Create a cartoon-style image depicting a seemingly vibrant and cheerful city wit

Create a cartoon-style image depicting a seemingly vibrant and cheerful city with bright, colorful buildings and smiling people on the surface. However, beneath the surface, show the hidden layers of the city with dark, shadowy figures pulling strings, representing corruption, manipulation, and exploitation. Include symbols like chains, puppeteer hands, and masked faces to signify control and deception. The contrast between the bright surface and the dark underworld should be stark, with the deeper layers revealing society's hidden and sinister secrets.
