  **Match Theme to City Character**

  Choose themes that complement the city's cultural identity:

  * Mediterranean cities: `terracotta`, `warm_beige`, `sunset`
  * Asian cities: `japanese_ink`, `neon_cyberpunk`
  * Coastal cities: `ocean`, `blueprint`
  * Modern cities: `noir`, `midnight_blue`, `contrast_zones`
</Tip>

<Note>
  **Distance Selection**

  * **4,000-6,000m**: Small/dense cities (Venice, Marrakech medina)
  * **8,000-12,000m**: Medium cities, downtown focus (Paris, Barcelona)
  * **15,000-20,000m**: Large metros, full city view (Tokyo, Mumbai, London)
