There's also the fact that Earth has biomes, parts of the surface with different environmental conditions, that are close to the other founding species homeworlds, like having the Andorions build their pre-Federation near one of the poles, the Vulcans' in the Gobi Desert, and the Telarites under Mt Everest.

Knowing that much of Earth was devastated by nuclear war, seeing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc, makes me wonder if they were essentially recreated? Strong as they may seem, withstanding a nuclear blast is about as likely as raising the Titanic with tweezers. Some of the few landmarks I can think of that would have a good chance of survival, even close to nuclear detonations, would be landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Rushmore and probably many more (but my brain is bogged down right now).
We see the Golden Gate Bridge get wrecked in DS9 when the Breen attack and it was rebuild in Picard so it's possible other landmarks were after WW3 as well. If I could live in the Star Trek universe the one thing that would make me sad is all the historic sites and artifacts would have been destroyed just when humanity was able to preserve and enjoy them.
Yeah, that made me laugh. A Mecca for politicians, ambassadors and public servants. I don’t know if Fyshwick would necessarily be to their taste, though.
At least we got to see Vasquez Rocks mentioned as the "Vasquez Rocks" in Picard season one. It's too bad we couldn't peer over the mountains and see LA as a reef.
@@jordanwutkee2548 I know. And with Earth not using money in the Star Trek universe, maybe you're right. Or we can go with a little dub. Or maybe go for some balance, and have the "U.S.S. Saigon."
The Trieste is a Merced-class starship. Merced is a city and county in California's San Joaquin Valley. One of the writers of TNG, Ronald D. Moore, grew up near there.
There's also the "No Go" Zone in Antarctica, where strands of DNA of a parasitic xenomorph still exist. No one is allowed to go into the zone, due to these "things".😉
It was a bit weird that the shot of “Greater Boston” in Star Trek: Picard is of downtown Boston. It’s easy to recognize from the buildings they show. Why label it “Greater Boston” when you are showing the city proper? Was Boston briefly an expansionist city state and changed its name? Did they decide to take the idea of Red Sox nation to the extreme?
Wiki: Greater London is a ceremonial county of England that makes up the majority of the London region. This region forms the administrative boundaries of London and is organised into 33 local government districts-the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, which is located within the region but is separate from the county.
Yeah, having mentioned, I feel like they will also be doing strange practical things like reforestation massively across the planet. Can you imagine living ten generations deep in a family of tree planters? You know, what if the Sahara was surrounded by a green belt, etc. It would be nice to see what ecosynthesis looks like in the future.

Great video! I have always wanted a series that revolved around characters whom are “Earthbound”. Seems like a no-brainer to have a series called Starfleet.
Indianapolis was mentioned in the first season of TNG. Amanda Rogers and her parents lived in Topeka, Kansas. Nanites were manufactured in Dakar, Senegal.
Firstly, thanks for another great video. Just wanted to ask or clarify a few things: 1) according to the starfleet tech manual (1986), the following are analogs to the UN system: Supreme assembly = General Assembly Federation Council = Security Council President = secretary-general or rotating presidency of the Security council (no use of the term president in the original). This means that they modified the UFP constitution to suit the plot. It would be harder/near impossible to declare martial law on a sovereign planet of the federation (ie earth) by the equivalent of a UN secretary General as above, so they opted to change the constitution and add an executive president separate from the council. Also makes it harder considering the starfleet is the analog to the peacekeepers and can only be deployed in case of security council declaring "war" against a sovereign nation. And that the peacekeepers are not a separate unit you can join, you have to join one's national military and get stationed to the UN. 2) Paris would never allow construction that high. 3) don't dis Vancouver 😋. It kinda is the Hollywood of the North. Might be the new Hollywood depending on this climate change thing. 4) hard labour penal settlement...guess the federation (assuming it's a nation and not a UN since the UN cannot imprison directly) decided to abandon the low recidivism Nordic prison model in favour of a much higher recidivism and flawed American prison.
For sci fi I always love the fifth elements style of New York I;the 22nd century. Such a cool look at a city that’s the same as we know now just taller and more dense.
I never cared for the depiction of Paris where there's some sort of covered tunnel running through the base of the Eiffel Tower. To me it just spoils the look of it. And yes, I always thought that New York and Washington have been purposely left out because they were heavily damaged during the third world war.
A followup about Earth's nation states would be interesting. Some of the books apparently mention countries are still around and are de-emphasized or something? Or did the USA collapse and its states joined the UE? Are the state names now just regions people use? Etc. for other (con)federated countries.
I always assumed that the old nations remained as administrative regions. Of course, they'd also be home to distinct subcultures & linguistic varieties (like Scotty's accent & Chekov sometimes swearing in Russian.
I wonder what Kingston ,jamaica looks like a star trek futuristic city with vertical forest skyscrapers,modern garden homes on the hills, high speed futuristic trains and a hub of cargo transit and beaches for miles part of a sub-united earth goverment a west indies federation,union or commissariat.....
@@shavaughndavidson2257 Possibly. Remember though, many countries have been free from external wars only to be haunted by internal wars, corruption, low standards of living no matter how many investors show up, and questionable rule of law. Not speaking of Jamaica, just many countries in general.
Remember that Dakar is a center of electronics manufacturer. The nanites that Wesley taught to teach each other came from there. They said so on the show.
The Kelvin timeline films give you the impression that they have like no building codes or urban planning of any type and just out-of-control levels of urban sprawl, which I find hard to believe about Star Trek's more enlightened and resource-management oriented post-WWIII society. The world population is also supposed to be a lot less by Star Trek's time, so there would probably be fewer tall buildings and less urban development compared to the late 20th and early 21st centuries. I always imagined that the episodes where the Enterprise crew will go meet some scientist who lives in, like, a self-sufficient settlement house on some planet were more representative of how most people would live in the future rather than in crowded, Blade Runner-style cities. Urban development should have peaked right before the Third World War and then moved to a settlement pattern with fewer large cities and more self-sufficient small communities from having more efficient energy technology, replicators etc.
It'd be interesting to see a few stories dedicated to aspects of society that choose not to partake in the interplanetary culture that absorbs most of humanity. Kind of like the folks here in the US that choose to be "off the grid," or the groups that insulate themselves from society due to religious reasons (like the Amish).
There’s an episode of Voyager, maybe season 1 or 2, that goes into his origins and his father’s work as an anthropologist. They work with uncontacted tribes in Central America.

@@paulgrattan3885 Sounds like Glasgow could be inadvertently glassed. the thing about our deterrent of nuclear subs is they are usually at sea. but you do have a point there.
Leningrad is frequently mentioned in Kirk-era shows and movies. Chekov keeps claiming that a little old Russian lady lives there, and that she's famous for inventing many things.
Also in star trek 4 the voyage home we see a world map and it mentions Leningrad now this causes a bit of a continuity error because it suggests that the USSR didn't fall yet sarah Silverman's character in voyager mentioned the collapse of the USSR, its possible they retained the name in the star trek timeline
In Enterprise, Hoshi is recruited at an educational institution in what seems to be located in the city of Manaus -- Amazonas, Brazil. Part of Venezuela is destroyed by Xindi attacks, as well as some cities in Florida, one of which is home to Commander Tucker. In Discovery it is revealed that one of the ships that appear first is the USS Shenzhou, which despite not being a city demonstrates that cultures other than those found around North Atlantic(and their appendages in oceania and asia) may provide the opportunity to name ships. In fact, as a Star Trek fan outside of the US, it's quite sad that other parts of the world go almost unnoticed. We don't have a captain born in Africa or South America. Even Indians, one of the most populous countries in the world today, appear only once as an auxiliary technician (extra) at the beginning of Next Generation. The current 'villains' of imperialism such as Russians, Chinese, Arabs in general have some appearances but very little (or none in the case of the Arabs). Even the name "United Federation of Planets" seems to be an extension of the united states at the galactic level. It is sad that the media centralism of the United States can be so imposing even when we talk about a bright future as Star Trek presents us.
One cool thing to add would be some of the non-city locations, like Yosemite National Park, Vasquez Rocks (aka Raffi's humble mansion) or Chateau Picard and the lands about. But it was a really great overview.
What are the odds that Picard's writers are gonna remember that LA sank? I'll be very impressed if they do. More likely they'll do whatever they want with LA, damn the canon.
Who cares about canon, they need a dystopian megacity to do "dollar store blade runner but star trek". Picard season 2 will be garbage just like season 1, just like discovery.
Rick, could you do a video on planetary defense in Star Trek? One of the few things I liked about Star Wars was that had planet based weapons that could take out ships in orbit as well as planetary shields and even area shields strong enough to repel any attack from orbit. One would think that Star Trek, with it's more advanced tech, would the same or better defense systems.
Picard mentions the Smithsonian in Star Trek first contact, which is located in Washington DC. Presumably since earth exists as a single unified planet, Washington DC would be some kind of city-sized museum in the 23rd and 24th centuries. Cerritos, California deserves a mention. It is in the LA area, so perhaps it has become one of those island cities. When I first heard the name in Star Trek lower decks, I wondered how that would line up with the canon of LA having crumbled into the sea in 2024.
DC may have been glassed but some parts survived! I'd love to know how much of DC still exists, lincoln memorial? white house? capitol building, washington monument etc
As a Chicago native, I'd love to know what was done with it once they - in all likelihood - bulldozed the rubble (again) into Lake Michigan and started over (again). We're stubborn that way. And its a great way to fill in the coastline to make more room for the city center.
FWIW, 'Old' Chicago is the capital of the largest interstellar ....nation?....alliance?....polity at the start of the non-ST "Honorverse" series by David Weber, which is a fairly significant literary SF series of the pasty twenty-five years., and the city is described in some detail in one of the short stories and parts of the later main series.
Marseille has a secondary campus that Tom Paris transferred to. Dublin still exists and Odo was asked to visit O'Briens parents there. Captain Georgiou came from Malaysia so at least they survived. As with a lot of character names and ship names there is a significant gap in African, Middle East, Indian, south east Asia and Chinese origin. Likely all devastated by Eugenics war and WW3
You missed the very first Earth city ever shown in Star Trek, Mojave, Shown in the episode 'The Cage'. It was the home town of Captain Christopher Pike.
In ST 5, where Sybok makes him “feel his pain” over this inability to cure his dying father’s illness, you can see a city at night right outside of the hospital window at his father’s bedside. I’ve always figured that was futuristic Atlanta right there.
i thought about that Panama City thing before. The Ray went from Lake Okeechobee south through the keys into Cuba. Panama City is in the Panhandle in North Florida. Would have made more sense for Tucker’s sister to be in the Florida keys.
That's where a series that would follow up on O'Briens transfer to earth from DS9 would work. His orders where to teach at Star Fleets School of Engineering. That's where the topic of this video would work well. A nice earth bound series with a Welcome Back Kotter flavor.
When Cisco visits his father in New Orleans there is a scene where they help shuck CLAMS, instead of the traditional New Orleans oysters. I have long wondered weather this was a goof in the writing or if oysters are extinct in the future....
If you count "The Cage" as the first episode of Star Trek, then the first Earth city seen, in a fantasy at least, would be the City of Mojave, in the former Mojave desert. As of now, Mojave is a small town of about 4,000.
Cambridge, MA (part of Greater Boston): home to Harvard and MIT, which had a hand in developing warp drive, as you mentioned in the video about Zefram Cochrane. So I'd imagine that they might still have a hand in propulsion and engine design today
i'm pretty sure that the various cities that have US Department of Energy laboratories like Oak Ridge, TN, Los Alamos, NM, Batavia, IL, and Berkeley, CA, probably also survived and help develop and maintain the shipboard fusion reactors that power all impulse engines.
Star Trek discovery season 2 had an episode that used audio from a soldier in ww3 which wasn’t actually that bad. I would love some beta cannon or a mini series based on ww3. It all neatly builds into the Star Trek lore of historical past events.
I don't know if someone else covered this or not, but when the Xindi attacked Earth initially, it appears to have struck southeast of Tampa. Panama City is in the Florida panhandle near the Alabama and Florida state lines. Having been born just outside Panama City, I remember feeling a sense of pride that my birthplace was mentioned (as being where Trip was from), but felt a bit of sadness when it was said to have been destroyed. Thankfully, reevaluating the trajectory of fire placed me at ease.
I like the Earth is still somewhat unknown and mysterious and very infrequently visited in episodes. With such a huge influx of alien cultures and ultratech, I'll bet its resemblance to our modern-day home planet is only superficial.
St Louis has to still be around, given Tilly’s fascination for the Gateway Arch and Dr Crusher affiliating with a dance school there. Though, if baseball isn’t around, not sure what’d keep the metro together.

Would be nice to have a video about WW3 in Star Trek lore considering the Eastern Coalition is looking more and more possible as well as a WW3 with Nuclear weapons involved.
It's sadly amazing that no nukes have been deployed in warfare since 1945. But as first hand witnesses die off, they become less "real" to the public and therefore more likely to get used, IMO.
Leningrad! Leningrad! We need a video on Leningrad in the 23rd century :) in all seriousness, while St Petersburg changed its name, the region is still called Leningrad Oblast, so maybe the name survived
Not sure if mentioned, but I'd love to see you cover San Diego. From what I remember, that city had a significant and colorful history in the Trek universe.

This list is somewhat 'western centric' but that is to be expected given 'where' this story is from...
it's somewhat sad that we get so little Earth Screentime and then the Designers forget they are in the Future and a Major War had happend >_>
i mean it's nice that New Orleans, Paris an London are quite good replicated after the war, but *looks at modern rebuild City in Europe* i don't think thats as realistic depiction of the future as beaming or replicators
In Theory it should that even made it easier to just pretend that they are in ... Sofia or ... Pretoria, just say it got shelled and rebuild, so they could have used any Sets and Matte Paintings the had laying around
Very different considering the majority of the major cities were glassed

Knowing that much of Earth was devastated by nuclear war, seeing landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc, makes me wonder if they were essentially recreated? Strong as they may seem, withstanding a nuclear blast is about as likely as raising the Titanic with tweezers.
Some of the few landmarks I can think of that would have a good chance of survival, even close to nuclear detonations, would be landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Rushmore and probably many more (but my brain is bogged down right now).
We see the Golden Gate Bridge get wrecked in DS9 when the Breen attack and it was rebuild in Picard so it's possible other landmarks were after WW3 as well. If I could live in the Star Trek universe the one thing that would make me sad is all the historic sites and artifacts would have been destroyed just when humanity was able to preserve and enjoy them.
Dakar Senegal according to Star Trek TNG is home to Advanced Micro processing plants.
It would make a lot of sense. It's a very geologically stable area of the world with access to ocean water.
Happy to see Australia mentioned in star trek
Canberra really does make sense as the site of the Vulcan Embassy. They would fit right in with the people there.
Yeah, that made me laugh. A Mecca for politicians, ambassadors and public servants. I don’t know if Fyshwick would necessarily be to their taste, though.
Chief O'Brien asks Odo to drop in on his family in Dublin after the changeling bombing in Antwerp, so there are two more.
I like their portrayals of San Francisco and Boston. I think they do a good job in the design for combining the old and the new.
At least we got to see Vasquez Rocks mentioned as the "Vasquez Rocks" in Picard season one. It's too bad we couldn't peer over the mountains and see LA as a reef.
Leningrad is mentioned in Star-Trek IV, so Star Trek must be in some alternate timeline where Gorbachev became a doctor instead of a politician!

It was a bit weird that the shot of “Greater Boston” in Star Trek: Picard is of downtown Boston. It’s easy to recognize from the buildings they show. Why label it “Greater Boston” when you are showing the city proper? Was Boston briefly an expansionist city state and changed its name? Did they decide to take the idea of Red Sox nation to the extreme?
Wiki: Greater London is a ceremonial county of England that makes up the majority of the London region. This region forms the administrative boundaries of London and is organised into 33 local government districts-the 32 London boroughs and the City of London, which is located within the region but is separate from the county.
Mega cities will rule the planet.

Yeah, having mentioned, I feel like they will also be doing strange practical things like reforestation massively across the planet.

Great video! I have always wanted a series that revolved around characters whom are “Earthbound”. Seems like a no-brainer to have a series called Starfleet.
I do wonder what the "Official" Canon for what the Santa Clara Valley is like in the 2380s and beyond. I'd love to know.
Indianapolis was mentioned in the first season of TNG. Amanda Rogers and her parents lived in Topeka, Kansas. Nanites were manufactured in Dakar, Senegal.
Firstly, thanks for another great video. Just wanted to ask or clarify a few things:
1) according to the starfleet tech manual (1986), the following are analogs to the UN system:
Supreme assembly = General Assembly
Federation Council = Security Council
President = secretary-general or rotating presidency of the Security council (no use of the term president in the original). This means that they modified the UFP constitution to suit the plot. It would be harder/near impossible to declare martial law on a sovereign planet of the federation (ie earth) by the equivalent of a UN secretary General as above, so they opted to change the constitution and add an executive president separate from the council. Also makes it harder considering the starfleet is the analog to the peacekeepers and can only be deployed in case of security council declaring "war" against a sovereign nation. And that the peacekeepers are not a separate unit you can join, you have to join one's national military and get stationed to the UN.
2) Paris would never allow construction that high.
3) don't dis Vancouver 😋. It kinda is the Hollywood of the North. Might be the new Hollywood depending on this climate change thing.
4) hard labour penal settlement...guess the federation (assuming it's a nation and not a UN since the UN cannot imprison directly) decided to abandon the low recidivism Nordic prison model in favour of a much higher recidivism and flawed American prison.
For sci fi I always love the fifth elements style of New York I;the 22nd century. Such a cool look at a city that’s the same as we know now just taller and more dense.
We need a species citys playlist. Romulan,cardassian,klingon,solanae,iconian,vulcan,andorian etc.
❤ never stop putting out videos! I could and have listened to you for hours 😘
There was Wellington (New Zealand). It was the location of the renowned Pennington School. (Mentioned at least once in DS9)
Cancun and Tahiti mentioned by Trip Tucker in Storm Front Part 1. Some fascinating mentions of Earths cities from early 21st century media.
I never cared for the depiction of Paris where there's some sort of covered tunnel running through the base of the Eiffel Tower. To me it just spoils the look of it.
And yes, I always thought that New York and Washington have been purposely left out because they were heavily damaged during the third world war.
A followup about Earth's nation states would be interesting. Some of the books apparently mention countries are still around and are de-emphasized or something? Or did the USA collapse and its states joined the UE? Are the state names now just regions people use? Etc. for other (con)federated countries.
I know there's a throwaway line in TNG mentioning that Australia was one of the last nation states to join the United Earth
I always assumed that the old nations remained as administrative regions. Of course, they'd also be home to distinct subcultures & linguistic varieties (like Scotty's accent & Chekov sometimes swearing in Russian.
Harry Kim was from South Carolina.

Possibly. Remember though, many countries have been free from external wars only to be haunted by internal wars, corruption, low standards of living no matter how many investors show up, and questionable rule of law. Not speaking of Jamaica, just many countries in general.
Remember that Dakar is a center of electronics manufacturer. The nanites that Wesley taught to teach each other came from there. They said so on the show.

Futurama confirmed canon to the Star Trek timeline?
No, because in Futurama, Star Trek is a fictional show
I was thinking the same thing.
Wasn't it also in Doctor Who?
@@masere yes, but it was on another planet. However, there was also a second city named New York on Earth
In Futurama the United Earth is an independent Planet-Nation-state, they are not United to the UFP and poverty still exists
The Kelvin timeline films give you the impression that they have like no building codes or urban planning of any type and just out-of-control levels of urban sprawl, which I find hard to believe about Star Trek's more enlightened and resource-management oriented post-WWIII society. The world population is also supposed to be a lot less by Star Trek's time, so there would probably be fewer tall buildings and less urban development compared to the late 20th and early 21st centuries. I always imagined that the episodes where the Enterprise crew will go meet some scientist who lives in, like, a self-sufficient settlement house on some planet were more representative of how most people would live in the future rather than in crowded, Blade Runner-style cities. Urban development should have peaked right before the Third World War and then moved to a settlement pattern with fewer large cities and more self-sufficient small communities from having more efficient energy technology, replicators etc.
It'd be interesting to see a few stories dedicated to aspects of society that choose not to partake in the interplanetary culture that absorbs most of humanity.
Kind of like the folks here in the US that choose to be "off the grid," or the groups that insulate themselves from society due to religious reasons (like the Amish).
Kinda like Siskos dad who runs a restaurant and cooks everything by hand. I'd like to see it... Kinda like a "Cheers" show in the 23rd century lol.
Maquis are one of them.
There’s an episode of Voyager, maybe season 1 or 2, that goes into his origins and his father’s work as an anthropologist. They work with uncontacted tribes in Central America.

Scotty mentions Edinburgh and Glasgow and i think Aberdeen too in ToS so those Scottish cities are still standing.
I doubt any of those cities were considered high value targets in WW3
@@katakisLives Hmmm considering Faslane the home of the entirety of the UK nuclear arsenal and nuclear sub base is only within a short drive distance from Glasgow I'd say the city was definitely a target.

Star Trek IV mentions Leningrad being affected by the whale probe... not sure if that's been edited to St Petersburg since then though.
Along with Tokyo and Juneau, Alaska.
Houston has lost all electrical power. Said by the dude with the metal thing on his head.
Canary Wharf and temporal investigations. Two of my fandoms just overlapped in ideas ever so briefly!
You mean because Torchwood was based there?
@@katakisLives yep
Leningrad is frequently mentioned in Kirk-era shows and movies.
Chekov keeps claiming that a little old Russian lady lives there, and that she's famous for inventing many things.
We also have to understand that when TOS was made, the name had not been changed until after the fall of the Soviet Union(1990)
Also in star trek 4 the voyage home we see a world map and it mentions Leningrad now this causes a bit of a continuity error because it suggests that the USSR didn't fall yet sarah Silverman's character in voyager mentioned the collapse of the USSR, its possible they retained the name in the star trek timeline
In Enterprise, Hoshi is recruited at an educational institution in what seems to be located in the city of Manaus -- Amazonas, Brazil.
Part of Venezuela is destroyed by Xindi attacks, as well as some cities in Florida, one of which is home to Commander Tucker.
In Discovery it is revealed that one of the ships that appear first is the USS Shenzhou, which despite not being a city demonstrates that cultures other than those found around North Atlantic(and their appendages in oceania and asia) may provide the opportunity to name ships.
In fact, as a Star Trek fan outside of the US, it's quite sad that other parts of the world go almost unnoticed. We don't have a captain born in Africa or South America. Even Indians, one of the most populous countries in the world today, appear only once as an auxiliary technician (extra) at the beginning of Next Generation. The current 'villains' of imperialism such as Russians, Chinese, Arabs in general have some appearances but very little (or none in the case of the Arabs). Even the name "United Federation of Planets" seems to be an extension of the united states at the galactic level.
It is sad that the media centralism of the United States can be so imposing even when we talk about a bright future as Star Trek presents us.
Let’s not forget Mohave, about fifty miles of parkland surrounding it. Nice place to ride your horse, Tango, and share a picnic with a beautiful girl.
One cool thing to add would be some of the non-city locations, like Yosemite National Park, Vasquez Rocks (aka Raffi's humble mansion) or Chateau Picard and the lands about. But it was a really great overview.
Gorn in Berlin... Having been to Berlin I can fully say that yea it checks out. I would fully believe that actually happening.
What are the odds that Picard's writers are gonna remember that LA sank? I'll be very impressed if they do. More likely they'll do whatever they want with LA, damn the canon.
Well, hope is something to keep in mind. Also they are bringing back Q for the first time since Voyager...
They don't even remember that economic inequality is supposed to be defunct (as per Raffi's 'hovel' complaints). I wouldn't be holding my breath. :-)
Who cares about canon, they need a dystopian megacity to do "dollar store blade runner but star trek". Picard season 2 will be garbage just like season 1, just like discovery.
Wait Picard has writers?
they could have rise it again. Plans for something similar where in the episode "Family"
Rick, could you do a video on planetary defense in Star Trek? One of the few things I liked about Star Wars was that had planet based weapons that could take out ships in orbit as well as planetary shields and even area shields strong enough to repel any attack from orbit. One would think that Star Trek, with it's more advanced tech, would the same or better defense systems.
Picard mentions the Smithsonian in Star Trek first contact, which is located in Washington DC. Presumably since earth exists as a single unified planet, Washington DC would be some kind of city-sized museum in the 23rd and 24th centuries.
Cerritos, California deserves a mention. It is in the LA area, so perhaps it has become one of those island cities. When I first heard the name in Star Trek lower decks, I wondered how that would line up with the canon of LA having crumbled into the sea in 2024.
DC may have been glassed but some parts survived! I'd love to know how much of DC still exists, lincoln memorial? white house? capitol building, washington monument etc
I always thought if a ship was named after a city it was meant as a memorial.
As a Chicago native, I'd love to know what was done with it once they - in all likelihood - bulldozed the rubble (again) into Lake Michigan and started over (again). We're stubborn that way. And its a great way to fill in the coastline to make more room for the city center.
FWIW, 'Old' Chicago is the capital of the largest interstellar ....nation?....alliance?....polity at the start of the non-ST "Honorverse" series by David Weber, which is a fairly significant literary SF series of the pasty twenty-five years., and the city is described in some detail in one of the short stories and parts of the later main series.
But Wrigley is still stands...and the Bean. And Lou Malnati's, expanding their Deep Dish menu to include a Gagh pizza.
5:07 I've always wanted to see that statue, since Jordi first mentioned it in "First Contact" :D
Picard in TNG once mentions seeing something in the Smithsonian. That implies D.C. made it.
The Phoenix from First Contact, yet the novelization of the film mentions D.C having been destroyed during Lily's lifetime. Go Figure.
@@votemonty1815 maybe they rebuilt the museum.
Marseille has a secondary campus that Tom Paris transferred to.
Dublin still exists and Odo was asked to visit O'Briens parents there.
Captain Georgiou came from Malaysia so at least they survived.
As with a lot of character names and ship names there is a significant gap in African, Middle East, Indian, south east Asia and Chinese origin. Likely all devastated by Eugenics war and WW3
You missed the very first Earth city ever shown in Star Trek, Mojave, Shown in the episode 'The Cage'. It was the home town of Captain Christopher Pike.

In ST 5, where Sybok makes him “feel his pain” over this inability to cure his dying father’s illness, you can see a city at night right outside of the hospital window at his father’s bedside. I’ve always figured that was futuristic Atlanta right there.
i thought about that Panama City thing before. The Ray went from Lake Okeechobee south through the keys into Cuba. Panama City is in the Panhandle in North Florida. Would have made more sense for Tucker’s sister to be in the Florida keys.

That's where a series that would follow up on O'Briens transfer to earth from DS9 would work. His orders where to teach at Star Fleets School of Engineering. That's where the topic of this video would work well. A nice earth bound series with a Welcome Back Kotter flavor.
The Iconians had a trans-dimensional gateway to Toronto City Hall. (TNG, "Contagion")
If the names of starships confirm that cities exist, then thanks to ST: Lower Decks, my city of Sacramento exists!
I always thought if ships were named after cities that it was memorial and they didn't exist anymore. Hope I was wrong
The Xindi weapon's beam went up through central Florida though and Panama City/PCB is further to the West on the Panhandle.
Seattle is mentioned a couple times in Canon.
Home to the United Earth's 8 most important waste management plant, Basingstoke former United Kingdom.
There also a Starfleet Academy campus in Marseille, that is referred multiples times in differents series
When Cisco visits his father in New Orleans there is a scene where they help shuck CLAMS, instead of the traditional New Orleans oysters. I have long wondered weather this was a goof in the writing or if oysters are extinct in the future....
Toronto was never mentioned but the city hall showed up in an Iconian portal once in season 2
Toronto's city hall is a recognizable landmark not just for Torontonians.
If you count "The Cage" as the first episode of Star Trek, then the first Earth city seen, in a fantasy at least, would be the City of Mojave, in the former Mojave desert. As of now, Mojave is a small town of about 4,000.
Cambridge, MA (part of Greater Boston): home to Harvard and MIT, which had a hand in developing warp drive, as you mentioned in the video about Zefram Cochrane. So I'd imagine that they might still have a hand in propulsion and engine design today
Also the MIT Advanced Labs at Hanscom Air Force Base
i'm pretty sure that the various cities that have US Department of Energy laboratories like Oak Ridge, TN, Los Alamos, NM, Batavia, IL, and Berkeley, CA, probably also survived and help develop and maintain the shipboard fusion reactors that power all impulse engines.
I know it's a dark time, but we ABSOLUTELY need more Trek WW3 lore.
Star Trek discovery season 2 had an episode that used audio from a soldier in ww3 which wasn’t actually that bad. I would love some beta cannon or a mini series based on ww3. It all neatly builds into the Star Trek lore of historical past events.
I don't know if someone else covered this or not, but when the Xindi attacked Earth initially, it appears to have struck southeast of Tampa. Panama City is in the Florida panhandle near the Alabama and Florida state lines. Having been born just outside Panama City, I remember feeling a sense of pride that my birthplace was mentioned (as being where Trip was from), but felt a bit of sadness when it was said to have been destroyed. Thankfully, reevaluating the trajectory of fire placed me at ease.
I like the Earth is still somewhat unknown and mysterious and very infrequently visited in episodes. With such a huge influx of alien cultures and ultratech, I'll bet its resemblance to our modern-day home planet is only superficial.
St Louis has to still be around, given Tilly’s fascination for the Gateway Arch and Dr Crusher affiliating with a dance school there. Though, if baseball isn’t around, not sure what’d keep the metro together.
Such a shame Trek never visited Stevenage, the 'home of British space exploration'. Still, it's good to know that crazy paving is still en-vogue centuries from now.
Stevenage, where warp engines were built by lads in sheds.

Would be nice to have a video about WW3 in Star Trek lore considering the Eastern Coalition is looking more and more possible as well as a WW3 with Nuclear weapons involved.
It's sadly amazing that no nukes have been deployed in warfare since 1945. But as first hand witnesses die off, they become less "real" to the public and therefore more likely to get used, IMO.
As a San Francisco native I cannot tell you how proud I am that Mr Roddenberry chose My City as the HQ for Star Fleet.
