Using Plato's Utopia as a model, Yurt designed Science City as a series of concentric circles. The Circle would be then divided into four quarters with a circle where the four corners meet in the dead center. This divides Science City into five Districts. As a rebis of science and ancient alchemy, the five districts of Science City represent the five mystic elements; Fire, Air, Water, Earth and Aether. Just crossing Thermodynamic Way and between Kepler Avenue, is the Earth District. Home to some of the most environmentally friendly homes ever built. Each home, from suburban style houses, to many storied apartment buildings is equipped with solar panels, communal compost areas, and pneumatic tubes for quick and easy removal of waste and recyclables. The many parks of the Earth District are equidistant from each other, so that every citizen can enjoy a nice stroll. From Kepler Avenue to Archimedes Avenue is the Water District. Hydroponic Gardens and Farms make up the most of this quarter. There are many jobs in this agricultural marvel. The many layered gardens increase the surface area and let Science City yield as much as ten times as many crops as any comparable sized farmland. Here can be found The Modern Wonder of the Hanging Gardens. The Archimedean Screw, powered by the strong Arizonian Sun makes this technological cornucopia, self sustaining! Then we cross over Oppenheimer Street to the Fire District. Here we can find most of the industry and business of Science City. The factories burn fuel made from the pulped garbage of its citizens. This quarter is a buzz with workers going around and about making Science City the largest product producing area in the South West! We then cross Einstein Blvd into the Air District. Here can be found the many museums, theaters, restaurants as well as shopping centers. Where would any large city be without commerce? Moving sidewalks make parking unnecessary. Why drive when you can casually be conveyed along at a comfortable pace? When in town try to take in a baseball game at Tesla Stadium. Word is that the Scientists are the team to beat! And like all major cities, Science City has administrative needs. Crossing Hypathia Circle brings you to the Aether District. Here, along with the Modern Wonder of The Colossus, you can find Science City Hall, The Great Library, and equa distance from all other districts, Galen Hospital. As you can see, Science City meets all your needs with style, panache, and with a minimum of impact to the environment.
