Zootopia(-Location)

“*...Just two hundred and eleven miles away stands the great city of Zootopia, where our ancestors first joined together in peace and declared that anyone can be anything!*”―Young Judy Hopps
**Zootopia** is a modern city and the main setting of the film of the same name. It is where mammals first came together in peace and is populated by mammals from all over the world.

## Description

All mammals roam freely in this part of the world. Savanna Central is the city's downtown area, and is home to important establishments such as City Hall and the Zootopia Police Department. Other districts include the Rainforest District, Tundratown, Sahara Square, and Little Rodentia, each designed to accommodate specific animals' needs and habits.

## Development

### Inspirations

“*We used natural shapes and animal patterns throughout Zootopia, like giraffe spots on a building. If you look closely, you'll see lots of animal faces and teeth, multiple horn and tail shapes.*”―Matthias Lechner
Savanna Central is inspired by many real life cities, including New York City, Shanghai, Barcelona, and London. It incorporates architectural designs from both cities, the most dominant being Times Square.

## Role in the Film

The city of Zootopia is seen the most when Judy Hopps arrives there. Judy, on board the Zootopia Express, marvels at the sights of Sahara Square, Tundratown, and the Rainforest District before entering Zootopia Central Station. There, Judy admires the beautiful and complex structures and buildings in the heart of Savanna Central, before making her home in the Grand Pangolin Arms.
