MultipliCity
The official name of the spinning, multi-ethnic, multi-configurable, multi-faceted city in the first variable-light region of Slab.
It has countless unofficial names[1], the most common of which is 'The Spin'. It is suspended in the centre of Big Yin, runs its entire 355 Km width, rotates through 360˚ once every ten hours and is surrounded by The Valley.
The central axis, which is a carrier for three super-express crossSlab tubes, is a mega-scale representation of an idea helix.

COG
MultipliCity is not only mobile around its central core, all of the residential buildings and most of the infrastructure that hangs off the triple helix are on temporary moorings. MultipliCity is in a state of constant reconfiguration as residents and businesses move to up-trending areas. This means that the centre of gravity of the axis reflects current trends in social mobility and is therefore of interest to many who seek to be at the 'heart of things'[2].
The current COG is in Spinstanbul[3].
