Well, of course we won't know until it happens. Still, we can speculate, just as many artists have done. A girl and her dog:  A boy and his dogs:  Girl and boy strolling:  property inspection:  Welcome to the jungle, urban sprawl:  |

Kind of a back-to-nature approach, is it?

I'm skeptical about all but the last picture, and even that's a stretch, IMO.
I think a necessary prerequisite for an overgrown NYC (edit: and London) is the more-or-less complete end of humanity.
W/rt the last picture, most things that wipe out humanity will probably do more damage to our infrastructure and/or make it difficult for even plants to thrive (meteor strike, gamma ray burst, the passage of tens of thousands of years, etc.).

Is that a good thing, a bad thing, or something ineffable? I'm skeptical about all but the last picture, and even that's a stretch, IMO.

W/rt the last picture, most things that wipe out humanity will probably do more damage to our infrastructure and/or make it difficult for even plants to thrive (meteor strike, gamma ray burst, the passage of tens of thousands of years, etc.). I happen to agree with you. One possibility would be some virulent airborne super-virus which would eliminate humans. Something that strong wouldn't leave any survivors and that would of course omit the stragglers shown in most portrayals. To spread properly and eliminate any immune types you'd need an organism that would attack all mammals, excluding possibly opossums and platypuses. Perhaps marsupials and monotremes should be included. You might need an organism cappable of attacking key components of all vertebrates, perhaps all chordates, maybe all deuterostomes, up to all multicellular animals including protostomes. Of course the last would fuck up the plant life so I can't guess what the foliage would look like.

Overpopulated, sprawled-out, ecologically-tarnished and congested dystopias like now?

Reminds me of the Life After People series.

Do you know how fast kudzu grows? That creeping vine can engulf a building in ten years.

on a scale of one to friend
after nearly six decades
of studying
the creature man
it
dropped on me
like a best laid plan:
the world was one enormous human heart
and each were destined
to play
the tiniest of parts
in order to
finally realize
illumination lies
not
only in the horse
but more often
in
the bottom of the cart.

The human race will be extinct long before London and New York looks like that.
