In terms of size, Duststar city wasn't even up to half of Calton city, making Blake's journey to the central region quick.
Unlike Calton city which was divided into 3 regions, Duststar city only had 2; Normal region and Central region.
There was little to no difference between what was meant to be the slums and the middle region, but the moment Blake's carriage entered the central region, it was like going from 0 to 100 in a second.
Most of the buildings in the central region consisted of luxurious manors and beautiful story buildings that made the marginalization of the commoners outrightly clear.
Blake didn't have any issues with the buildings in the central region being beautiful because those of Calton was even better. The problem he had was that the living conditions of the commoners were below standard.
"I wonder if this is the same thing in other cities?" Blake thought.
