What city is home to the monster world in Monsters, Inc.?

The city that is home to the monster world in Monsters, Inc. is Monstropolis.

Monstropolis is the main setting of Pixar’s 2001 animated film. It is a modern monster metropolis whose energy system depends on human children’s screams. Monsters enter the human world through doors connected to children’s bedrooms, then return to the city with collected scream energy.

The city’s largest and most important employer is Monsters, Incorporated, where James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski work as professional scarers. The factory’s energy crisis begins because children are becoming harder to frighten, but the characters eventually discover that laughter produces more power than screams.

Monstropolis is sometimes confused with settings from other animated films. Halloween Town belongs to The Nightmare Before Christmas, Zootopia is the animal city from Zootopia, and Metroville is associated with The Incredibles. Monstropolis is specifically the urban home of the Monsters, Inc. characters.
