In the year 2520, the world is on the brink of extinction. An international space agency has been formed in order to find a new home for humanity.

NASA: Manhattan, New York The city planning in Manhattan is very linear and orthogonal because if its huge population growth in the 1790s - 1810s. ESA: Florence, Italy This city was the birthplace of the Renaissance and has many ties to art and architecture. CSA: Montreal, Canada The city of Montreal has a style similar to that of French city planning. This dense industrial metropolitan city has a rich culture with French roots. JAXA: Tokyo, Japan The Imperial Palace in Tokyo can be repurposed to common area to influence a more communal based city scape. ROSCOSMOS: St. Petersburg, Russia The natural boundaries are what makes this city unique. The river separates to create four to five little towns.
