The city map groups its named places into a handful of roles. Rather than a fixed list that goes stale, this page explains how the map is organised so you can find whatever you need.

LANDMARKS

City character

Recognisable places that give the map its sense of local identity.

Reading the map

Places usually combine a purpose with a cost. Transport gets you somewhere quickly but drains money or energy; leisure restores fun and social needs but costs time. Match the place to the need you are trying to fix.

One place, in detail

Nightlife spots are a good example of how a location works. See the dedicated page on one well-known venue for how a single place can carry several systems at once.
