At the start of all of the City Books, there's always a bit of a description about the cities and what it means to be there. How that city affects the game. I'll start it out, and you add your bits:

Adelaide is a young city, especially by Kindred standards, that has only recently left its childhood behind to begin a tumultuous adolescence.

Relaxingly quiet, contented city. A really big (by Australian capital standards) small town.

Adelaide is Patrick Bateman. Cultured, refined, successful, and just waiting for the opportunity to take a fire-axe to that prostitute's neck.

Adelaide is Tyler Durden. It gets under your skin. Before you know it you're ramming some guys head into concrete, and it feels good.

Adelaide is Jigsaw. It knows that you're bad, it's just waiting to see how far you'll go.

2025! To ensure Adelaide remains interesting, and in keeping with the population leap, I'm going to be researching and adding some of the plans for 2025 and making it that they've already happened. After all, Adelaide’s population is forecast to grow to between 1.2 and 1.4 million by 2025 but in WoD, the populations beaten that and gone to 1.8.

Newport Quays – a $2 billion urban redevelopment project transforming 50 hectares of waterfront land over a 10 year period into homes, marinas, offices, restaurants, cafés, parks and promenade walks for more than 4,000 new residents.

Transport Infrastructure – completion of the $180m Port River Bridges and the Port River Expressway.

Techport Australia – development and expansion of Australia’s premier naval industry hub at nearby Osborne, home to the $8 billion Air Warfare Destroyer construction project and other shipbuilding and repair opportunities.

Extension of light rail services from Adelaide's CBD to Port Adelaide and Semaphore – due for completion in 2018.

Under the State Government's proposed 30-year Plan for Greater Adelaide, the Port has been nominated as a priority location for new transit-oriented development activity – providing a concentrated mixture of uses at increased densities around transport nodes.

The Adelaide Airport terminal is approximately 850 metres (2,790 ft) end to end and is capable of handling 31 aircraft, including the Airbus A380, simultaneously and processing 3,500 passengers per hour. It includes high amenity public and airline lounges, 16 glass-sided aerobridges, 45 common user check-in desks and 34 shop fronts. Free wireless Internet is also provided throughout the terminal by Internode Systems, a first for an Australian airport.
