History Main / NewNeoCity

** Right next to Delhi, India.

* ''Anime/RomeoXJuliet'', an adaptation of William Shakespeare's ''RomeoAndJuliet'', takes place in the city of Neo Verona. No mention is made of an "Old Verona", however, the implication being that Verona is Shakespeare's one.

* According to legend, Britain was originally named Trinovanum- that is, "New Troy"- by refugees from the Trojan War. Obviously this isn't something we know for certain, but there ''was'' a tribe from around Colchester that the Romans called the "Trinovantes".

* ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' and ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' have Neo Bowser City, set in a futuristic metropolis, with lots of bright lights, shiny towers, and flying vehicles for backdrops.

** In a few levels of ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' and the entirety of ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'', the action takes place in [[NeoAfrica New Mombasa, Kenya,]] a cosmopolitan industrial port city centered around Earth's first space elevator. The more run-down municipalities surrounding New Mombasa are what's left of "Old Mombasa".

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' variation: Although the 2105's Manhattan seen in ''Fast Forward'' is officially "New New York", as evidenced by several signs, it is still usually called "New York".

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': {{Lampshaded}} in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]], where the Tenth Doctor explains that New New York (on another planet) is actually the thirteenth New York, so it's technically [[OverlyLongGag New New New New New New New New New New New New]] New York. The city reappears in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E3Gridlock "Gridlock"]].

* In ''Series/TerraNova'', the title location, [[DontExplainTheJoke as the names translates to]] "New Earth".

* ''Literature/VoidDogs'' features the "celtic revival" planets of Nova Hibernia and Nova Caledonia. (New Ireland and New Scotland)

* Played with in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' with New New York. Old New York is currently ruins found in the sewers of New New York. The pilot episode actually gives the impression that New York was destroyed and rebuilt ''twice'', but the movie Bender's Big Score reveals that one of these was just a few buildings being knocked down because of Bender's antics.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' variation: Although the 2105's Manhattan seen in ''Fast Forward'' is officially "New New York", as evidenced by several signs, it is still usually called "New York".
* ''WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury'' had New London as the capital of Britain. We were never told what had happened to the old one.
* The 31st-century set ''WesternAnimation/{{Legion of Superheroes}}'' cartoon has New Metropolis in the place of Metropolis. In the 41st Century, the ruins were christened Neo Metropolis, making this a double example.

* ''Literature/TheMoteInGodsEye'' by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle has New Chicago and New Caledonia, which has the worlds of New Ireland and New Scotland. There's also New Annapolis on Earth, since the original was destroyed in [[WorldWarThree The Great Patriotic Wars]]. Incidentally, New Caledonia is also the name of a pacific island in Real Life.
* The capital city of Haven in David Weber's ''[[Literature/HonorHarrington Honor Harrington]]'' series is Nouveau Paris, which only underlines the fact that Haven is a stand-in for Revolutionary France. Passing mention is also made of Neo Geneva in an earlier book when the plot was still thick with the French Revolution [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]].

* The ''StarWars'' novels have a planet that goes through severe upheavals every seven years or so, destroying everything on the surface. The planet's colonists [[{{Determinator}} don't let this stop them]], evacuating and rebuilding whenever necessary. One town has been called, over the years, Hopetown, New Hopetown, Newer Hopetown, Newest Hopetown, and Another Hopetown. The character who encounters this, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Apprentices, gives the colonists a severe WhatTheHellHero about this, especialy after an old friend of his is killed in one of the upheavals.
** In the ''[[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing: Iron Fist]]'', there is a town on the planet Aldivy called "New Oldtown". The BigBad is horrified by this name, and when his [[TheDragon dragon]] is giving him a report about someone involved with the town, he interrupts constantly.
--->'''Zsinj''': "Surely you're joking about that name." [...]
--->'''Zsinj''': "You're sure he didn't destroy it because of that name."[...]
--->'''Zsinj''': "[[NeverSayThatAgain Don't ever say that name again]]. It annoys me."
*** After that, his second-in-command calls it the "[[TheScottishTrope hometown-whose-name-is-nevermore-to-be-said]]."
* The Creator/RobertAHeinlein juvenile ''Literature/BetweenPlanets'' has some early chapters set in New Chicago, Old Chicago having been nuked in a previous (non-world-ending) nuclear war some generations ago. Also, the capital of the Venus Republic is New London being named after the Earthside city.
* In Heinlein's ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress'', many places on Luna are named after cities on Earth, such as ''Novy Leningrad'' (Russian for "New Leningrad") and ''Hong Kong in Luna'', often referred to simply as ''Hong Kong Luna'' or HKL.

* According to ''The Compleat Literature/{{Discworld}} Atlas'', the current capital of the Egyptian FantasyCounterpartCulture Djelibeybi, built by Queen Ptraci for the purpose of getting as far away from the bloody pyramids as possible, is New Djeli.
* ''Literature/{{Ward}}'': Following the near-complete annihilation of the original Earth (Earth Bet), the survivors mostly move to an alternate universe Earth (Earth Gimel), forming a mega-city on the east coast of Gimel's North America. No one's sure what to call the mega-city as a whole (it's mostly just called "The City"), but many of its subdivisions are named after locations from Earth Bet. The most prominent is New Brockton, located where the city of Brockton Bay was located on Earth Bet. "New York C" is also briefly mentioned (as opposed to the original New York City or the New York City on Earth Aleph).

* {{Lampshaded}} in ''Series/DoctorWho'' where the Tenth Doctor explains that New New York (on another planet) is actually the thirteenth New York, so it's technically [[OverlyLongGag New New New New New New New New New New New New]] New York.

* The [[spoiler: ill-fated]] colony of New Bajor, in [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]
** There are also a couple references to the human (but not Federation) world of New Sydney, from all descriptions a regular WretchedHive mostly under the thumb of the interstellar mob.
* In ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' the protagonists live in Newtech City - a bit of a stretch considering that it implies that there was a city called Tech and then ''another'' city with the same name. It's even more of a stretch given that the series takes place in 2025 - Those must be some ''fast'' builders.
** Of course, who do you think builds the cities after every single Megazord fight, huh?
* The short-lived TV version of ''Series/BirdsOfPrey'' is set in New Gotham. For Batman fans, it appears to take place in an alternate-continuity future following the "Cataclysm" and "[[Comicbook/BatmanNoMansLand No Man's Land]]" comic books arcs (in which an earthquake levels half of Gotham).
* In ''Franchise/StarTrek'', New Berlin is the largest city on the Moon. We also hear of (but never actually see) a city called New Seattle on a Federation colony world.
** Another New Berlin is also a Federation colony on the frontier. New Manhattan, New Providence, New France, and New Paris are also mentioned briefly. The ExpandedUniverse also has examples like New Siberia, New Sahara or New Reykjavik.
** In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Resolutions", Captain Janeway and her handsome NumberTwo Commander Chakotay are abandoned on a planet for plot-related reasons so they can explore their {{UST}}. They decide to call the planet New Earth, but have to leave before an AdamAndEvePlot can occur.
* [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 New Caprica]].
** One wonders how non-Capricans felt about that naming choice.
*** [[IncrediblyLamePun Capricious]].
* In ''Series/TerraNova'', the title location, [[DontExplainTheJoke as the names translates to]] "New Earth".

--> "My home was in Plymouth, let's call this New Plymouth!"
--> "I've got an idea, let's call this New Hampshire!"
--> "Wait, I'm from Newcastle, can we call this New Newcastle?"
--> "Nah!"
* ''Series/AlmostHuman'' has mentioned a New Pittsburgh.
* ''Series/FrontierCircus'': In "The Courtship", the T & T Circus visits New Atlanta, a town founded by refugees from Atlanta who are striving to keep the spirit of the antebellum South alive.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* [[http://www.webcomictelethon.com/d/1077.html This]] ''WebComics/{{Starslip}}'' Katrina tribute strip has "New New New Orleans" and "New-to-the-fifth-power Jersey".

* ''Videogame/SunlessSkies:'' In a more colonial manner than post-apocalyptic, the Reach's capital, founded by the renewed British Empire, is called New Winchester. Averted in the strangest of ways with London, however: It's not a new city. It's the old one, moved ''brick by brick'' to Albion and made skyfaring for the sake of showing off.

* ''Literature/{{Ward}}'': Following the near-complete annihilation of the original Earth (Earth Bet), the survivors mostly move to an alternate Earth (Earth Gimel), forming a mega-city on the east coast of Gimel North America. No one's sure what to call the mega-city as a whole (it's mostly just called "The City"), but many of its subdivisions are named after locations from Earth Bet. The most prominent is New Brockton, located where the city of Brockton Bay was located on Earth Bet.

* ''Franchise/RoboCopAlphaCommando'' features a number of cities undergoing with, including Detroit becoming "New Detroit" with no word as to what happened.

* Novovoronezh is a "factory town" serving the eponimous nuclear power station 38 km from Voronezh proper in Southern Russia. Its population of ~40000 largely consists of the station personnel and their families.

Settlers and colonists also frequently use this in order to name new cities, countries, and planets after their homeland, whether the original still exists or not - in this case, it's to show that their new home will be built in a new, better version of the old. Because of {{Planetville}} tendencies, it's not uncommon to see entire planets named things like "New London".

* ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'', taking place 10 years after earth is rendered uninhabitable by a RobotWar has several examples:

* In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} 3'' and its expansions, when a faction runs out of unique city names from its predefined city list, new cities' default names will go back to the top of the list, adding "New" to the original city name. This can result in a few oddities (New New York) and {{Easter Egg}}s (Neo Tokyo, [[IstanbulNotConstantinople Not Constantinople]]). When the city list runs out after then, it starts numbering cities, e.g. Thebes 2. .

* Inversion in Guatemala. When the capital city was destroyed in 1776 (which by this time was practically a RunningGag), the goverment had to be relocated to a new valley and create a new city. Today the capital is known as Guatemala City, while the previous one is known as Antigua Guatemala (Old Guatemala).

* Prototype builds of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' have a "Neo Green Hill Zone", [[WhatCouldHaveBeen which was renamed to Aquatic Ruin Zone for the release build]]. The name would later be reused for the first zone of ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance''.
