Red Brick District
The main design idea behind the Red Brick district of the city was elevation and crawl space, giving the player mutliple options to go through houses and the streets. The image above is a good showcase of elevation in the level as there is a physical higher part to the level (and access to one of the roof tops), as well as wooden platforms the player can use to keep themselves elevated.
In this image you can see how crawl spaces are spread throughout the streets, these are the 2 closest crawl spaces on the streets themselves, but houses are also connected by these spaces. This allows players to quickly escape either by climbing the rooftops or by crawling underneath the houses. Giving them an escape route to being chased.
This is how the entirety of the district looks from above. The market is used as a bridge to the second district (as an open area would be hard for a player to traverse). Meanwhile the third area (on the right) does have an open area, making it hard to reach in the early game when not a lot of enemies are infected. Gating it of for the later part of the game (as this is the hardest area).
