fictional city

Invented urban setting

A fictional city is an imaginary urban place created for a story, game, or other creative work.

Gotham City and Metropolis exist only in comics; Westeros has King's Landing.

Some fictional cities are thinly veiled versions of real places—Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha stands in for Lafayette County, Mississippi.

The novel is set in a fictional city in the Pacific Northwest.
