Reconstruction in the city creates work at every stage, from finding material to running the finished business. A recovered building can become a shop with occupied rooms above it while the next bay remains unfinished. People want more than temporary survival. They want reliable services and a better life, and they can earn ownership and income by helping build those things.
A working property brings together several businesses. Lancers recover windows or equipment, haulers deliver it and specialists decide what can be repaired. Corpos organize the project, while humans and synths carry out the work under their own agreements. Power, water and customers have to arrive for the place to remain useful.
Construction continues beside ordinary family life because the city cannot wait for the whole city to be finished. There are opportunities to improve what already exists as well as reclaim another site. Each project adds capacity, creates dependencies and raises questions about who controls the result. That process is ongoing rather than a final state the city has already reached.
