New New York is a major city in the United States and the primary setting of the hit cartoon TV series Futurama. New New York is the reincarnation of the former New York City, remnants of which can still be found underground.
Overview[]
In this city live the Planet Express' crew and their friends, a city populated by humans, robot and aliens.
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 Chinatown 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 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.
Government[]
The government of New New York is very centralized. It is responsible for public education, correctional institutions, libraries, public safety, recreational facilities, sanitation, water supply and welfare services. Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer is the elected mayor of New New York and has filled this function since at least the year 3000.
