Strip the City

Strip the City is a documentary science television series that aired on the Science Channel in 2012 and 2014. It explores the construction of major cities and the geology lying beneath them, with an emphasis on computer-generated imagery to "strip" away layers of structures and the rock of geological features to reveal their interiors.

Content

Strip the City uses computer-generated imagery (CGI) to "strip" major cities layer-by-layer of their steel, concrete, buildings, roads, rivers. and bedrock to reveal the technology and infrastructure that allowed their creation and keeps them functioning. CGI also peels back the layers of buildings to show they were constructed, strips away oceans to reveal sunken cities, and cuts into rock to display the inner workings of volcanoes, subterranean rivers, underground volcanoes and cliffs, fault lines, and ancient catacombs and describe their impact on life in the cities above them.^[1][2]

A later Science Channel series, Strip the Cosmos, built upon the CGI concepts introduced in Strip the City, employing them to reveal the interiors of astronomical objects.
