Ask the Author; Zootopia's Districts and Climates


 

WT: Honestly...yes and no. I only have some of the districts placed and named, because I largely tried to stay on book with the maps of Zootopia I've seen floating around that are official, and I don't think they ever actually display all '12 unique districts and ecosystems”. I'm not sure if certain things are considered separate districts within districts either, at least in a canonical sense. For instance, the 'Rainforest District' has no separation from the 'canal district', at least on the map. So are they one district or two? And presumably the climate is the same, so is that not a factor in splitting districts? Sahara Square adds more confusion as it also has something called 'the canyonlands'. And is downtown a separate district from Savannah Square, or is it just marking a specific section of it?

All that said, in terms of my own work I've had to freestyle a bit. So for the sake of clarity, I'll tell you what I have so far for my version of Zootopia.

Savannah Square and Downtown – 1 District – Mild Climate

Little Rodentia – 1 District – Mild Climate

Sahara Square and the Canyonlands – 1 District – Desert Climate

The Rainforest District and Canal District – 1 District – Tropical/humid

Tundratown – 1 District – Arctic Climate

The Meadowlands – 1 District – Grassland

The North Meadowlands – 1 District – Grassland/Rural

Alpine Glade – 1 District – Cold & Mountainous

Nocturnal District – Wet/Dark

Other Areas/Outback Island, Animalia Park – Not Districts

As you can see that's about nine districts, which leaves 3 unaccounted for. But part of me wants to leave that open so that I can possibly accommodate future lore. So yeah, that's the most information I can offer. I hope this is satisfactory.
