The map keeps every place you have looked at. Before the session, save Alt-München and the whole city's streets, and the map works without a network.

Legend

How 1,000 years changed the city

• Alt-München. Everything inside the Gürtel (the Mittlerer Ring) has been under heritage law since the 22nd century. Streets and houses survive, the old town in gold. What changed: no cars, trams on the boulevards, linear parks where the rail yards were, reopened city brooks and glider ports on the roofs.
• Gliders. Almost everyone flies. Gliders fill the sky in lanes above the boulevards and avenues, and land on rooftops, plazas, sky-bridges and in glider bays along every street. The streets themselves belong to people on foot, the trams and the parked gliders; there are no cars.
• Die Neustadt. Between the Gürtel and the Wall almost nothing of 2026 is left. The VEU rebuilt the outer city as one plan: ring boulevards every 600 metres, radial avenues and dense blocks of courtyard houses, slabs, terraces and towers, with a few parks, water basins and glider ports. It is low near the Gürtel and around the old village cores, and rises towards the Wall and around its centres: Fröttmaning, Riem, Neuperlach, Freiham, Garching and the spaceport. Its 50-odd Stadtbezirke carry the names of the towns and villages it swallowed.
• Der Wall. The old A99 became the tallest ring: four rows of towers, 300–400 m high and each as big as a whole city block, joined by sky-bridges.
• Würmtal & Seeufer. To the south-west the city grew up the Würm valley to the Starnberger See. Along the lake's northern shores the old villas were never rebuilt: the Seeufer is where the very rich live, with gardens down to the water and their own glider pads.
• Isarmoos. In the 26th century the plan was continued north-east over the drained Erdinger Moos until it reached the spaceport: the only direction with flat, free land.
• Unterstadt. The city couldn't grow up inside the Gürtel, so it grew down: the old U-Bahn, seven Stammstrecken (the seventh under construction since 2780), lit arcades under the central squares, old road tunnels turned into passages, flood reservoirs under the parks, and the Dunkelzonen, old cellars nobody has mapped for centuries.
• Green. The Isar has a floodplain forest through the whole city; old motorways and rail corridors became parks; the big forests stayed.
• Grenzring & Tore. Where there is no Wall, a perimeter boulevard, the Grenzring, marks the legal edge of the city; beyond it nothing may be built. Where the mag-rail lines leave the city stand its gates (Augsburger, Salzburger, Garmischer Tor) with freight yards, markets, glider ports and VEU checkpoints.
• Rail. Every district has a station: today's S-Bahn and U-Bahn run on, the Stammstrecken cross deep under the old town, the Ringbahn and the Wallbahn link the districts around, a Raumhafen-Express runs non-stop to the spaceport, and a Stadtbahn network does the rest: radial lines into the districts the S- and U-Bahn miss, each starting at an interchange; tangents on the ring boulevards that link the radials; a grid of Querbahnen across the Isarmoos; the Würmtalbahn; and the Seeuferbahn around the lake. In the city the S-Bahn stops every 1.2–1.6 km. Inside the Gürtel, trams run on the boulevards.
• Der Saum. Where the Wall stands, it is the city's firm edge. Everywhere else the city frays into a hem of old villages, small houses and fields that feed it: the Unionshöfe, big farms that have lived on Union subsidies since the First Exodus. Green wedges of forest reach in along the Isar and the Würm and bring fresh air. Then the forest begins.
• Umland. Forest almost everywhere. Few ruins are left, only four mag-rail lines and two old roads leave the city, because people travel by air: gliders between the towers, orbital ferries from the Raumhafen Erding. Only the lake villas, Grünwald, Freising and the Freigemeinde are still lived in.
