Clotheslines strung next to power lines, and mechanical gates set into ancient brick walls.{{Ref/Reuse|halo2}}{{Ref/Reuse|ani}} In some areas, newer skyscrapers had found their home.{{Ref/Reuse|coastal}}{{Ref/Map|Id=breakneck|HR|Breakneck}} | The architecture of the city is different depending on the location.
