History
Prior to the events of the series, the only land that stood where Big City currently lies today was farmland belonging to Alice Green and her descendants. However, she sold the land to a man named Mr. Quisling, who then sold the land to land developers, who built the city around the Green's House ("Greens' Acres"). Alice, living her quiet country life, was there to see Big City being built all around her, which is why she disliked it ("Tilly Tour").
Prior to its expansion, Big City was accessible through bridge (from the segment of the country where the Green's house was located). Now, with a population of 3.2 million, it has grown to a pretty decent size.
