The grand city of Aeries
History- In the tropical area's early days the bay the city occupied was a rural tourist destination. Small to mid size towns existed along the bay (population 200k) The regions main exports where fish and Palm oil. The bay region had a total GDP of $300m. It started when a major developer from Northport. Submitted a request for a mid density beach resort in the town of Aeries.The Request was approved and the project was extremely successful.The city took off first 4 resorts then 10 ( city pop 100k)(region pop 310k). The city leader's knew at the start of this trend that sprawl would follow. A citywide zoning restriction was made. No low density buildings would be allowed within the city ground's.This law kept the city's footprint small...for a while anyway.
Fast forward 10 years the great Northport crash had began.The city of Northport (600 miles away)(pop 10.5mill)(capital of Amverdera) had began to decline. The citys government suffered from corruption,The city suffered from extremely high crime,home prices were high,and business tax's stood at 50% over a 4 year period the city's population declined by 3.1 million. Over 12 years the citys population dropped below 800k. In the year 1987 Capitol building was burned down. The government decided to move the capital. But to which city? Elington to the south? Emerald Canyon to the south west or westward (Aeries)

By this time the city of aeries was now booming. $400B worth of projects were underway, the citys population stood at 500k 1/3 of the bay annexed. .The factor's were weighed By the Amverdera government and the decision was made to move to Aeries.

A tech boom along with the governments relocation to Aeries pushed the city over the edge. Fast forward 27 years to modern Aeries. Now a Hyper dense city of 2.86 million people. The city Is actually 30 miles off shore. The island the city resides on is totally urban. The city of Aeries has no metropolitan area as it is the only city government on the island
