Would not be surprised if the Frengi have embassy in New York just so they can visit the New York stock exchange for religious reasons.

You forgot about Minsk, Worf's favorite City

A video summarizing all we know about World War III in Star Trek (canon and apocrypha) would be very interesting!

There's also the fact that Earth has biomes, parts of the surface with different environmental conditions, that are close to the other founding species homeworlds, like having the Andorions build their pre-Federation near one of the poles, the Vulcans' in the Gobi Desert, and the Telarites under Mt Everest. You'd be hard pressed to find a spot on the Vulcan home world, which is mostly roasting hot desert, that's comfortable for the arctic adapted Andorions.

I wonder if Greater Boston still has a prestigious law firm partly belonging to an apparent cousin of the Kirk family.

Broken Bow, Oklahoma - site of the first contact between Klingons and Humans.

This one is very blink and you'll miss it but in DS9 S4 E11 it is mentioned that Lisbon houses the Division of Planetary Operations which is responsible for the global power grid and presumably other things as well. The only reason I remembered this tidbit is because I'm Portuguese.

Andorians visiting the North Pole and taking holo-pictures with Santa like we would visit Disney to see Mickey Mouse is a delightful thought

If memory serves, in older Beta cannon it was the Vulcan's idea to make Earth the capitol, based on the logic that since the human population was only beginning to be unified and still had some living memory of WW3, it would make them feel better and unite more strongly since they were technologically outclassed and waffling about starting the Federation. Basically the Vulcan way of saying, "look guys, these humans are fucking _crazy_ and the smartest thing we can do is make them feel important. Otherwise, judging on their history, we'll either need to genocide them, which none of us is willing to do, or risk them becoming more terrifying than the Klingons ever were. It'd be really smart to have that kind of madmen on _our_ side."

Cambridge, UK in the TNG episode "All good things"

My hometown of Calgary, Alberta was mentioned in TNG by Wesley Crusher apparently still a skiing hotspot even though that is more west of Calgary.

There is also Pennington School in Wellington, New Zealand that Jake Sisko was going to study literature at.

Dept. Temporal Investigations - Located in the UK I wonder WHO thought of that idea?

Oxford, Mississippi: Home of Ole Miss, where Dax met Dr. McCoy

I remember reading a story somewhere that the Statue of Liberty did survive not only World War III but also the various attacks on earth including the breen attack in the dominion war - also the Ferengi usually make an extra special effort to visit The most sacred of human spots they know of…Wall Street of course!

Alice Springs, Australia, was used by pre UFP Starfleet for survival training - ENT. Also, London, United Kingdom, housed a Section 31 facility in the movie Into Darkness, ?if that is the case in the prime universe as well.

Being from Montreal, Canada, having had it mentioned many times in the books, especially those Shatner "wrote", was kind of nice to have my city mentioned.

My doctor who side smiled when I heard temporal investigations has a base in canary warf ( spelling may be off) if your a doctor who fan you should know why.

I’ve always wanted to see what the Earth cities look like in Star Trek 👀

I'd love to know about Ireland, especially since Data reckons unification here happened in 2024.

I'm guessing Detroit was only ever shown or discussed when Archer and T'Pol time travel to it.

5:59 sharp attention to detail! The novelization of _The Motion Picture_ described "Los Angeles Island" as Kirk's air tram route to San Francisco.

Timezone differences would make living in Australian and working in Paris kind of a pain…

Dakar Senegal according to Star Trek TNG is home to Advanced Micro processing plants.

Indianapolis was brought up in STTNG with the people who were found frozen. That's where I live LOL

I go deeper in my upcoming Star Trek fan fiction comic series with my original characters Captain Ejiofor is from ibadan city Oyo state Nigeria and Lieutenant Commander Olusegun Abubakar is from Warri Nigeria 🇳🇬 ♥

Love that St Paul's Cathederal is still standing in London in 'Into Darkness'. Proper relic by then.

Canberra really does make sense as the site of the Vulcan Embassy. They would fit right in with the people there.

Leningrad is mentioned in Star-Trek IV, so Star Trek must be in some alternate timeline where Gorbachev became a doctor instead of a politician!

Chief O'Brien asks Odo to drop in on his family in Dublin after the changeling bombing in Antwerp, so there are two more.

Happy to see Australia mentioned in star trek

Knowing that much of Earth was devastated by nuclear war, seeing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc, makes me wonder if they were essentially recreated? Strong as they may seem, withstanding a nuclear blast is about as likely as raising the Titanic with tweezers. Some of the few landmarks I can think of that would have a good chance of survival, even close to nuclear detonations, would be landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Rushmore and probably many more (but my brain is bogged down right now).

Philippa Georgiou is from Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia.

There's also the "No Go" Zone in Antarctica, where strands of DNA of a parasitic xenomorph still exist. No one is allowed to go into the zone, due to these "things".😉

At least we got to see Vasquez Rocks mentioned as the "Vasquez Rocks" in Picard season one. It's too bad we couldn't peer over the mountains and see LA as a reef.

I like their portrayals of San Francisco and Boston. I think they do a good job in the design for combining the old and the new.

The Trieste is a Merced-class starship. Merced is a city and county in California's San Joaquin Valley. One of the writers of TNG, Ronald D. Moore, grew up near there.

> New New York Futurama confirmed canon to the Star Trek timeline?

Star Trek IV mentions Leningrad being affected by the whale probe... not sure if that's been edited to St Petersburg since then though.

Wesley Crusher really enjoyed Calgary. Wil Weaton in actuality went there in the 80s to vacation and he added that choice in his dialogue script.

I wonder what Kingston ,jamaica looks like a star trek futuristic city with vertical forest skyscrapers,modern garden homes on the hills, high speed futuristic trains and a hub of cargo transit and beaches for miles part of a sub-united earth goverment a west indies federation,union or commissariat.....

I do wonder what the "Official" Canon for what the Santa Clara Valley is like in the 2380s and beyond. I'd love to know.

We need a species citys playlist. Romulan,cardassian,klingon,solanae,iconian,vulcan,andorian etc.

Leningrad is frequently mentioned in Kirk-era shows and movies. Chekov keeps claiming that a little old Russian lady lives there, and that she's famous for inventing many things.

Scotty mentions Edinburgh and Glasgow and i think Aberdeen too in ToS so those Scottish cities are still standing.

I never cared for the depiction of Paris where there's some sort of covered tunnel running through the base of the Eiffel Tower. To me it just spoils the look of it. And yes, I always thought that New York and Washington have been purposely left out because they were heavily damaged during the third world war.

What are the odds that Picard's writers are gonna remember that LA sank? I'll be very impressed if they do. More likely they'll do whatever they want with LA, damn the canon.

Canary Wharf and temporal investigations. Two of my fandoms just overlapped in ideas ever so briefly!

It was a bit weird that the shot of “Greater Boston” in Star Trek: Picard is of downtown Boston. It’s easy to recognize from the buildings they show. Why label it “Greater Boston” when you are showing the city proper? Was Boston briefly an expansionist city state and changed its name? Did they decide to take the idea of Red Sox nation to the extreme?

The Kelvin timeline films give you the impression that they have like no building codes or urban planning of any type and just out-of-control levels of urban sprawl, which I find hard to believe about Star Trek's more enlightened and resource-management oriented post-WWIII society. The world population is also supposed to be a lot less by Star Trek's time, so there would probably be fewer tall buildings and less urban development compared to the late 20th and early 21st centuries. I always imagined that the episodes where the Enterprise crew will go meet some scientist who lives in, like, a self-sufficient settlement house on some planet were more representative of how most people would live in the future rather than in crowded, Blade Runner-style cities. Urban development should have peaked right before the Third World War and then moved to a settlement pattern with fewer large cities and more self-sufficient small communities from having more efficient energy technology, replicators etc.

❤ never stop putting out videos! I could and have listened to you for hours 😘

The Iconians had a trans-dimensional gateway to Toronto City Hall. (TNG, "Contagion")

A followup about Earth's nation states would be interesting. Some of the books apparently mention countries are still around and are de-emphasized or something? Or did the USA collapse and its states joined the UE? Are the state names now just regions people use? Etc. for other (con)federated countries.

Gorn in Berlin... Having been to Berlin I can fully say that yea it checks out. I would fully believe that actually happening.

Remember that Dakar is a center of electronics manufacturer. The nanites that Wesley taught to teach each other came from there. They said so on the show.

Picard mentions the Smithsonian in Star Trek first contact, which is located in Washington DC. Presumably since earth exists as a single unified planet, Washington DC would be some kind of city-sized museum in the 23rd and 24th centuries. Cerritos, California deserves a mention. It is in the LA area, so perhaps it has become one of those island cities. When I first heard the name in Star Trek lower decks, I wondered how that would line up with the canon of LA having crumbled into the sea in 2024.

Indianapolis was mentioned in the first season of TNG. Amanda Rogers and her parents lived in Topeka, Kansas. Nanites were manufactured in Dakar, Senegal.

Let’s not forget Mohave, about fifty miles of parkland surrounding it. Nice place to ride your horse, Tango, and share a picnic with a beautiful girl.

Great video! I have always wanted a series that revolved around characters whom are “Earthbound”. Seems like a no-brainer to have a series called Starfleet.

It'd be interesting to see a few stories dedicated to aspects of society that choose not to partake in the interplanetary culture that absorbs most of humanity. Kind of like the folks here in the US that choose to be "off the grid," or the groups that insulate themselves from society due to religious reasons (like the Amish).

For sci fi I always love the fifth elements style of New York I;the 22nd century. Such a cool look at a city that’s the same as we know now just taller and more dense.

Los Angeles Island what if Star Trek and escape from LA existed in the same universe?

As a San Francisco native I cannot tell you how proud I am that Mr Roddenberry chose My City as the HQ for Star Fleet.

There was Wellington (New Zealand). It was the location of the renowned Pennington School. (Mentioned at least once in DS9)

If the names of starships confirm that cities exist, then thanks to ST: Lower Decks, my city of Sacramento exists!

If memory serves, I believe Bones is from Atlanta. I wish we could have seen a future Atlanta. That would have been cool :)

Firstly, thanks for another great video. Just wanted to ask or clarify a few things: 1) according to the starfleet tech manual (1986), the following are analogs to the UN system: Supreme assembly = General Assembly Federation Council = Security Council President = secretary-general or rotating presidency of the Security council (no use of the term president in the original). This means that they modified the UFP constitution to suit the plot. It would be harder/near impossible to declare martial law on a sovereign planet of the federation (ie earth) by the equivalent of a UN secretary General as above, so they opted to change the constitution and add an executive president separate from the council. Also makes it harder considering the starfleet is the analog to the peacekeepers and can only be deployed in case of security council declaring "war" against a sovereign nation. And that the peacekeepers are not a separate unit you can join, you have to join one's national military and get stationed to the UN. 2) Paris would never allow construction that high. 3) don't dis Vancouver 😋. It kinda is the Hollywood of the North. Might be the new Hollywood depending on this climate change thing. 4) hard labour penal settlement...guess the federation (assuming it's a nation and not a UN since the UN cannot imprison directly) decided to abandon the low recidivism Nordic prison model in favour of a much higher recidivism and flawed American prison.

Leningrad! Leningrad! We need a video on Leningrad in the 23rd century :) in all seriousness, while St Petersburg changed its name, the region is still called Leningrad Oblast, so maybe the name survived

Picard in TNG once mentions seeing something in the Smithsonian. That implies D.C. made it.

We have seen Mojave, Captain Pikes homestead in the Cage.

Fascinating video, thanks! 👍

You missed the very first Earth city ever shown in Star Trek, Mojave, Shown in the episode 'The Cage'. It was the home town of Captain Christopher Pike.

Such a shame Trek never visited Stevenage, the 'home of British space exploration'. Still, it's good to know that crazy paving is still en-vogue centuries from now.

As a Chicago native, I'd love to know what was done with it once they - in all likelihood - bulldozed the rubble (again) into Lake Michigan and started over (again). We're stubborn that way. And its a great way to fill in the coastline to make more room for the city center.

Toronto was never mentioned but the city hall showed up in an Iconian portal once in season 2

In Enterprise, Hoshi is recruited at an educational institution in what seems to be located in the city of Manaus -- Amazonas, Brazil. Part of Venezuela is destroyed by Xindi attacks, as well as some cities in Florida, one of which is home to Commander Tucker. In Discovery it is revealed that one of the ships that appear first is the USS Shenzhou, which despite not being a city demonstrates that cultures other than those found around North Atlantic(and their appendages in oceania and asia) may provide the opportunity to name ships. In fact, as a Star Trek fan outside of the US, it's quite sad that other parts of the world go almost unnoticed. We don't have a captain born in Africa or South America. Even Indians, one of the most populous countries in the world today, appear only once as an auxiliary technician (extra) at the beginning of Next Generation. The current 'villains' of imperialism such as Russians, Chinese, Arabs in general have some appearances but very little (or none in the case of the Arabs). Even the name "United Federation of Planets" seems to be an extension of the united states at the galactic level. It is sad that the media centralism of the United States can be so imposing even when we talk about a bright future as Star Trek presents us.

i thought about that Panama City thing before. The Ray went from Lake Okeechobee south through the keys into Cuba. Panama City is in the Panhandle in North Florida. Would have made more sense for Tucker’s sister to be in the Florida keys.

Home to the United Earth's 8 most important waste management plant, Basingstoke former United Kingdom.

Awesome video 👍

Cancun and Tahiti mentioned by Trip Tucker in Storm Front Part 1. Some fascinating mentions of Earths cities from early 21st century media.

When Cisco visits his father in New Orleans there is a scene where they help shuck CLAMS, instead of the traditional New Orleans oysters. I have long wondered weather this was a goof in the writing or if oysters are extinct in the future....

Rick, could you do a video on planetary defense in Star Trek? One of the few things I liked about Star Wars was that had planet based weapons that could take out ships in orbit as well as planetary shields and even area shields strong enough to repel any attack from orbit. One would think that Star Trek, with it's more advanced tech, would the same or better defense systems.

Marseille has a secondary campus that Tom Paris transferred to. Dublin still exists and Odo was asked to visit O'Briens parents there. Captain Georgiou came from Malaysia so at least they survived. As with a lot of character names and ship names there is a significant gap in African, Middle East, Indian, south east Asia and Chinese origin. Likely all devastated by Eugenics war and WW3

That's where a series that would follow up on O'Briens transfer to earth from DS9 would work. His orders where to teach at Star Fleets School of Engineering. That's where the topic of this video would work well. A nice earth bound series with a Welcome Back Kotter flavor.

I know it's a dark time, but we ABSOLUTELY need more Trek WW3 lore.

Seattle is mentioned a couple times in Canon.

5:07 I've always wanted to see that statue, since Jordi first mentioned it in "First Contact" :D

great video

The Xindi weapon's beam went up through central Florida though and Panama City/PCB is further to the West on the Panhandle.

If you count "The Cage" as the first episode of Star Trek, then the first Earth city seen, in a fantasy at least, would be the City of Mojave, in the former Mojave desert. As of now, Mojave is a small town of about 4,000.

One cool thing to add would be some of the non-city locations, like Yosemite National Park, Vasquez Rocks (aka Raffi's humble mansion) or Chateau Picard and the lands about. But it was a really great overview.

The TNG novel to the movie "Star Trek: First Contact" states that Washington DC was Ground Zero for WW3.

Jake sisko attended writing school in Wellington New Zealand.

“The federation is a Homo sapiens only club….” -Star trek the undiscovered county((dinner scene)

Thanks Rick

I'd love a video on just the founding of Starfleet it's origins and various departments there functions etc

Ironic Sydney is considered a good place for a night on the town when the nightlife had been pretty dead for years even prior to current events.

Of course we have a "Australia is hot" joke

I hope my Sweet Home Chicago is still kicking with the Sears Tower, deep dish pizza, Wrigley Field, Lake Michigan, and da Bears and Bulls.

St Louis has to still be around, given Tilly’s fascination for the Gateway Arch and Dr Crusher affiliating with a dance school there. Though, if baseball isn’t around, not sure what’d keep the metro together.
