'''Green cities''' are in good shape and have moderate governments and most likely will have power being independently generated. They have a decent agricultural system in place for producing food and may have water purification. They have a functioning law system, decent economic situation and defense against the undead. Little to no outbreaks, with the majority living a lower middle class life style.

To make a living city, fortify a town or city, preferably with lots of viable accommodations and natural defenses. Build a fence, wall, pit or other easily defensible security perimeter. Attempt to secure as large as possible stockpiles of weapons and food.

Line 17:
Zombies are beginning to overrun cities, towns, states and even countries. As the world you know is crumbling around you, you realize that in the sea of chaos, order can save you like a life boat. How you set up this life boat will be crucial to your survival. Banding what is left of your town together will definitely help. Your always safer with someone watching your back, and cooperation means more dead z's and more live us. Set up fortifications around a defensive perimeter. Make the size of they perimeter in proportion with your needs and defensive capabilities. If you bite of more than you can chew, the zombies may have similar problems. Use a fense, pit, wall, or whatever you can find to keep the undead out. Now that the outside is dealt with and the resources pooled, like all the guns, ammo, food and bottled water in the town, you need to make sure things are good inside.

Very rarely will a living city survive on stored and stockpiled food. Even if you can successfully fortify a city, if you can not produce essentias to keep you alive, you might as well throw yourself to the living dead. Farming is a must. Rain catchers, and if on the coast, desaltion machines will be extraordinarily useful. KEEPING THE CITIZENS FED IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS KEEPING THEM SAFE. Rescue, if it will ever come, shall take years. Until that day comes, you must be able to form a self sufficient community. America`s vast wealth is a result of vast resources, over even vaster lands. After zombies seize most of that land, you will find yourself a lot poorer. Remember, take advantage of every resource mother earth gives you, you will never regret it. If Your settlement had a lead or steel mine inside, get it operational. If you live on great farmland, farm, if you live on the cost of a river, lake or ocean, learn how to fish, if there a game reserve, hunt. If you have a gun and ammo factory, get it running. Take advantage of absolutely everything! You will also need an army or police force. Make sure it is loyal or well equipped, and loyal to the city.

Overrun or abandoned AVOID AT ALL COST! Even if you think there may be supplies, loot and/or survivors, these areas be likely overrun by the undead as well as conventional hazards such as disease, collapsed buildings and radiation. If you are fleeing another outbreak it is always better to waste supplies traveling around the city than cutting through it. If for what ever reason you choose to disregard this advice then ''never'' travel at night, if possible move through the city between dawn and dusk. DO NOT STOP FOR LOOT! The only time it is acceptable to enter a preciously declared dead city, or white zone, is after it has been declared safe, even then always be on your guard.
