I'm Looking For A City For My Personal Project, Any Suggestions? (City Desc. Beneath)
16 Answers
So for a personal story I'm trying to think of a city for my characters to live in, but I'm not sure what to choose. I need a relatively big, crowded, dirty and in some places *** city, as well as "modern" (so not ancient with stone brick buildings, as that doesn't really fit the dirty backstreet alley with high buildings image I want). Originally I was going to have it set in Downtown Eastside Vancouver, as being a British Columbian I know the area, but another plot in the story is that one of the characters goes to America b/c "things are better there" and I can assure you no Canadian thinks that, and that wouldn't work for American cities either. Other big modern countries such as England wouldn't really work either. I also need a city that can be *** enough that a kid can be rescued from forced prostitution and basically be unofficially adopted by someone living with a *** apartment with a bad job without social services being aware. The city also needs to be quite diverse, and tolerant enough of LGBTQIA+ that they at least surpass Russia, and with lots of access to drugs and alcohol. Preferably, there's also inner city schools, but that isn't required. If you have any suggestions, please tell me!

for what it's worth, Vancouver has in fact been used as a stand-in for New York and other cities in quite a few movies - it hasn't got the same recognisable skyscrapers, of course, but filmmakers seem to think it otherwise has the right "feel".

I'm not sure if you're writing, filming or what, but a city is as modern/ancient/crowded/deserted as you make it.
