cloud city
City above clouds
A cloud city is a fictional metropolis floating high in the sky, suspended among or above the clouds.
The concept appears in science fiction and fantasy, most famously in Star Wars's Bespin.
Cloud city evokes utopian imagery—a place literally above earthly concerns, often technologically advanced and aesthetically pristine: The rebels fled to the cloud city.
