Character
Alderney City is urban centre of Alderney, considered as Alderney's biggest and most dense neighborhood, with a population of approximately 300,000. It can be divided into three distinct areas: Downtown, Koreatown, and Riverside. Downtown is made up of towering skyscrapers of offices and high rise apartments buildings, such as the National Newark Building as well as large commercial shopping areas. Koreatown is a small area that mainly runs along Hubbard Ave, and is home to many of Alderney City's Korean residents and businesses such as Mr. Fuk's Rice Box. Riverside is located along the coast of the West River, giving an amazing view of Algonquin from the area. It's a lot like the downtown half, containing offices, high-rises, and other large buildings. The Italian Mafia, specifically the Pavano Family and Pegorino Family, control the area, mainly the Pavano's now since the fall of the Pegorinos. The Korean Mob have a heavy gang influence in Alderney City.

Influences
Alderney City contains elements of Newark (New Jersey's largest city), Jersey City (New Jersey's second largest city and where Alderney City's namesake is derived from), and Fort Lee (The Korean Influence seen in some areas). A lot of the buildings in Alderney City are landmarks taken from the Downtown & Ironbound Districts of Newark, along with landmarks taken from the Downtown & Journal Square Districts of Jersey City.
Fort Lee is a town with a large Korean population and is actually located far north of both Jersey City & Newark, but reasons for including it within Alderney City is mainly because the George Washington Bridge, being remodeled as the Hickey Bridge in GTA IV starts in Fort Lee. This fact must have been considered by the map artists and programers and created Koreatown within Alderney City to act as Fort Lee.
