The idea was basically at surface level (the same as the ground outside the crater) have long promenades floating a ring around the core sector that could have tower blocks built onto or hanging from them (or both), all nicely landscaped of course. Kind of like how Port Lowell is depicted in Armitage III. We could use that level (with supports) as a base for another if we go the bell-jar route on the dome (which I personally like). I was also thinking if the crater had been deeper of putting in that pyramid arcology I linked in my previous post, floating a ring round the core at about rimtop level (with the promenades as before) and building Trinity Towers on THAT. The idea was to pack as much living space as possible as dense as possible, to leave as much free space as possible for greenery (I heartily approve of the terraformaing map).
Remember, Kandor held a convention so even before things like the Towers were built it had to (at least for a week) pretty much support ALL of Fenspace. At the very least the docks have to be extensive.
Yeah, its overkill I know. But DAMN it'd look COOL.

Oh HELL YES. All the terraforming features serve recycling purposes as well as astetics. Most of the stuff is simple trial runs for the terraforming projects.
Kandor has the nickname 'The Green City' for its massively effective recycling systems (the fact it's named after a city of Krypton is incidental).
