What is dystopian city?

A dystopian city is a fictional city characterized by extreme societal issues and oppressive governments. Generally, these cities represent a world where power is centralized, social structures are fractured, and individual freedoms do not exist. In dystopian cities, people are often forced to work without pay, devoid of any control over their life or decision-making process. The citizens are often divided into social classes, with the rich and the powerful at the top and the poor at the bottom. The city is usually governed by a group that exercises absolute control over every aspect of citizens' lives. Dystopian cities are often the result of the disastrous consequences of war, industrialization, or the environmental degradation of Earth. They are commonly depicted in science fiction literature and movies, and often serve as a warning for the dangers of highly centralized power and a disconnection from natural cycles.
