It's basically a network of suspended houses and shops all interconnected by various high-speed travel lines all floating inside a huge misty space of air just above the surface of the planet.

A TV tropes city would be a non euclidean, living Genius Loci that shifted and twisted in patterned ways ways in time to the media created and consumed across time and space. One day the city is a Wretched Hive the next a Shining City as the Sliding Scaleof Idealism Versus Cynicism swung one way then another.
Simultaneously all the tropes of time, space and even Genre are in this city, walk down one ally your in Cityof Adventure set in a RPG Mechanics 'Verse, turn a corner however and smooth jazz plays, the lights grow dim and a black and white filter covers you eyes as you enter the Film Noir realm, as the scales of idealism shift the scope of these realms swing one way or another with one realm growing larger as another shrunk, only to eventually, inevitably, raise back to it's height as tropes are used, abused in fiction the multiverse over.
Tropeberg would be in many ways a company town serving Trope Co and the mysterious CEO who seems to equal parts control the town, and be controlled by it, Trope Tan. The company of course makes any of license Trope.Co products and they are then exported across the multi-verse.
Above all else, Tropeberg would be a a tolerant city, trolls aside the people who come to wiki and therefore populate the city are nice and good people and no matter if your Gay/lesbian/bi/mutant/alien/monster/half human hybrid, you would find a friendly face in Tropeberg as it is the place where multiverses collide and one reality crashes with another.
The city would come under periodic attacks from the The Wiki Witchofthe Web with her monsters of the week taking the form of Data Vampires and Natter hounds leaving the protection to the city to a combined team of super heroes, magical girls, giant robots, and conventional military forces of Troopers armed with Torpedoes and More Dakka. In the center of a city is a monument to remember The Great Crash when the city was leveled and had to be reformed from the ashes.

Profile image made by Bulhakova very connected network of towers with a about two hundred main streets and exponentially less on the fringes with crowds of people arguing ware to put the next building and what street to connect it too
i have no idea why i did thisSacramento, CA
Haw Haw HawYou ever play SMT IV? It's for the 3DS and I recommend it personally. Part of the story is the MC and friends visiting an alternate future that's basically a ruined Tokyo in the form of a burning hellscape overrun with demons.
That would be TV Tropes as a city.
EDIT: I hope that wasn't necro-ing the thread..

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.Like a giant citywide convention with clearly marked doors with a trope or topic on each door. People use like warp tiles or the whole thing moves as you go. On size It would be like a tardis. Or it could be a hallway with different groups of people to the side with a notebook or binder and you just walk though the groups and stop somewhere interesting.
It would be divided into 3 main "regions": On one side of the city, there's the Sugar Region, which is bright and colorful. On the other side, there is the Darth Region, which is dark and somber. In between the two is the rest of TV Tropes, which is much more neutral, and much bigger than the other 2.
Still hoping for Klonoa to get a new game... or a movie like thisIt'd be the Infinite Hotel Paradox. But instead of being filled with people, it's being filled with WMG entries.
Hm. Sprawling metropolis; some areas dark and dystopian, some fairly average, some utopian and gleaming, some blocky and utilitarian, some archaic and rustic... stretching from underground to flying areas, and is probably partly mobile.
Also, it has wi-fi access literally everywhere.
I think that's called the Trope Pantheon, the name could be Teva Tropics (TV Tropes with some wordplay).
Special enough to guide your way through the Shadow World.The city-wide renovation project has a number of citizens complaining about the new materials used being infested with bugs, but everyone knows that exterminators will get around to their block eventually. At least the new light-pollution law is in effect, as the previous 24-hour floodlights made walking at night difficult without some Stylish shades.
Each index on the wiki is represented as a building, and each page is a room. Each room contains teleporters to transport people to similar rooms.
Each room's design has something to do with the page it is named after. For example, the Ominous Pipe Organ room contains a huge pipe organ, with a guy playing scary music. The Nothing Is Scarier room is completely empty and dark (besides the teleporters.)
Still hoping for Klonoa to get a new game... or a movie like thisI think it would be a huge, sprawling shanty town, parts of it postcard worthy, but other parts just filled with trash and cripples.
Sugar Wiki would probably be a TV Tropes heaven, while Darth Wiki would be a TV Tropes hell. The YMMV wiki would probably be some weird TV Tropes purgatory; the rest would be the equivalent of normal TV Tropes pages.
I think it would look like a sort of Megapolis.
borkLots of old movie theaters with giant screens and upholstered seats. Drive-ins. No previews. Coffee shops and bookstores everywhere. Tropers tend to be of a certain mind, and the character of their surroundings would reflect that, so I would expect to see a restrained modernity with respect for the established traditions around which we conduct our affaris; lots of classic architecture overlaid with the trappings and expectations of a youthful majority. New technologies would be cutting edge and backwards-compatible, possessed with an enduring relevance to the generations that follow. Subsidies for upstart film studios and universities dedicated to every conceivable facet of filmmaking would give rise to a critical mass of creators and the inevitable fallout which would result. Casting calls on every corner. Long philosophical discussions about the symbiotic fusion of art and culture. Massive building projects to house all the good fer nuthin' new arrivals like me.
I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.If TV Tropes was a city, then it would be inhabitable, some buildings would be tall, others would not, there would be minimal residential districts. There would be a district that people would look down on, a district that people would look up to, filled with people looked down on. There would be a bar, somewhere where people go to try and forget the sadness that encapsulates their life, or sometimes to realise it's pathetic legitimacy, there would be a hospital, where a little girl would give a wreath of flowers to her ailing great grandfather, a sentiment too small given too late to someone who was already gone. Most importantly there would be you, full of regrets and experience but always understating and under-utilising your capabilities. People would come and go leaving something behind and taking something as they go. The management of this city is well intentioned but often ill-spoken. Also T H E G A M E
It would be all of the multiverse condensed into one city.
The Prodigal Son returns.Like the city from Free Guy, but split into districts of different media genres, you got slasher flicks over here, FPS games there, so on and so fourth
Two words: Trope Pantheons.
Absolute RainbowTrope Pantheons is a city within a city frankly
New theme music also a boxHopefully not necroposting, but.. Tv Tropia, as I call it, would be a sprawling city, nearing Ao3burg (Archive of Our Own), and Robloxia (Roblox). It would have many different inhabitants, ranging from small gremlins (trolls) to massive steam locomotives (my PFP). No matter where you go, you will find some tropes in action. It would be a democracy, and its president is chosen every 5 years. It would have a massive residential sector, an even bigger industrial area, and an economics center. It's a cool idea, definitely.
