New City refers to land which was once an elevated hill known as the ''Caeline Hill'' or ''Collis Caelius'' which had a commanding view of the [[Urce River]], the Flats, and Old City of Urceopolis. It became a natural expansion of the early city and was the site of several fortifications and large homes during the early peak of the city under [[Great Levantia]]. As the city declined, the Caelian Hill/New City area became the site of the fortified mansion of the [[Julian dynasty]] known as the [[Julian Palace|Domus Julii]]. Gradually, the home of the Julians spread out across the hill and today encompasses much of New City as the [[Julian Palace]]. The Palace and New City are home to the [[Government of Urcea]], and accordingly the borough is mostly comprised of either the Palace, various chapels and churches (including the [[Caeline Bascilia]]), or ancillary government office buildings.

New City is the only portion of Urceopolis in which automobiles are not permitted besides some government vehicles, for reasons of security, historic preservation, and pedestrian appeal. Several park and rides are available into New City from beyond the Via Corona, with Archcathedral Rapid Transit lines running into the Flats near entrances of New City.
