Imaginary cities are fictional places created in literature, art, or other forms of media. They often serve as backdrops for stories, allowing authors and artists to explore themes, cultures, and social issues in unique ways. Examples include Metropolis from Fritz Lang's film and Gotham City from DC Comics. These cities can reflect real-world issues or entirely fantastical elements, often featuring unusual architecture, diverse inhabitants, and intricate histories. They invite audiences to engage with their narratives, sparking imagination and creativity. Notable examples include Hogwarts from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and Narnia from C.S. Lewis's works.
