In my opinion, it is a large-ish city
Human Environment Interaction
People adapt to the area by wearing heavy coats in the winter, thin jackets in the spiring and fall, and shorts and T-shirts in the summer. Humans are building lots of buildings on the land. At the same time people are also trying to preserve the land.
