Why the Alleys Had to Be Narrower Than the Factories

It is not one large factory but many workshops handling divided processes that shape the alley. Mullae's narrow paths are not inefficiency — they are a map of division of labor.

First-time visitors to Mullae often wonder how trucks manage to move through such narrow alleys. The answer lies in this neighborhood's own way of producing things.

Not one large factory, but many small lots

Production in Mullae is not handled by one large factory covering every process, but by many workshops spread across small lots, each taking on a different step such as cutting, welding or painting Estimate. Small lots mean small buildings, and the paths between buildings narrow accordingly.

Trucks and forklifts connecting the process

What actually fills these narrow paths is not visitors but trucks and forklifts carrying semi-finished goods. Metal cut in one workshop moves to another to be welded, then finishes somewhere else. Because the alley itself is the route of this movement, pedestrians should walk with respect for this working traffic.
