The city stands above Sector 7. Its residents sleep. Trams still pass the empty flats all night, and before every dawn the custodial machines sweep the streets clear. Scavengers live in the hours between, salvaging what they can and getting back below ground before the dawn sweep.
Sixteen districts lie on one loop line run by Liminal Transit. The corporate campus in the corp-core district keeps one floor lit all night, always the same floor. See the lit floor.

The city in other eras
In one possible future, the Wasteland, the trams have stopped, the lit floor is dark and the dead walk the streets.
