uomilla

Uomilla is a fictional coastal town created for urban planning and world-building exercises. It is described as located on the delta of the fictitious River Lora in the northern archipelago of Nordia, with a temperate maritime climate. The town covers about 35 square kilometers and has a population of around 12,000 residents in contemporary planning scenarios.

Uomilla features a central mixed-use core with high-density housing, surrounded by residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and protected green spaces. The harbor area contains a functioning port with passenger ferries and a fishing fleet, while inland areas include parklands and a small river valley used for flood management.

Originally established as a planned community in the late 1990s, Uomilla was designed to test transit-oriented development, modular housing, and climate-adaptive infrastructure. It expanded gradually, incorporating new districts in the 2000s and 2010s.

Demographics in case-study materials describe a diverse population with a mix of families, students, and retirees. The local economy centers on services, education, tourism, and light manufacturing. The university-affiliated research park hosts startups.

Municipal government comprises a council and a directly elected mayor. Transportation includes a network of roads, a bus system, and a proposed light rail line. The town prioritizes pedestrian and bicycle access, with green roofs and rain gardens in new developments.

Cultural institutions include a small museum, a performing arts venue, and an annual waterfront festival. Environmental policy emphasizes flood resilience, coastal protection, and biodiversity in urban parks.
