Lower Sectors

Welcome
Welocme to the lower sectors of Neo Midgar, where people live in rotten-low down slums. Although the train coming from the surface brings people up and down from the main city on the plate to the slums, some people are too poor to live above and have to live down under the main city....


Living in the slums
Living is not easy in the slums. People have to live in houses built from scraps and some even live inside old cars. Nobody actually pays for the mortgage or bills because the poor people have already found out a way to power up their buildings without Shinra knowing, they find ways to tap into the Mako Reactor Currents and tranfer energy to their main power supply in the mako tower next to the support plates. Some people bring food from above with the monet they earn. Some people actually live in slums and have a job working above, that is how some citizens make a living


Layout
Unlike the sectors above, the slums are not separated, the are just a huge area with shacks and dirt below. Some sections of the slums are divided by huge garbage heaps and torn down buildings. Some sectors are separated by huge walls as well. At the end of each slum, there is a door leading to the outside world, but Shinra has locked them and the doors need a special key to open. At these doors, this is the only place where people can see the sun and grass.....


Traveling Around
There are no roads in the slums, just junk and dirt. Unfortunately in this picture, Shinra had ideas for a huge freeway system but dumped it into the Sector 6 slums. Mostly people do not drive around in the slums due to the lack of space to drive because of all the junk and buildings. Most people just travel by walking around, avoiding wild animals and crooks. People eventually get used to danger and travel in huge groups for protection.
