Urbanism
The city is open and filled with trees and green spaces. The streets are made out of sandstone to make a better contrast with the green grass. It repects a traditional Japanese checkered layout.

The city is divided in neighbourhoods, each with its own function. The noble part of the city make up for half the area and is centered around the main avenue leading to the Imperial Palace. Walls play an important part as they delimit and outline the different spaces. The main principle is having a strong contrast between interiors and exteriors. The gates are particularly important and each is rendered unique. The first thing ever built for this city was the red Imperial Palace gate.

The northern part of the humble neighbourhood of the city is an import of the Kokiri village. Its more natural layout contrasts deeply with the noble part of the city. The streets are narrow as to make it impossible for the viewer to grasp the entirety of the village from one point of view.

The commercial district is the latest addition to the city. Its centered around a parallel central avenue cut by a bridge. Its housing style is that of the traditional Japanese merchant housing, "machiya".

History
The construction of Nankyo proper started around december 2013. Initially the city was meant to be on the northern part of the island.

The first ensemble built was the Imperial palace. It was wider and longer. Its size was reduced in order to avoid repetition in texture. The development of the city really started after heavy terraforming work and most importantly the walling. It helped to define the area.
