This part of the city used to be part of a sprawling metropolis, or maybe it was a whole city of its own, but something happened. Maybe an earthquake or another disaster buried it, or maybe they just decided to build a new city on top of it and, in time, forgot the old one. Maybe the burying was gradual, as people built higher and higher and gradually abandoned the older, lower parts of the city. Whatever the cause, what we have now is this trope: an older, often abandoned city that exists underground and directly underneath a megacity. Sometimes this becomes a cycle, with successive layers of older cities as you go deeper. This isn't just any underground area; the Under City used to be above the earth before being buried by whatever occurrence. Could be a whole Ghost City, or a part of an Absurdly-Spacious Sewer. If it remains inhabited, it will likely end up as an Underground City and makes the Wretched Hive above it look like a paradise. Examples |

Motorcity: The futuristic city of Detroit Deluxe was constructed by encasing all of old Detroit beneath a gigantic metal shell and using that as its foundation. Old Detroit, or Motorcity, is now a rundown but lively urban jungle where the sun never shines, populated mainly by street gangs with cool cars. | |

First Encounter Assault Recon's Vivendi expansion Perseus Mandate features the Old Underground Metro Area, a buried section of a commercial district dating back to the '50s or '60s, beneath the modern city of Fairport, where The Sergeant and Lt. Chen take refuge while running from the Origin Facility explosion. According to Chen, the place was buried in an earthquake and Fairport was built on top of it. He also states that the area remained open to tours, presumably historical ones, and several points of it have functional electric lighting. It's the only location in the expansion where you are attacked exclusively by paranormal enemies, and Alma is not shy about making appearances. | |

The Undercity in Guild Wars: Factions started out at ground level, but by the time of the game's present day is effectively underground due to so much being built atop it. Kaineng City as a whole was explicitly inspired by the Kowloon Walled City. | |

In "Nightfall (1941)", archaeologists discover that a hill near their city is actually the ruins of several older cities, piled on top of each other. They all burned down at suspiciously regular intervals. It coincides with nightfall on a planet of (near-total) daytime. People panic and start burning things to bring back the light and wind up destroying everything. Over and over and over... | |

Discworld: Because Ankh-Morpork is built on soft loam, near an extremely turgid river, the ground levels of its buildings find themselves buried every generation or so. The standard remedy is to just build another level on top and cut open new doors, so now the city descends through the earth to an unknown depth. This has caused friction between the dwarfs, who traditionally view anything underground as theirs, and the city's government, who think of those areas as sub-sub-basements and would rather not have unknown factors tunneling through them. Also from Discworld, the mine-city of the Low King of the Dwarfs is built mostly under the surface town of Bonk. |

Knights of the Old Republic: Taris has four levels — the decaying (but still pretty decent) Upper City where the wealthy live, the Middle City (where the working and middle class live), the Lower City (a slum controlled by gangs and the local crime boss), and the Undercity — a wasteland crawling with rakghouls and a small settlement comprised of exiled criminals, political prisoners, and their descendants. While there is a Hope Spot brought about if the player completes a quest with the light-sided option, the sequel reveals that those who survived the initial bombardment survived a couple of generations before succumbing to disease, toxic waste, and rakghoul attacks. | |

Since then, other parts of it have become occupied by the homeless, low-level metacriminals trying to lie low, the occasional cryptid, and there's even connections to Sub Terra. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: In the backstory of the Judges' Guild module Dark Tower, a small village grew up around the White Tower of Mitra. When the Black Tower of Set appeared nearby, the village was buried by the landslides caused by the battle between the two towers. Within a decade a new village of treasure seekers called Mitras's Fist was established on the ground where the old village had stood. When the new villagers began digging down to find the old village, imagine their surprise when they found someone digging up to meet them... | |

Warhammer 40,000: Imperial Hive Cities, each of which is usually a megalopolis and sometimes an arcology, will almost invariably have such an "underhive" as the hive is continuously built upwards and older buildings and streets are built upon and buried. The formation of an underhive is considered the natural consequence of the history of most established cities in the Imperium of Man. As civilization stays as close to the top as it can manage, the underhive has a population density so thin that it can be considered derelict, except for the mutants, gangs, cults, fugitive psykers, and any other criminal element that seeks to stay away from prying eyes. Also notable is that the areas underneath range from claustrophobic maintenance tunnels to deserted city districts to enormous, abandoned underground industrial sites. | |

Naturally, you'll be spending quite a bit of time there.

In Oblivion, Part of the Imperial City's Absurdly Spacious Sewers are old Ayleid constructs whose purpose have been lost over the millennia.

Old New York in Futurama is the original New York City that was apparently leveled by an Alien Invasion, later revealed to actually be the Swedish Air Force battling Bender and his fleet of spaceships after he stole the Nobel Peace Prize. Eventually, the city of New New York was simply built on top of the ruins, which had the sewers rerouted through them. In the 31st century, the remnants of Old New York are still standing, derelict, beneath New New York, home only to the sewer mutants. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The plane of Ravnica is a fantasy-themed City Planet that has been such for many thousands of years. As a result, space is very much at a premium, and its natives are usually forced to build up. The result is that, over time, streets, buildings and entire neighborhoods are abandoned as the become buried beneath a steadily increasing mass of masonry, resulting in a multilevel undercity which, besides serving as Ravnica's sewers and rubbish tip, is home to the Golgari necromancers and rot farmers (the city's main food providers, who turn all that sewage back into edible plant matter), Dimir spy bases, roving Big Creepy-Crawlies and — for those who can actually make it down there — troves of archeological treasure. Some of the deepest levels of the Undercity are so old that they date to before Ravnica the city swallowed Ravnica the world, created from ancient settlements and tombs buried beneath the world-city's growth. | |

Sadly, this was all mostly forgotten by the next miniseries. A Spider-Man title in the New Tens introduces "Under York", a subterranean duplicate of New York City populated by orange-skinned humans with a vague steampunk aesthetic. Apparently it has a long-standing truce with New York's government, which is threatened when Spider-Man ends up in the middle of a dispute with the ruling family. |

In Fallen London, bats stole Victorian London, the game's setting, from the surface and brought it underground. And it's far from the first city to have suffered this fate. | |

In Diabolik Clerville has vast catacombs, parts of which seem to have been on the surface in the past. It's inhabited by many homeless people, parts of whom have organized themselves in the People of the Shadows, and Diabolik frequently uses it for his heists and was taught how to get around by the People of the Shadows during a brief alliance. | |

The Undercity in Baldur's Gate is an ancient settlement located in a cave underneath the eponymous city. It is apparently big enough to house an enormous temple of Bhaal and many supporting structures. And of course the Underdark in the sequel houses three large dwellings, one of Mind Flayers, one of Beholders, and a gigantic city of Drow. |

Almost every moving city in Mortal Engines is built in multiple layers like a pyramid, the further a city is up the food chain, the more layers it has. The topmost layer is usually pleasure gardens for the ruling elite, while the bottommost layer is the hot and polluted engine room that uses slave labour to keep the wheels of the city moving. An interesting inversion is Arkangel, whose "best" layer is actually the one in the exact middle due to the extreme cold of the Arctic where the city roams. | |

In the Doctor Who New Adventures, there's the Undercity of Spaceport Overcity Five — or, as we would say, London. In this case, London wasn't buried: the entire Overcity floats above it on Anti-Gravity engines. | |
