In Lide's plan, the future Dawn City was definitely not going to be the same size as it is now.
It might even expand by several times.
Therefore, when allocating land, he reserved an area of five kilometers in length for future use, which he predicted might be needed very soon given the current pace of development.
He was already setting his sights on five years from now.
Currently, Dawn City could accommodate approximately twenty thousand humans and three thousand of the Bloodline for residence, and reaching this number had already saturated the city.
Although there are only a little over 3000 people in the city now, Lide projected that the population would reach 6000 to 8000 this year, and by next year after another year of development, the population would reach the full capacity of twenty thousand.
By then, planning new districts would be somewhat too late, so it was better to plan out the new districts in advance to avoid the rush when the time came.
