The center of the city was dominated by LMC's administrative headquarters buildings: four glittering, metallic towers that had been constructed from the best of the company's products. The towers housed the company's top leadership and Demar's governmental offices. LMC's Research and Design departments were among the towers in the center of the city.
The next layer out from the center was the business and commerce area. It contained many offices, markets, hotels, and entertainment centers.
In two quarters of the outer ring, many large industrial and refinery buildings were spread among smaller factories. Sandwiched between the industrial areas, in the other two quarters of the outer circle, were large residential areas with apartment complexes of decent quality. Located outside of the city were the standard class starport and the Imperial Garrison.
Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, the LMC had been experiencing a decline in production that drastically affected Janos and the Demar system. As a result, the housing areas were often overfilled and many of the factories in the industrial area were abandoned and decaying. In addition, many unemployed miners could be found begging, looking for work or trying to get off-world at the starport.
