I'm gonna just say it:
King's Landing is poorly designed, and there is no way 500K people would live there.
I have several issues with King's Landing...
>1. Aegon's Hill
Why is the a very steep hill right next to an estuary? That seems really unlikely land formation.
>2. Dragons
Why would people want to live next to fucking dragons? I certainly would not want to risk that. What if they lose? They can burn half the city to the ground in hours.
>3. Not understanding rivers
The area next to the Blackwater Bay is inaccessible due to hills and a wall, which only leaves a small bit next to Black Rush.
The waterways were veins of cities, that's how food came in, that's how people got rid of waste.
But somehow that small piece of Blackwater Rush is enought to:
>transport, enought food for 500K people
>for merchants from Essos to stay in
>serve shipyard for Cersei's dromonds
But somehow, this is a trading hub.
