Palmont City is a fictional metropolitan setting that appears in Need for Speed: Carbon. It reappears in Need for Speed: World as a part of Tri-City alongside Rockport.

Palmont City consists of the central Downtown area, southern industrial Kempton district, western Fortuna coastal region, northern casino-populated Silverton area, and the eastern city of San Juan.

All regions with the exception of San Juan are connected to Highway 142. The outer region of Palmont is surrounded by canyons which are not accessible via free roam gameplay.

The Palmont Police Department serves as the main law enforcement agency and sends patrols to each of Palmont's regions. Players find more patrolling units in territories with higher zone heat levels.
