As a general rule, we don't italicize or bold face the work type headings in example lists. So it would be [[AC:Literature]], not '''''Literature'''''.

We also don't divide examples into "Type 1", "Type A" and so on (see Administrivia/TypeLabelsAreNotExamples) because it causes tropers writing examples to say things like "Half of Cairo in the ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' universe is a Type 1 arcology". Instead, use a descriptive name such as the ones you have following the "Type 0, Type 1" (etc.) above.

And some examples.

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* LarryNiven and Jerry Pournelle's ''Oath of Fealty''. The arcology of Todos Santos is located just outside Los Angeles and has a somewhat hostile relationship with the city. It's a Green Metropolis and City of Tomorrow type.
* LarryNiven and Steven Barnes' ''The California Voodoo Game''. The title Dream Park game takes place inside the MIMIC (Meacham Incorporated Mojave Industrial Community), which was built during the 1990's. It was so badly damaged by The Quake that it had to be abandoned. It was later acquired by Dream Park and used as the basis for the Barsoom Project - the {{terraform}}ing of Mars.

[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* Classic ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}'', ''Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society'' issue 15. In the article "Azun", the title planet has a population of 26 billion, which has forced them to put most of the population in arcologies. They are of the Green Metropolis and The Lonely City types.
