Ring City

Architecture
Ring City greets the Avalonian surface with an incredibly space-efficient 'middle class' section that holds the majority of the population. This zone serves as the foundation for the pylons that hold the high class' residence above the clouds. Excluded from the space-efficient ideology plaguing the middle class, the more wealthy structures are products of aesthetic and feature organic lines and supports. In addition to the 'middle class', the surface of the Avalon supports a rail system that supports the constantly-rotating Daystar Fleetyards.

Layout

The Northern provinces house the Limerick Building, along with many secure warehouses, with the central province housing the upper middle class living spaces, and more parks than any other province in the system.

Transportation
With a city spanning the circumstance of a planet, a large problem is transportation. The solution was simple, mass transit. Ring City uses a series of vacuum tubes, and move capsules at high speeds, so that people can get from one side to the other in relatively little time.
