Outside the walls that surround the inner districts are 5 outer districts built on partially artificially created land, filled in as the city expanded. The outer districts tend to be home to a majority of the city's lower income, factory-working, and blue collar residents, due both to the proximity of the many factories and warehouses as well as the lower cost of living outside the city walls.Atwater

Architecture
Verticality is key when it comes to architecture and construction in New Reet City. Built on a landmass in the center of the large Whiskerwhip Marsh, there was only so much room for expansion outwards before the only direction left was up.
As the population within the walls grew, the housing and other construction spread across the land up to the limits of the walls. At this point large infrastructure development projects had also begun, roads, gutters, and sewers among them. The earth excavated from the sewer construction and other land leveling projects was moved to fill in and widen the land bridges as well as create an artificial extension of the land outside the walls. These extensions now hold the outer wall districts, creating housing, business, and factory space cheaper than those inside the walls.
Inside the walls, the city started building upwards. Single and double floor housing still exists but far and few between. Most districts are made up of closely constructed stone and/or wood housing of 3 to 5 floors and multiple families and/or businesses. The Marble Steps district has the highest concentration of single family homes in the city, from brownstones to full estates of multiple buildings and private grounds.
