Infrastructure
The city is split into three distinct districts by the two rivers which meet within the city. These districts are connected by a series of impressive bridges, built to allow the barges and boats which travel the rivers to pass beneath. The Tech provides the city with plumbing, street lighting, monorails(/skyrails?) and running water, to name a few conveniences.
