New New York

New New York was one of the main cities of New Earth and a recreation of New York on Earth. It had a Duke, a police force, a hospital, which was run by the Sisters of Plenitude, though this was not physically in the city.

The city had a population of at least 10 million. The Doctor jokingly noted that it should be called "New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York", pointing out that it was the fifteenth New York to be constructed. (DW: Gridlock)

History
New Earth was founded as a city state after Earth was destroyed by Sol expanding, so most of the Human population moved there. The Doctor visited in 5,000,000,023 and stopped a sinister plot set up by the Sisters of Plenitude. (DW: New Earth)

However, life became harsh for the population, and pharmacists sold mood drugs, setting up shops in the Undercity. When a new drug, called Bliss, was created, and the Upper City became addicted to it, a virus evolved in the chemical which killed everything in seven minutes flat. To protect the rest of the population, the lower city and the Motorway were sealed off and New Earth went under a automatic quarantine lasting for one hundred years. The virus was sealed off from both the Undercity and the M87 Galaxy. It had nothing to feed on, so it starved to death, until it became extinct.

Eventually, in the year 5,000,000,053, the Doctor visited the city again, first visiting Pharmacytown where some pharmacists were selling mood mood drugs. With the help of the Face of Boe, he managed to save the people on the motorway by unsealing the exits and opening the roof section, allowing those trapped to escape and recolonise the city. As a result the Face of Boe died using all his energy to open the motarway roof. (DW: Gridlock)
