Small river that roars (with industry)

This is where Balgrey River widens into its minidelta entering Yahalma River in Miklasgard. The delta in the late 19th century has been made into a Balgrahaven (Belgravia) port, an impressively huge river multi-modal port served by a cargo airport, hundred of railroad tracks, truck terminals, transshipment barge docks, and manufacturer's private docks - like auto assembly plants, chemical, aircraft, steel and other industries. Balgrahaven neighborhood's residential high rises are in the backdrop. These are modest test buildings for what is now called superblocks, or skyblocks, each a home to 4-10 thousand residents. The tower on the left is an apartment house -residential hotel. - Now I stand corrected - it is an automated parking tower, the photo below is the view of an interior.
