Detail(s) of a BIG town (no human beings nor animals) - pls read the rules

Challenge #15 in the Opportunities series. Hosted by juanlucas.
Challenge has finished
Some time, even a chaotic, huge city can have a romantic mood of its own, or can represent itself from another angle of view. The aim of this challenge is to tell a story of a big and usually crowded city WITHOUT the crowd, in order to show only that modern/artificial environment in which people move. Pls note: MANDATORY to write down anywhere the name of the city. This challenge doesn't aim to determine how big has to be a city in order not to be considered as a village...

I'm really sorry that I had to DQ a lot of beautiful pictures, because they didn't fit the rules of this challenge. Actually, it was clearly stated that "no panoramas/cityscapes" are allowed. The aim of this challenge - according to its title - is to show some DETAIL of a big city, not the whole city or its gblobal view.
Some other pictures, to me, are really "at the border", but in those cases I will let users express - through their votes - their opinion at this regard.
Thank you all for participating.

Perhaps the host should define what is a "citiscape" which is not allowed under his rules.

Sorry for the mistake while typing (cityscape instead of citiscape...).
Well, according to Wikipedia: "A cityscape is the urban equivalent of a landscape".
The aim of this challenge is to focus on "details" of a big city instead of on a urban panorama.
