Uh… not sure, you’re going to have to explain the reference to me, comrade.
Me being a snarky USAi’ian mostly.
But yeah, the first “town” in the video game Final Fantasy 7 is big city named Midgar. At a few points you get a sky eye view of the city and its set up pretty much like that painting. A huge power plant in the center, sky rise towers surrounding it built on top of various levels of older constructions with slums on the bottom.
Final Fantasy 7 is a game about how capitalism and industrialization is killing the planet and it features a heavily industrialized city, called Midgar, where the wealthy live in the sunshine on a plate that is elevated above the heavily polutted slums, where everyone else lives without ever seeing the sun.
The painting is quite reminiscent of the asthetics of Midgar.
