Once the people are back in line, you can have them build Urban Pacification Centers, which improve happiness in the entire system. You'll get them by researching Applied Political Science.

One major cause of riots is a bad initial choice for your people's happiness type.
If you chose Bloodthirsty, your people will get upset when you sign treaties with aliens, and get happier when you declare wars and kill things.
If your people are "Neutral", then they get upset at just about anything. Treaties, wars, new colonies even. They calm down faster than normal, but they are generally considered the hardest happiness type to deal with.

Hmmmm....

I just captured a few planets of a bloodthirsty race which had a Urban Pacification Center on two of them.

They are "happy" now, and I was thinking of destroying the Centers.

Guess this is a bad idea? Yes/No?
