"POENAPOLIS: A DYSTOPIAN PATH TOWARDS REDEMPTION" by Santiago Unda Venegas Sergio Bellucci
  

After witnessing nature manifesting and taking over cities during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine, humanity has finally realized the impact we have had over the world’s ecosystems and territories.

Through an international agreement, the human race has decided to live underground in order to try and stop the Antrhopocene’s footprint on the surface of the Earth. The agreement states that every major city in the world must reside beneath the ground for 200 years while the surface recovers from centuries of human impact. Now, the city is an abandoned place and humanity lies below it’s ruins.

This is the “punishment” we have accepted. This is how humanity redeems itself. Will we make it? Will we want to go back to the surface? Maybe we will be eager to inhabit the surface once again. Maybe humanity will forget about the the old city and live in this new underground system for centuries.
