The maximum population for each HC is set at people. (More about the HC/NJK population is discussed here). At that number the city will have a total surface area of km2 [ km X km] ( [statute] mi2 [ mi X mi]). This area is arrived at due to the fact that the portion on the city which will be inhabited- the Habitable Lots (see below)- is based on it being composed of sections of square feet each. (Biblically speaking, a perfect square!) This results in this "Habitable Lots" having an area of hectares ( acres) or km2 ( mi2). The total surface area mentioned above includes the Seas, (Service Road) and Ports areas (see below).
The Holy City is laid out in 7 concentric areas as it is seen in the following drawing.
Each of these Areas are further discussed in the next section.
Area Comparison
The final, total size of the Holy City of
km2
( mi2 )
ranks in between the size of the islands of
Mauritius
(cf.) 2,040 km2 (788 mi2 ) and
Reunion
(cf.) 2,512 km2 (970 mi2 ).

of what the physical size of each HC will be).
