However, while the corporate areas of the supercity are well looked after, the commercial strip suffers from petty crime issues as a result of CorpSec's long response time due to the size of the high-street.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Located next to Denon's capital, District 1, District 2 is an incredibly large business-oriented supercity that is often considered as one of the planet's primary economic hubs thanks to the incredible amount of both small and large businesses, as well as the large commercial spaceport located within.
Although the architecture of the district is consistently up-to-date, District 2 has a strong history of commerce thanks to its long-standing spaceport which had been refurbished several times, paving the way for businesses to set up stores and offices nearby with relative ease.
As the district grew, the Supercity Speedway was constructed to support the amount of speeder traffic the district was struggling with, offering a 'safer,' more efficient and significantly faster method of travel through the city. The Speedway runs alongside the commercial strip and around the city before branching into the residential areas connecting the district to its surrounding districts.
As a supercity, District 2 is separated into three parts; the city interior which houses the commercial and corporate sectors, the Ring Ward which separates the interior and exterior while providing residences for Denon's rich & wealthy, and the city exterior which houses all residential areas of the district.
District 2's Supercity Speedway runs a full circle along the Ring Ward with a single speedway through the centre of the city and several exits heading to the exterior in all directions. The High-Street is an incredibly long street that cuts straight through the South, South-West & Western part of the Trade Square in a straight line, housing an incredible amount of shops, hospitality venues and District 2's commercial spaceport.
