This city is where the rebellion would begin, there's a unique room hidden away from the Combine, this is where Dr. Kleiner, Barney Calhoun, and Alyx Vance typically run rebel operations, there's also a small teleporter.

Route Canal - A massive sewer system that runs under City 17, used frequently by rebels for listening post or supply runs. The sewers also lead into the wasteland where a major decrease of Combine forces are. Route Canal was once filled with water but has sense become nothing more but ponds due to the Combine harvesting large amounts of Earth's recourses.
