Umber City Department Of Planning & Development
The Basics
Location: Umber City
Type: Government Building
Hours: Standard government rhythm—9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Mornings are a rush of coffee and meetings, afternoons a haze of paperwork and political whispers. At night, the building looms dark over the city, its windows like watchful eyes.
Vibe: Mid-century modern civic authority. Bronze glass, wood panels, and brass trim holding the weight of Umberland’s growth. It’s where blueprints become law, where plans are drafted, revised, and debated into permanence.
Nickname: Just “The Department.” Folks say it with a mix of respect and side-eye. Some add, “You know how The Department do.”
Pride Point: This is the brain of Umber City. Roads, bridges, zoning, preservation—if it shapes Umberland, it passes through here first.
Who Gathers Here: Architects, city planners, public officials, interns with coffee-stained maps, and anyone trying to wrangle bureaucracy into motion.
Atmosphere: Cinematic and commanding—brass, wood, terrazzo, and amber light. The air feels like secrets are stored in the walls, decisions echo in the hallways, and the skyline outside is always watching.
Unspoken Rule: Come prepared. Half-done plans or sloppy arguments don’t last here. This is a place that remembers every mistake—in ink, on record, forever.
