Seattle

"Seattle rose from the ashes of the Collapse by building onward and upward. Pillars were erected in the city of the old city, continue and to raise itself up. Upper Seattle was constructed on a platform laid on these pillars, with Lower Seattle nestled safely beneath, and an Inclinator connectin the two levels."

Seattle is one of the cities visited by Alex Denton in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Background
After 2052 and the Collapse, Seattle chose not to raze its ruins and the city had been divided into two parts, the new rebuilt part called Upper Seattle and the old ruins called Lower Seattle, which became a haven for looters, raiders and those rejected by society, both connected by a massive elevator that carries people and objects between the two parts called the Inclinator.

In 2071, Seattle's WTO charter was ratified to the dismay of many Lower Seattle citizens and the Upper Seattle became a WTO-controlled enclave, became to prospered and became the home to world-class facilities like the Mako Ballistics weapons lab (must be accessed by aircraft) and the one of the Tarsus academies. While Upper Seattle is largely successful and has a thriving economy (albeit controlled by the Illuminati) most of Lower Seattle lives in poverty.
