Wellington City Council has confirmed it yanked a photo of the pop sensation off the internet – and plonked her into an artist's impressions of how the city will look in the future.
The image, with Cyrus superimposed on to it, was then supplied to The Dominion Post and appeared on yesterday's front page.
It shows Cyrus – who would be 47 in 2040 – jogging along a tree-lined boulevard between Cambridge and Kent terraces.
She appears to have skipped by unnoticed, in her dark sunglasses, as Wellingtonians cycle past and lounge among the foliage, blissfully unaware of the celebrity nearby.
The picture was one of a dozen featured in yesterday's paper, from the Wellington 2040 City Strategy, which gives the council's vision for the "coolest little capital in the world" in 30 years.
Cyrus can also be seen running along a revamped Majoribanks St, looking every bit as young as her present-day 18 years.

Council spokesman Grahame Armstrong said the staffer who created the image knew it was a picture of Cyrus when she took it off the internet.
"But like The Dominion Post, not too many of us noticed it was Miley Cyrus until the next day. As far as we know, the council officer who chose the picture is not a proponent of the Wellywood sign."
Cyrus shot to fame in Disney sitcom Hannah Montana.
