CREATING CITY NETWORKS
People build complex machines called cities, outposts, or stations which integrate many structures, networks, and services supporting large numbers of people.
Creating these machines combines the layout of:
- Air distribution networks
- Water distribution networks
- Food distribution networks
- Power distribution networks
- Waste disposal / reclamation networks
- Communication networks
- Road, Bus, Subway, Train, Monorail networks
- Aerial corridor (aka “flyways”) or traffic control networks
- River/Sea traffic control networks
- Space traffic control networks (orbits, launch/landing windows, etc)

City Transport Networks
How do people move around the city?
How do goods move around the city?
City Communication Networks
Are alarm systems present (fire, smoke, movement, intrusion)?
What commercial radio and video stations or networks are present?
Wired or wireless computer network connections?
What amateur radio networks such as repeaters are present?
What weather monitoring networks are present?
How does information move around the city?
How do surface transports coordinate traffic controls?
Are closed-circuit camera systems present?
How do waterborne transports coordinate traffic controls?
How do airborne transports coordinate traffic controls?
How do spacefaring transports coordinate traffic controls?
