At Alpha Centauri, the Lunarians colonize the asteroids. Perun a thousand kilometers at its widest, is too small for cities, but does have a north polar spacefield approached by roads surrounded by domes, masts, pyramids and colonnades. The spacefield has hemicylindrical buildings and a control radar. The Lunarians have built much in few years and are now constructing a spaceship that might travel to Proxima Centauri and further.
Observe how Harvest Of Stars transcends its earlier chapters and also how much information is packed into each of the later chapters.

Kaor, Paul!
And I far prefer what the people on Perun and Demeter are doing, compared to the smothering stagnation the Teramind, the AI of Earth, was trying to seduce the humans of the Solar System into accepting!
Btw, an asteroid a thousand kilometer in diameter, still covers a large territory (larger, if I had to guess, than Belgium or the Netherlands). And would seem to have plenty of room for some cities. Maybe the Lunarians simply didn't want cities?
