I am curious what Arcologies and the big Cities are like in the year 2070 according to SR. I ask this more in the interest of RPing and visualizing it as I play.

How big are the cities now? Are they not much bigger then they are now or big multi-tiered levels with its own roads and monorails and flying vehicels?

How high is the general tech here, is it like Blade Runner lvl where msg drones and cargo drones go around doing basic runs without need of humans and you have ground and even flying taxies for those who can afford it?

How big are the Arcologies, how many people in general do they hold? What kind of forces in general do they have protecting them from the stanadard security to high lvl teams?

I know in sci fi books where I first read about Arcologies over 20 years ago, an Arcology was massive in and of itself, a city on its own, so I am curious how big they are in SR since places like Seattle are only so big.

Is it more like Mini Arcologies within a massive Arcology of a big multi tiered city that once you get past the boundaries it suddenly drops to urban then run down sprawls?

I am just trying to get a better picture of it for game play visual in my head.

They just don't seem very descriptive yet and I get mixed impressions at the moment.

So any thoughts on this will be welcome.
