To recount our IRC discussion and mostly my feelings and thoughts about the layout of the two cylinders.

Each cylinder is 32Km long and 8Km in diametre. Now, it seems a bit silly to have this much space being used to segregate districts so we thought each strip being it's own town made some sense (Only throwing out ideas; With the small width it might make more sense to have the entire cylinder be a larger version of this town, but we got the dimensions wrong to start with.). This gives us three land strips in each cylinder (for 6 in total) with a length of 32Km and a width of about 4Km ((pi*8)/6). If we split each strip into eight parts we get eight roughly square sections of land at 4Km^2. The current suggestion is to make the center two sections a "downtown", the sections directly on either side of downtown being commercial/residential areas, and the two sections at the far end of each end being suburbs (see crappy diagram).

|--------------------------------------------32Km---------------------------------------------|
|--suburb--|--suburb--|--com/res--|--downtown--|--downtown--|--com/res--|--suburb--|--suburb--|  ]- ~4Km

Cheers, lorx.
