====Harborside====
====Harborside====
Harborside is the city's beating commercial heart. It is known for its gleaming skyscrapers that house international corporations and financial institutions, while bustling port facilities hum with activity below. Luxury hotels cater to business travelers, and trendy restaurants line the waterfront promenade next to the port. Harborside is built on a grid and is very orderly. It was redeveloped in the later 20th century after the port moved from the [[Vilauristre#The_Quays|The Quays]] to its current location. The port authority sold off the parcels to only a select clientele and were later accused of redlining. Today Harborside is viewed as the pinnacle of modernity in Vilauristre. It is endemic with [[Art Nouveau in Burgundie|Neo Art Nouveau architecture]].

====The Quays====
====The Quays====
Edgy and artistic, The Quays is a haven for Vilauristre's creative class. Art galleries, independent boutiques, and converted warehouses-turned-studios line the cobbled streets. Street performers add vibrancy, while open-air cafes buzz with intellectual discourse. The neighborhood attracts young professionals and established artists, but rising rents and gentrification threaten its bohemian charm. This is a old part of the city with small winding roads that have survived the aagressive urban planning efforts of the city throughout the 19th, 20th, and the 21st centuries.
