It's a collage of cityscapes, presumably of Brasilia, but it is not obvious from the image itself whether it is supposed to be the same city or not. The trope is about fictional cities built in a uniform style.

Yeah, that's not clear at all; voting to pull.

Pull, the idea could work but probably with a more focused sect of pictures.

[up] It could work, it's so homogenous as to be generic. With a caption asking the lines of "The bland conformity is a feature, not a big of this dystopia" or could work.[tup]

How about Theed, capital of Naboo in Star Wars ep 1.

I like 3.2 since you see more of the city.

3.2's okay...not really enthused about it but it works.

3.2 works fine; current has to go regardless.

Prefer those over 3 since they are more obviously “not Earth”

^ Check the first paragraph. The trope applies to futuristic human cultures likewise. The argument one could make is that 14 looks more futuristic than 3.

[up][up]Meant "not our Earth". Was on mobile and lazy.

[down]Yes, I know. By "not our Earth" I meant not the earth we are living in now.

I am pretty sure future Earth settings are covered by the trope as well despite what the trope name implies.
