The city switches on at
3:17 AM
Sixty seconds of windows, routes and trains. Then it lets go.
The city is asleep. A few rooms never are.
What if a city existed for only one minute every night?

The light logic on this page borrows loosely from NASA's VIIRS Day–Night Band and the Black Marble nighttime-lights products — the observations that let us read a city by how it glows after midnight: dense cores, thinning arteries, a scatter of rooms that never go dark.
This city is fictional. No real place is depicted, nothing here is live data, and no feed is being read. Every minute is generated fresh in your browser, so the sequence you saw was yours alone.
