Kith Town
10: Kith Town begins "...as a district in a small city." (p. 77)
Later, it is surrounded by trees, grass, sunflowers, flocks of crows and grazing neobison that are hunted only by "...wild dogs and master-class men..." (p. 78) when this part of central North America has become "...a vicarial preserve." (ibid.)
21: The low Kith Town buildings are surrounded by the towers of a city where the previously peaceful nearest neighborhood has turned bad.
44; Kith Town is "...ever dwindling..." (p. 423)
48: Kith Town is a robotically tended museum surrounded by the ruins of cities that had occasionally engulfed it.
An outstanding future history.

Kaor, Paul!
I have been to the UK, and I thought of how this kind of layering can be found in London, with its successive layers of remains from Roman, Medieval, Early Modern, and Modern times.
Ad astra! Sean
