An aerial view of an urban area featuring numerous residential buildings, roads, parking spaces, and a railway line. The buildings exhibit modern architectural designs, predominantly with flat rooftops. A notable structure in the center appears to have a rooftop garden or recreational area. Roads are visible with a few vehicles, including buses and cars, moving through the area. Adjacent to the buildings, there are areas of green space, suggesting the presence of parks or lawns.
