Furthermore, the interiors of the buildings are disorganized and haphazardly decorated this can be seen by the random layout of furniture and indoor amenities. As Crane explores the buildings in the slums, it becomes clear that very few people could've lived within these homes the rooms are cramped, perhaps indicating that small families would've inhabited them. The slums are unsophisticated, ramshackled and in need of improvement.

There is a marked difference between the architecture of the Old Town which is classically designed, with tall buildings and open plazas. After the outbreak, its inhabitants were forced to construct make-shift repairs and defences onto their homes in order to repel the invading zombies. It's evident that the slum's buildings are decrepit, low-quality and collapsing in many cases. Having said that, gecekondu districts exist all around Turkey, so it could simply be a representation of the overall state of the country, not a particular nod to any one area. Although we aren't told whether Harran relates to a specific city, it's most likely to be Istanbul, given it's size and variance in the prosperity of different neighbourhoods. Gecekondu is a Turkish word meaning 'put up overnight' and could be used to describe the rudimentary housing within Dying Light's slums. The percentage of people in Turkey living in slums and shanty towns has decreased since the 1990's, though thousands of children experience terrible poverty within the countrie's capital. There are several slums within Istanbul, with poverty being a prevalant issue faced by the city. Harran is probably a recreation of Istanbul. The city of Harran is a fictional city which is meant to exist in Turkey. Two main factions are now there, The Tower and Rais's Bandits. It was supposed to be 'Two multi-family residential located in New Town', and is evident that the slums were to be converted into 'New Town'. Sometime in 2014, the Slums came under an 'Urban Renewal' building scheme called the 'Harran Redevelopment Project', where the project started with the The Tower. A low classed neighborhood, cheap housing and a poor district, the slums are the worst living district of the city. Before the globalization due to new oil discoveries and the Harran Global Athletics, this area of Harran is named aptly so: as it is essentially a slum.
