    Most likely the city roads just become pedestrian walk ways and they demolish interstates and Highways to make room for more greenhouse spaces.

      Yeh. I’d imagine at least in urban areas, they’d be reclaimed. In more unpopulated areas, I could see them becoming hiking/biking trails, or maybe just being left intact in some places for the few hobbyist car drivers left. (I mean, Kirk’s stepfather owned a Corvette in the Kelvin films, though that had Nokia product placement for some reason. We’ll just say that temporal cold war stuff allowed Nokia to last a bit longer and make car accessories, and that this is still a very old stereo.)

        Yeah I can’t take the JJ universe seriously when they have that kind of product placement. When I like to have fun with world/lore building in star trek. I would say they do leave some of it intact. The same way we have Pioneer settlements like Cades Cove now or Williamsburg for historical purposes. Hell the Whitehouse is just a museum if it survived WW3.
