Shore City

Shore City is a major oceanic city located off the western coast of North America, near Bay City. It is part of the state of Oregon. The city has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate due to its geographical location. Due to the city's unique multilevel construction, it employs a complex network of computer-controlled sluice gates in order to manage tidal flows and prevent flooding. The city features its own monorail-type metro system, which is suspended below the main platforms but above sea level. Construction of the city began in 2181 and completed in 2195, with numerous setbacks. It currently has a population of 4.3 million people, making it the most populous fully oceanic city on Earth.

The city was built to be navigable by Calamity Mitigation titan mechs for defence from hostile subsea anomalies; massive, house-sized buttons are present throughout the city which were intended to allow mech operators to control the sluice system. This design decision, which was intended to be part of a next generation anomaly-proofing initiative for oceanic cities, was criticised as an overengineering disaster and has never as of yet been used by Raven.
