Think turn-of-the-century New York but with less cities nearby or really any surrounding civilization. New absalom is harder to get to than the vast(1d6 weeks+ 1 month). Drift Beacons are attempted to be placed causing occasional influx of new immigrants but something about the planet causes the beacons to stop working after a few months. Establish shortly after the gap (24 AG) giving it a 276 year old culture all it's own and a population to rival modern day Jakarta. Since it is one city there is one overarching governmental body with a mayor at it's head.
The Draw of the Planet is that it is lush and full of biodiversity and resources, there are no civilizations of any kind that have been found on the planet to date, except for ruins the most recent of which would be comparable to dilapidated buildings of the modern day (much like Horizon Zero Dawn but without the surviving tribes of humans) that seem to have records untouched by the Gap.
Much like good old New York, New Absalom City is divided into neighborhoods:
Little Akiton: A blue collar sector, lots of reds and oranges in the design of the buildings, cities most popular fighting arenas are here (both legal and illegal alike).
Dragontown: Highest ryphorian and dragonkin population in the city, cultural loyalties to one of the two dragon led nations on triaxus is common but not terribly important, rumors of a adult dragon with the district are common
Kalo District: neighborhood built mostly within the nearby bay with some businesses on shore, fashion forward much like kalo back in the pact worlds, size of the underwater portions is not truly known by any who live on the land
Aballon Heights: Anacite and sro dominated neighborhood with most of the cities manufacturing, also a surprisingly popular club scene
I wanted to post this here to get some help expanding this Idea. No one can build a city by themselves and I would love to get some more input.
