What book is this in?! It's COOL!
Your speculations on the walking machine-city of Ambulon
It's in the corebook, in the Calixis chapter, under Scintillia, not a lot of information is given though 
Although upper class areas capable of freezing people to death do sound fun

Yup, the core book dose have some nice nuggets tucked away... though I think you've gotten part of Tarsus mixed up with Ambulon ;-)

Oop! My bad! I'm still plunkin' away at the core book, so I'm not there yet. I'll look for it.

So I do ^^
If you're a fan of the concept of Ambulon, I'd definitely recommend the Mortal Engines books (Hungry city chronicles in the US).
Hell, I'd recommend them anyway. They are some fantastic books.
I guess everyone's noticed the pun in Ambulon's name though?
Is it Amble-on?
Hope so, that'd make me feelc lever after spending an hour failing to do a Rubiks Cube :@
The fact that Ambulon is ambulatory? 
And what Cyclocius said.
See also: ambulant, itinerant, nomadic, perambulant, perambulatory, peripatetic, roving, vagabond, vagrant.

Another Ambulon story comes to mind.
A few months ago I ran a campaign where a rogue faction of tech-priests attempted to make a cogitation engine so powerful it could contain the mind of the Omnissiah. Phase two of their Heresy was going to involve building/finding a body worthy of such a mind. Ambulon might be a good place to install such a thing.
it could be the squats that made it!
