I thought the point of cyber punk was it being a cautionary tale and something to be enjoyed from afar. I like cyberpunk but I would dread to live in any of these shit holes

New Port City for me. It feels very real.

Kowloon walled city (real life)

Don’t forget Deus Ex.
The Kairo arcology or the Hengsha Pangu

New Port City – Dominion Tank Police. Same city as in GiTS but set farther into the future. Pretty sure Appleseed is also considered canon with these. Masamune Shirow made some of the best cyberpunk anime but now all he does is hentai of girls who look suspiciously like the heroines of all his stories.

Golem City.

The description of chiba city in the beginning of necromancer will always be my favorite

Ghost in the Shell for sure.

Shadowrun’s version of Seattle, Berlin, & Denver.
Also love the Chicago ‘Bug City’ concept but it’s more fantasy than cyberpunk.

New Port City was impressive, it’s the most realistic megacity in any anime that I’ve seen.

The belching climatic failure of that Blade Runner intro is so prescient. Gets me every time. Sigh.

Los Angeles from Blade Runner and since [about five minutes ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/16x1yjp/ghost_in_the_shell_1995_the_artistic_mastery/), New Port City
The pictures that made the genre
Neo-Tokyo for me.
Night City seems a bit… small. Make it a bit larger and it’d easily be my favorite
Wild card: Mega City 1 from Dredd
Aesthetical wise night city
But one to actually live in, I would go with new port city
Bay City
Mega City One Judge Dredd 1995
