16,19,22,25, etc all add another district that can be supported:The formula is ceiling(population / 3)

Exceptions:
1. Aqueducts/Neighborhoods don't count.
2. Unique Districts don't count either.
3. Germany has the ability to build one more district than everyone else.

Bottom line is plan carefully if you want a spaceport in a city; the good news is it's relatively easy to grow late game, if not housing caped just place a farm adjacent to another farm, but if you are near the cap, add a neighborhood.
