Alright, so this was done on request, I mentionied this Idea to attacfish, who asked for a write-up. So here it is (sorry it took so long, ended up balooning to 11k words, and this was finals week.) To start off, this is not a fully designed universe, and it’s probably not going to ever get turned into a story, I have to much unfinished to start.

Just based on these descriptions, I'm imagining the following

The Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom are pretty much dead on, all the earth kingdom building are more or less made out of earthbendable material (easier to make, keeps better). I love both the gang selection of the wealthy hiding their wealth.

Every new building in the Middle ring has to be made in traditional stile (or at least look like they were made in it) and then there are the “culturally important” buildings. To change anything on or in those building you will have to walk thru a smaller mountain of paperwork and permits, and they also effect how you haw to plane the buildings around them, after all the Cultural ministry can not allow the skyscrapers to shadow them all the day. Oh, and nearly all the houses and other structures in the Upper ring have the “culturally important” stamp. This should lead to that many corporations don’t build up, they build down. After all when you can
