New New York

New New York is a major city in the United States and the primary setting of Futurama. New New York is the reincarnation of the former New York City, remnants of which can still be found underground.

History
In the year 3000, the name of the city of New York City has been changed to New New York, presumably when it was rebuilt after one of Earth's periods of alien invasion. The city of New New York is built upon the ruins of Old New York. The city has seen some changes: the subways have been replaced with a tube transport network, and ethnic neighborhoods like China Town and Little Italy have been joined by Little Neptune. But in many ways it has not changed much in 1000 years: locals are still rude, public transportation is over-crowded, and it is a place where many cultures mingle.

Geography
New New York is located in the Northeastern United States on Earth, approximately halfway between Washington D.C. and Boston. The location at the Hudson River delta, which feeds into a naturally sheltered harbor and then into the Atlantic Ocean, has helped the city grow in significance as a trading city. Much of the city is built on the three islands of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island, which are built above the Old New York, making land scarce and encouraging a high population density. The city's land has been changed considerably by human intervention, with substantial land reclamation along the waterfronts.

Manhattan
Hell's Laboratory

First Appearance: "A Clone of My Own" Name Reference: New York has a real neighborhood called "Hell's Kitchen"  Description: "The nerdiest slum in New New York," Hell's Lab is where the Professor grew up.

Little Bitaly First Appearance: "Bender Gets Made" Name Reference: Refers to Little Italy, a neighborhood in New York. As well as bits, the smallest unit of memory in computer, and thereby robotic, systems. Description: A robot neighborhood in NNY, also the home of the Robot Mafia.

Little Neptune First Appearance: "My Three Suns" Name Reference: An immigrant neighborhood, like Little Italy or Chinatown  Description: A seedy neighborhood inhabited largely by Neptunian immigrants. It seems to be a somewhat vague reference to scene in. Both seem seedy, have a menagerie of robot and alien denizens, and both feature the main characters going into a place that sell food. Also, the scene where Fry is saved by Leela from the Organ Dealer and his accomplice is similar to when saves  from  and.

New New York Sewers
City of Sewer Mutants

First Appearance: "Space Pilot 3000" Description: A locale with two distinct areas: the ruins of Old New York and the city of Sewer Mutants. This is where we can find Leela's Parents, seems as Leela was first to be thought of as an alien mutant but infact is the daughter of two mutants that didn't want such a beautiful baby to grow up in the sewers. There has been the sign that the sewers links to Old New York via the old sewers of Old New York, where Fry talks to his old neibourly "friend" who is now a mutant, in the sewers of Old New York.

Old New York

First Appearance: "Space Pilot 3000" Description: It was one of the biggest cities in the world and produced more garbage than any other city. In the 31st century exists below the streets of New New York. In the episode Space Pilot 3000, it shows the Aliens destroying the whole of New york (later realising bender was the cause of this) and leaving nothing behind, however as you see in the picture to the left, it is almost exactly the same, just in ruins.

Demographics
New New York is still one of the most diverse cities on earth. Throughout its history, the city has been a major point of entry for human immigrants; the term melting pot was first coined to describe densely populated immigrant neighborhoods. During the last 1000 years, robots (among them Bending Units), aliens (among them Neptunians and Decapodians), and mutants also began to settle down in New New York and live in peaceful coexistence with each other. Sewer mutants were an exception until 3010. They used to live segregated from the rest of society in New New York Sewers and members of the upper class lobbied government officials to keep the status quo. However, in 3010 campaigns of civil resistance aimed at achieving equal rights for mutants caused the end of segregation.

Most of the population of New New York lives in apartments. Only a few can afford real estates. The city's population still has a large income disparity that applies to human beings as well as aliens and robots. However, it can be observed that most of New New York's wealthiest citizens are humans and aliens, while robots are among the poorest and most criminal citizens of the society (see Robot Mafia) despite, or probably because of, their increased intelligence. Although almost all sewer mutants, except Leela, still live segregated from the rest of the world, and appear dirty, poor, and unhealthy to beings living above New New York Sewers, this society consist of a wide range of white collar (doctors, teachers, etc.) and blue collar workers. The upper class, which is approximately 1% or less of society is dominated by humans, but also aliens who are considered royal on their home planets. The main distinguishing features of this class are the ability to own celestial bodies, the immense political influence and very high life expectancy.

However, it was rebuilt, as shown in "The Prisoner of Benda".

First Appearance: "I, Roommate" Name Reference: Variant of a classic name formula, such as "King's Arms Inn" or "Garfield Arms Apartments."  Description: A high-rise apartment community that caters to Robot residents. Home to Bender and Fry. Most rooms are little more than 2 cubic meter storage units, as robots require little more than a place to recharge. Bender seems to have lucked into (or pays extra for) a room with a massive closet, which itself has multiple rooms and a large window.

Climate
Since the 21st century, New New York's climate has not significantly changed. In the 31st century, most greenhouse gases are caused by robots, but the human population has found ways to deal with global warming. The city still has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are typically hot and humid and winters are cold, featuring prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore and somewhat minimize the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Technically because Amy Wong reversed the earth's rotation in 3010, the wind blows onshore therefore moderating New New York's climate significantly yet a change in climate was never actually mentioned.

Environment


Pests remain a problem in the future. In an effort to fight the rat and pigeon problem, owls were introduced. However, they soon filled the ecological niche becoming the most prevalent pest of New New York. Cockroaches have reached the size of human beings, rats&mdash;although greatly diminished in number&mdash;can be seen in the New York Sewers. Despite the introduction of the owl to New New York, pigeons are still present, albeit with a greatly diminished population.

Other species have arrived in New New York, among them golden marmosets who, like owls, have been introduced to fight pests, harmless land squids, toilet snails and wall gophers.

Architecture
The building form most closely associated with New New York City is the skyscraper, whose introduction and widespread adoption saw New York buildings shift from the low-scale European tradition of the 19th century to the vertical rise of business districts in the 20th century to the vertical rise of apartments in the 30th century.

The late 30th century faced a revival of the Populuxe or Googie style which shape the skyline of New New York in the 31st century. Various devices and architecture are similar to this form of architecture that originated in the mid-20th century. Upswept roofs, curvaceous, geometric shapes, steel and neon, and bold use of glass are some of the most notable characteristics of Populuxe architecture. Other buildings are inspired by the Minimalist movement such as Central Bureaucracy. Objects are reduced to their necessary elements, in this case a cube. Madison Cube Garden is also minimalist while many other buildings are examples of Postmodern architecture which incorporates several styles of architecture.

Neoclassical architecture has also returned in the future, as seen with the rebuilt Museum of Natural History and the New New York Public Library, mimicking their original old New York forms. More traditional low-scale neighborhoods akin to the brownstone townhouses of New York's Greenwich Village also appear, one of which apparently belongs to Hermes and his family.

A handful of historic old New York landmarks seem to have been salvaged and kept for modern usage (instead of them rotting in the sewers), including a retrofitted Brooklyn Bridge designed for hover-cars.

Parks
New New York offers several large recreational areas and attractions open to the public. Although Central Park is not directly shown in the episodes, the Jurassic Kiddie Park reveals that the Central park is still present in the 31st century. Jurassic Kiddie Park, which is aimed at children, offers rides on a living Tyrannosaurus Rex. People are also able to feed the carnivore with pigs for 5&cent;. Monument Beach is a man-made beachside park in New New York that boasts a collection of many of the world's greatest monuments, stolen by an evil supervillain who was elected Governor of New New York. Some of the greatest monuments are the Sphinx, the White House (which was apparently rebuilt in Washington, D.C.), the leaning tower of Pisa, the Mo'ai statues, and a slightly altered Mount Rushmore.
