Presenting multiple ideas for the type of place this could be:
Solarpunk:
Similar to a test being conducted in Missouri, the colony would have solar-powered panels for citizens to walk and drive on. The panels would light up in strategic areas at night and power the adjacent buildings.
Tall buildings are built to maximize roof and patio space, terraced to include sustainable sources of food and oxygen.
Liberal use of renewable sources for fabrics, such as linen and hemp, dominate the fashion choices. Art nouveau-inspired design choices and liberal use of stained glass dominate the look.

Dystopian:
Fingerprints or other unique identifiers are required when entering the premises, for the purpose of tracking purchases and linking them with individual users. This is so that targeted advertising may be placed on nearby billboards and signs by computer systems that are tracking the citizens' every move.
Building projects have been expanded underground, leading to the slums of the city being located below the powerful banks and other large businesses. The leadership basically denies there's any trouble with this, though the poor who live there suffer from mold-borne illnesses and lack of sunlight.
Crime is punished immediately, as people who are caught are known to be guilty because of the constant tracking of everyone's movements.
Modern:
The place where the ship docks is a large city similar to contemporary New York City. However, the trade center and the central station are combined, leading to an intensely busy trade depot with many multiple languages being spoken, currencies being traded, and people hurrying to and fro.
Outside the trade and travel hub are many other business districts—theater, restaurant, shopping, and financial, just to name a few.
Public transportation is freely available and reliable.
Possible events to include:
Underworld festival: The natives honor their belief in the specter that rules the afterlife by honoring it with a celebration in hopes they will not die in the coming year.
Paper festival: Natives write notes to their friends, relatives, and celebrities to express something they haven't told them in the last year. These notes are left taped to doorways, signposts, and other publicly accessible areas for other people to read.
Fruit festival: Natives celebrate the abundant crop of the local sweet fruit that is unknown to anyone on the Moira.
