Central City is a massive, bustling Metropolis in the American heartland that has its own instantly recognizable visual aesthetic. Where Gotham is an urban wonderland inspired by the 1930s, Central City is a chrome-and-neon wonderland inspired by 1950s science-fiction, filled with retro-futuristic architecture. Everywhere you look, guys in letterman's jackets flirt with girls in poodle skirts, tinkering with smartphones while wandering in and out of old-fashioned jukebox diners. But above all, Central City is renowned far and wide as one of America's greatest centers of scientific research; while Metropolis epitomizes social progress, and the artistic mecca of Gotham epitomizes cultural progress, Central City epitomizes scientific progress. Hence, just as Wayne Tower and the Daily Planet building are instantly recognizable landmarks in their respective cities, the biggest and most prominent landmark in Central City is a massive scientific research center called the Central City Future Institute. And one of the institute's most up-and-coming young researchers is a young woman named Iris West, who's in a steady relationship with the gifted crime scene analyst Barry Allen.
