New Duveland in the 21st century

Many natural disasters occurred in this time period, such as in 2003, a devastating earthquake hit Portland. It destroyed much of the cities infrastructure, homes and businesses. It has gone through a large reconstruction phase, in which, the city was built in a modern style. The New Duvian government is now trying to lower the urban population, and move more people into the countryside to increase agriculture production and also the densification of the biggest cities, centralizing the population growth in the city centres and surrounding areas.
