Districts of Star lake
Star lake is the city in which Blackrose Academy is built on. The city was originally a small spot on the way to the school but has grown into a vast city sprawling acorss the island like a weed. The city has been divided into four Zones, each one housing the different districts of the city itself.
Codex

Each of the four zones has a different purpose and reason. Within each zone the districts will reflect each other and will rarely if ever conflict. These zones are sort of a pecking order within the city. If you have a business it goes into a certain zone in a certain district. Deviate form that and your business may be moved without your concent or shut down.
Zone 1
Waterfront District
Warehouse District
Entertainment District
Business District
Zone 2
Residential District
Temple District
Zone 3

Guildhall District
Academy District
Park District
Zone 4
Civic District

While I like the sectino posts, I am less inclined about this.
On the introduction I would like to see a bit of history or at least an explanation as to why the city has such urban planning. The school does not seem to be 'in charge' of the city, the city seems independent. The who, whats, and how of who is in charge and how do they stay that way would be nice.
Wil lstrive to repair this undersight.
A good collection of locations along with their theme... the only question that comes to mind is, why is there such a big pressure for everything to stay in line? Who has decided what will be in each district, and why? What happens with the hard-to-categorize establishments?
(Note: add a few of those that would like, or have stepped behind the lines, stories of what happened to them, or how did they avoid being removed - there must be such people.)
I didn't even see this yesterday.
I originally found an overview from some author for TSR about defining a city by zones to make it faster and easier to detail out. It was I would say a 30 page PDF of what should go where in a city and such. It looks very linear on paper but isn't as linear when you see it say for instance in a map format.
Even so to answer part of your question. It is linear in this way because the place was originally built by those wanting to teach and such teachers liking order preffered to have it in a manner to make it easier to deal with. Whether it was a wise choice or not is left up to historians as the original design of the city happens centuries ago.
There will be stories about the darker side soon.
