The localized, urban version of a Crapsack World. Apathetic Citizens shuffle though a dangerous maze of alleys among overbearing black skyscrapers, cheap hotels, strip clubs and Sinister Subways as sirens wail in the background. Expect a limited color palette, a palpable air of decay and depression, and a high crime rate.
Usually, cities like this will consist of a downtown area full of Corrupt Corporate Executives in gated compounds surrounded by a giant slum of poor people and petty criminals.
It will often be informed by Taxi Driver-era New York (sinister clouds of steam emerging from the sewers, prostitutes and drug dealers on every corner, depressive Knights in Sour Armor moaning about how crappy the place is, etc.), though the origins of City Noir are actually in German Expressionism. It may take these things to surreal lengths.
If our story takes place in the future, it will be a Cyberpunk dystopia full of dark Star Scrapers (symbolizing class oppression), neon signs (symbolizing MegaCorp domination) and other signs of a future gone wrong. If it takes place in the past, the City Noir of choice will probably either be industrial revolution-era London or a fantasy counterpart version of it. Facsimiles of cities like New York and Chicago during The Great Depression might alternately pop up, although for American audiences they may well be shot through the Nostalgia Filter.
Cities Noir enjoy twenty hour nights and constant cloud cover. The remaining four hours of daylight consist of two hours of rain, one hour of thunderstorms, and one hour of sunsets. Sunrises usually mean the story is ending.
These places are a staple of Film Noir and Darker and Edgier shows.
A sister trope to Soiled City on a Hill, Vice City, Wretched Hive and Gangsterland. The Shining City is the antithesis. A Neon City may verge on a City Noir if enough of the signs are broken. See also The City Narrows and The Big Rotten Apple which is what you get when you cross City Noir with the Big Applesauce trope. See Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain for the Cyberpunk City Noir weather forecast.

inFAMOUS' Empire City, a fictional stand-in for smaller New York. The city is quarantined due to an apparent plague, and there are three enigmatic gangs known as the Reapers, the Dust Men, and the First Sons who begin a turf war over the city. Empire City has areas in its sewer systems that can fit entire underground communities of homeless citizens.

Downplayed in Cases of the 1st Department. Prague is not absolutely horrible and dark here, but the city is wonderfully shabby, gray, rainy or cold. It's noticeable especially if you compare it to Prague's usual idealized depictions set in sunny picturesque streets or beautiful historical palaces. Some murders happened in ghettos and poor neighbourhoods, and even the police building looks almost pitiful compared to high-tech sets of other modern police procedurals.

Discworld: Ankh-Morpork, particularly the Shades, is often portrayed as a Gaslamp Fantasy version of this trope. Guards! Guards! and the rest of the "City Watch" sub-series are the most prominent examples. Discworld Noir emphasized it, but that's just part and parcel of being a parody of private detective stories.

Daybreakers has apathetic citizens shuffle though a maze of overbearing black skyscrapers and Sinister Subways as sirens wail in the background. Although this trope is played straight from an audience point of view it is something of a meta-inversion; The city is populated by vampires (of the sunlights burns them to ash variety) so a dark shadowy city is a nice comfortable level of lighting from there point of view. Even if they are apathetically shuffling to their day jobs like us regular human schulbs.

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
Windhelm is the capital of the Stormcloak rebellion, Riften, capital of the Rift, and Markarth, capital of the Reach. Windhelm is full of narrow, winding streets, racism against the city's Argonian and Dark Elf residents is commonplace, and when you first arrive, the city is being stalked by an insane, necromantic Serial Killer. Since Windhelm is located in the northern reaches of Skyrim however, Windhelm trades the usual rainfall for heavy snow instead.
Riften is a perpetually foggy city rife with corruption; it the home to the Thieves Guild (who in a break from previous Elder Scrolls games are not a band of Robin Hood types who protect the poor, but are in fact little more than a collection of thugs, blackmailers, exortionists, and con-men). The local Jarl is incompetent and out of touch with her people, and the real power in Riften is the head of the local mead dynasty, Maven Black-Briar, who has the Thieves Guild at her beck and call, has ties to the Dark Brotherhood, and can actually become Jarl if you side with the Empire in the Civil War. It's not uncommon to see Thieves running loose in the marketplace, and Honorhall Orphanage, Skyrim's only home for orphaned children, is (initially) run by a monstrous woman named Grelod the Kind who regularly abuses her wards and refuses to let any of them actually get adopted. And be warned if you venture into the Ratway, the sewers beneath the city, which is home not only to the Thieves Guild, but also home to a number of other thugs, miscreants and outcasts who dwell down there.
Markarth has to take the cake however. Upon entering the city for the first time, you're treated to the sight of a woman being murdered in the middle of the marketplace (possibly) in broad daylight, before her assailant is killed by the guards who assure you that everything is under control and that there are no Forsworn in Markarth. You're drawn into a conspiracy surrounding the Forsworn, the former inhabitants of the Reach, and the powerful and corrupt Silver-Blood family that really rules the city, and by the end of the questline, you'll be looking at quite a number of dead caught in the crossfire. The city is built over an ancient Dwemer city teeming with killer robots, giant spiders, and vicious Falmer that are only kept from sweeping through the city because they're too busy killing each other, there's a haunted house that houses an artifact of Molag Bal, one of the truly most despicable Daedric Princes, and if you do Namira's Daedric quest as well you discover a not insignificant number of Markarth residents are cannibals. It's a pretty miserable place to live.

The City of Steelport in Saints Row: The Third has art deco and industry seemingly running everywhere, and half of the time the game spawns you at night. Or in the rain. It gets even more noir in Saints Row IV, where it (or rather, its simulation) is taken over by alien invaders, who ramp up the police brutality and apparently turn off the sun, so the entire city is permanently surrounded in dusky gloom. And then it gets explicit, when upon completing the main storyline and gaining full control of the simulation, you can change its color scheme to the Deliberately Monochrome "Noir Mode".

Bezoar City of Hard Reset is perhaps the vastest, most towering example to be found on this page. When we say towering, we damn well mean it too; at certain points, the wind whistles by fast enough to suggest you are a very... appreciable distance from the ground that you most definitely can't see. Yet, when you look up, there's still a lot more city to go. At least once, you will go down the street through an industrial complex, only to find yourself on the ledge of a skyscraper.

The same can be said to apply to the highly class-segregated Ba Sing Se of the original series, with secret agents of the government conspiring to keep the perfect balance they have created in the city, which also means keeping the hundred year world war secret to the public, and brainwashing anyone who dared to disrupt order.
Season Three of Korra reveals that Ba Sing Se, despite its technological modernization, has barely improved in the 70 years in-universe since we last saw it (debatabely worse even), due to its selfish and tyrannical queen; when said queen is assassinated by the anarchist Big Bad, the entire city instantly falls into an orgy of looting and vandalism.

Shadows of Doubt has every randomly generated city be like this, with a combination of desaturated palette, glum atmosphere, and dystopian backstory giving the entire city a callously hopeless vibe which only resonates further when you encounter desperate homeless people trying to rob you, illegal gun shops and under-the-table cybernetics providers, and at least one insane cult/narcotics ring.

Batman: Gotham is an influential example, although it wasn't always portrayed this way. The criminal element runs rampant in this city, and the law enforcement seriously cannot deal... Lucky they have Batman.
Batman: The Animated Series is especially notable in this regard. The animators even developed a new kind of Art Deco dubbed "Dark Deco" to make Gotham look as sinister and oppressive as possible.

The urban locations in Kingpin: Life of Crime feature everything between desolate ghettos and classy, but equally vile Radio City with its Art Deco architecture (bearing a suspicious resemblance to some places in Payback). Also notable for a weird mix of modern as well as 1920s, '30s and steampunk/sci-fi styles (Cypress Hill music, Tommy guns, and thugs with cybernetic facial modifications all in the same setting!)

Final Fantasy VI: Zozo. Take the blurb and replace "Apathetic Citizens" with "crazy liars, thieves and crazy lying thieves" and you'll get a perfect description of the place. Everything else is here: the dark skyscrapers, the perpetual rain and the crime rate is so high the city is actually a Dungeon Town despite being populated: hunchbacked freaks of nature, sickle-wielding masked thieves, spell-casting prostitutes and towering brutes whose very step shake the ground are all fought here.

Champions: Hudson City, the "Dark Champions" default setting, is a troubled setting based strongly on the old "urban jungle" perception of New York City. The most obvious crime and grime are in the Southside neighborhoods (south of the Stewart River), but thanks to organized crime and corporate corruption, even the nice neighborhoods of the Northside often have dark secrets hiding behind the facade.

Though downplayed, this trope is undeniably present in Pokémon Black's version-exclusive location, Black City; a shady metropolis dominated by skyscrapers of the color its name would suggest with battle-hungry residents, a market that tries to sell you items for up to fifty times their actual worth, and a mayor who openly boasts that his city is fueled by greed and selfishness. It's a stark contrast to its counterpart, the lush and idyllic White Forest.

Berlin Alexanderplatz is a portrayal of Berlin in the Weimar Republic days and it really portrays the bleakness, poverty, and perverse mentality of the time and place, especially in the criminal classes of mob-bosses, low-lifes, prostitutes that appear in the books. The main character himself is a Shell-Shocked Veteran from the first war turned pimp. It was highly successful in its day and inspired many German-Austrian writers and directors who eventually came to America and made the original film noir.

Tekkonkinkreet: Zig-zagged by Treasure Town. It doesn't really look like a City Noir during the day — on account of all the sunshine and life. It is much less depressing than most examples, but it's definitely run-down, dangerous, and filled with people who can't stand living there. Ironically, the villain's plan is to turn the whole place into a family friendly amusement park by flat out murdering any hoodlums and street kids who don't follow the program.

The Gotham City of 1981 as presented in Joker. Imagined as a love letter to earlier city noir films such as Taxi Driver, this version of Gotham is dirty, depressing, overloaded with rat-infested trash and inhabited by citizens who are apathetic at best and absolute assholes at worst. You can tell things are really bad when the Joker himself is made out to be one of the few sympathetic people living there.

The Jak and Daxter series has Haven City, a sprawling metropolis believed to be the last surviving city on the planet. It's heavily polluted, in a severe state of disrepair, and has a mafia that actively works with the city's evil government. By the time of Jak II, it's been under siege for hundreds of years, and the citizenry is impoverished and downtrodden due to the war and the Baron's tyrannical rule. On top of that, the government has secretly worked out a deal with their supposed enemy, the Metal Heads, to supply them with eco in exchange for attacking the city just enough to justify its continued rule. Did we mention that the Baron has a plan to destroy the Metal Heads that would also destroy the entire universe?

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: Tim Burton's vision of Victorian London definitely fits the trope. Polluted streets and alleys, sewers with steam coming from them, dirty houses and dirtier rooms. The city is full of evil and corrupted people, including rapists, child abusers, serial killers turning people into meat, and so on and so forth. It's all visually very dark, as is usual in Tim Burton's works.

Black Dynamite features a very limited color palette when it portrays its city setting. As well the city's palpable air of decay and depression and high crime rate, most action takes place in a ghetto overrun by whores, orphans and corruption, where the cops are crooked and the IRS is psychotic.

Betancuria in A Dance with Rogues is a fantasy variation of this trope. It has mostly dull, monochrome architecture, and it rains almost every day. Crime is rampant, serial killers and street gangs run riot, so the local Thieves' Guild-slash-The Mafia are actually the good guys by comparison—though, of course, the foreign military force currently occupying the city after a brutal conquest doesn't see it that way.

Detroit (again) from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, along with Hengsha in Shanghai, in somewhat different styles. Detroit is very obviously based on Blade Runner's LA, and Hengsha looks more like Midgar. New York from the original might have counted, too, but we don't get to see much of it, and it's too poorly-rendered to tell. The developers had big plans for the Montreal level, but time constraints forced them to cut out the entire thing in exchange for a single mission level.

New New York in it's second appearance on Doctor Who. Emotions are bought and sold, driving anywhere takes years, the air in some places is lethal to people. And there are giant crab monsters living in the fast lane. Basically, all the problems of urban life made much worse and beyond. This being a British show however, the people are NOT apathetic or cynical, for the most part. Averts The Big Rotten Apple because New New York bears absolutely no resemblance to it's namesake. Rather, it seems to be exceedingly British (despite this supposedly being an alien planet: but then again, this is normal for the show). In particular, the city resembles London following the Second World War.

In Nomine: Sin City is a town in Hell that Valefor, the Prince of Theft, has remodeled into a send-up to noir movies, apparently mainly for his own entertainment. The result is a maze of perpetually wet streets, lit by streetlamps that always leave deep pools of shadow, home to demonic mafiosos in pinstripe suits and fedoras, mysterious and furtive figures in concealing trenchcoats, and cat burglars in black leather scurrying around the rooftops. Valefor's mansion, the Palazzo Furto, lies on a hill overlooking the city.

Bone Song by John Meaney has Tristopolis, an Urban Fantasy version of this trope where humans live side by side with mages, witches, zombies, wraiths, Cat Folk, talking gargoyles, and other fantasy creatures. The city's culture largely centers around death (the citizens invoke "Hades" and "Thanatos" in place of "God", and skulls are a prominent decorative element in architecture), the donut shops sell Tarantula Creams and coffee in snakeskin cups, and the city is powered by necroflux, a type of energy derived from the bones of the dead.

While the daytime shots of Republic City in The Legend of Korra are very beautiful, it turns out that the city hides a dark underbelly of crime and poverty. In particular, the night fight scenes in the streets take cues from this trope.
The same can be said to apply to the highly class-segregated Ba Sing Se of the original series, with secret agents of the government conspiring to keep the perfect balance they have created in the city, which also means keeping the hundred year world war secret to the public, and brainwashing anyone who dared to disrupt order.
Season Three of Korra reveals that Ba Sing Se, despite its technological modernization, has barely improved in the 70 years in-universe since we last saw it (debatabely worse even), due to its selfish and tyrannical queen; when said queen is assassinated by the anarchist Big Bad, the entire city instantly falls into an orgy of looting and vandalism.
