Four of these buildings, each a half mile across, comprise 90% of the sector's living space (as well as stretching through a dozen sectors up above).

Originally, the name Heart City was a tourist attraction, the old Heart City Zoo and Educationarium in the pre-megacity days. However, it came to include a significant area of housing (and supporting shops) to the south of the original zoo. In 891, the zoo itself was relocated some distance to the north, into what is now <address>[1]</address>.
The sector now known as Heart City is mostly residential, and is an irregularly-shaped sprawl between A35 and A65. It has relatively few streets for vehicular access, mostly leading to internal parking areas near the base of some of Magellan's oldest super-skyscrapers. Four of these buildings, each a half mile across, comprise 90% of the sector's living space (as well as stretching through a dozen sectors up above). The pedestrianised districts of Heart City are more easily accessible through a well-organised network of cable-cars (each capable of carrying up to 6 people, and with a simple control system allowing the passengers to switch it between horizontal and vertical cable loops at a junction).
Heart City has roads and glideways connecting it with <address>Tower, Forges, [2] (both the Old Bridgeport and Countryside sub-sectors) and Bells to the north, and Tunnel, Riding Street and [3] to the south.</address>
