In the Fifth Element, we see a great shot of future NYC which shows the statue of liberty and other recognizable elements sitting way up high on small mountains, with the sea line far below present day.
Is any reason given for this low sea level in the film or any other sources?
Answer
This view of New York city is the creation of Wayne Haag, aka Ankaris, you could see some of his works related to the Fifth Element on his website. Here is a view of the Brooklyn bridge taken form his site, so no, New Brooklyn was not raised to escape the fog:
According to an intervention from Ankaris here :
Luc Besson said the lowered ocean level was because we had shipped water off world for terraforming other planets. But he didn't want it explained anywhere.
