==History==
== 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 [[First Destruction of New York City|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 System|tube transport]] network, and ethnic neighborhoods like China Town and Little Italy have been joined by [[New New York#Little Neptune|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==
== 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.

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.

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.

New New York City
Nnyc.png
LocationEarth
First appearance"Space Pilot 3000" (1ACV01)
Episode

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.

Also, the scene where Fry is saved by Leela from the Organ Dealer and his accomplice is similar to when Obi-Wan Kenobi saves Luke Skywalker from Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba.


New New York Sewers

Demographics

Neptunians are among the most notable Alien immigrants.
Robots are among the poorest in society.

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 are an exception: They have to live segregated from the rest of society in New New York Sewers.

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 aliens are among the wealthiest citizens 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, live segregated from the rest of the world, and appear dirty, poor, and unhealthy to beings living above New New York Sewers, this sub-society consist of a wide range of white collar (doctors, teachers, etc.) and blue collar workers.

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.

First Appearance: "A Flight to Remember"
Name Reference: South Street Seaport is a locale in contemporary New York.

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.

Environment

Owls at the Planet Express entrance.
See Pests.

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—although greatly diminished in number—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.

  • Central Bureaucracy as an example of Minimalism.

  • Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium is a Postmodern building.

  • The Planet Express headquarters leans towards the Populuxe style.
