I think of 70s as ochre, red, yellow... desert/fire type bleakness like Dirty Harry. 80s is more darks... blue, gray, black. Terminator, robocop etc

yeah i think the aesthetic was set in motion in the 70s but really coalesced in the 80s

List of movies in which the urban environment was a character would likely be revealing. Nakatomi space type analysis but for all movies.

yeah - could assemble a great list like that for NYC. There's a doc about LA as represented in movies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel (but LA-set movies are so self-referential its hard to generalize to other cities)

Idea, large spreadsheet with iconic world cities in columns, years in rows, each cell coded by a color representing aesthetic of color-space average of movies in it. Heat map basically.

that would be really interesting. your comment is making me think of the hotel carpet in the Shining (which is actually 1980)
