District 22

Summary

---

This district is focused on underground construction in response to land shortages in cities across the world, the district is divided in floors, each floor has their own purpose, while the surface is mostly uninhabited, the district internally has no Ershen lines, only with one station to get into the surface of the district, the way to get down the floors is either through highways that spiral down, or through elevators.

Defences

A lot of Anti skill presence, however, unlike all other districts, it has very little, to almost none Containment units. Every floor has strategically placed "shelters" in case of emergencies, these shelters have their own generators, sturdy structure and oxygen pumps. In order to keep the district safe from earthquakes and alike, the entire area is disconnected from the rest of the earth, using eletromagnetic technology the entire district is floating 10 meters away from it's surroundings.

Infrastructure

The surface

The surface contains a modified structure combining the properties of a wind turbine and a solar panel, these wind turbines are built like vertical helices, or like circular staircases, whose shape absorbs the wind's cinetic power and passes along to the arm on top of it, althought at a weaker power, it guarantees maximum wind efficiency, each arm is made of a specialized type of glass that is designed to let through as much of solar light as possible with current technology, to provide the necessary power to the amorphous silicon solar panels installed at the back of these structures. Given that there's nothing else at the surface of the district, nothing stops the wind turbines of working at it's near max capacity given the current climate conditions.

The underground

To support life so deep underground the district counts with specialized pumps, absorbing oxygen from the surface and removing the carbon dioxide accumulated below, with extra pumps to remove water from the rain that falls down through the roads. Every floor has a waste collection station that lifts the produced waste to the surface through an elevator. The district also has way more emphasis on personal transport, with no Ershen lines inside the underground complexes, instead having many roads.

Districts

Currently this district has underground floors 5 floors.
The first and second floor are residential, much like district 7. The third floor is a commercial floor like District 16. The 4th floor unites entertainment, but unlike district 6, this are has a lot of adult entertainment as well. The 5th floor isn't open for visitors, and is instead used for testing purposes, but this may change in the future as more floors are implemented.

History

This district was a project created by Credes, considering that soon, many cities will face land shortages with nowhere to expand, going underground could prove a possible solution, while at first it was dismissed by the other council members, he managed to convince them to direct more funding to the district, which soon started showing great results, attracting more and more investors, and nowadays, this district is large enough to be a city of it's own.

Points of interest

The ceilings on all of the underground complexes have planetarium projection panels made out of bulletproof fiber screen, passing through a camera to form an artificial sky with intense light all around the district to simulate the day and night cycles, although residents are still advised to go outside since this light cannot provide many of the sun's benefits, also, since it's still a screen it can be used to display warnings and alike

Architecture

District 22

This entire district has way more verticality than the others, many tourists can easily get lost in these places so a guide is advised, it's also observed that the architectural trend in this area are modern designs, with slick designs.

Residential floors

 unlike district 7, these areas are more focused on apartments and modern style buildings.

Comercial complex

Instead of a normal city like arrangement, this floor is instead like a huge mall.

Entertainment area

This area is very luxurious, with fancy estabilishments that give refined atmospheres.

Geography

Even though the district is underground, every level has their share of greenery with the residential complexes bolsting forests which aids in purifying the air and psychologically aids in providing the people residing there a sense of serenity, all the plants are native to the sorrounding regions, every floor also has artificial rivers flowing through it, the council saw this river as an opportunity to both enrich the view as well as utilizing the force of gravity, making the rivers fall in the corners of the districts in hidroeletric plants to generate aditional power.

Climate

The temperatures are closely observed and kept as close as to the outside's as possible.
