Throughout the next couple of days Vizier Al-Hakam spent his time wandering through the designated "Guest Zones" of City Titan, learning about its terrifying efficiency.
To think that less than two years ago, Northumbria was a land of mud huts and sheep.
Though many regions of the City were still undergoing "Active Development" (a polite term for open construction pits), the fact that the streets were paved with flat stone slabs and illuminated by hissing gas lamps was astonishing to a scholar like Al-Hakam.
The city's overall layout was constructed in a way that not only took defense into mind but also optimized Traffic Flow.
By far, the Industrial Sector was the largest of these districts, pumping a constant, rhythmic heartbeat of steam and pistons into the grey sky.
Al-Hakam paused by a street corner, watching a team of "Sanitation Engineers" (street sweepers) moving in perfect unison.
