History Main / SunkenCity

* The city of Thor in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' sunk 2000 years prior to the events of the game due to a meteor crash. It's still, however, relatively dry and functional thanks to [[CapturedSuperEntity Aska's power]].

* ''BlueSubmarineNo6''

* New York in ''TheDayAfterTomorrow''.

* Atlanta in ''{{Futurama}}'', PlayedForLaughs of course. "The Lost City of Atlanta!"
* In an episode of ''CaptainPlanet'', the characters go forward in time and see New York underwater. And yes, it was a GreenAesop about GlobalWarming.

* Tokyo in ''GhostInTheShell''.

* ''YokohamaKaidashiKikou''
* ''PonyoOnACliffByTheSea'' (in a strangely lighthearted way)

* ''FinalFantasyX'' has more than one.

* Most of eastern New York State is at least half underwater in ''SuperheroLeagueOfHoboken''. Global warming is to blame. A good part of the game is figuring out how to get to the flooded parts of the city, then to the open water, to reach new locations.

* The namless ruined city in ''ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' used to showcase the ancient destructive power of the demoness Ifurita.

* New York and others in ''SamsonAndSally''. ("The city that man built".)

* Tokyo in ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* In ''TheLordOfTheIsles'', it seems like you can't turn around without without running into a sunken city or island. They don't always stay sunken, either, what with all the wizards running around.

* Sunken City (possibly the TropeNamer) in ''TheLegendOfZeldaOracleOfSeasons'', flooded not by rising seawater (it's quite far from the ocean) but by melting snow from the mountains.

* For a time, {{Aquaman}} was based in Sub Diego: a portion of San Diego that was submerged in an attempt to convert humans into subaquatic beings. The population consisted of a mix of these altered humans and Atlantian refugees.

* New York in ''Film/AIArtificalIntelligence''
* New York in ''TheDayAfterTomorrow''

* New York in ''AIArtificalIntelligence''

* * The namless ruined city in ''ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' used to showcase the ancient destructive power of the demoness Ifurita.

* The 1987 novel ''Drowning Towers'' (or ''The Sea and the Summer'') by George Turner describes a future in which Melbourne was partially submerged in water. As the tops of sky scrappers are above the water level, they are still inhabited by the cities' poorer classes.
