I'm not sure why more governments haven't tried building a modern super city TBH.

but what about all of the pre-existing infrastructure

like, let's say there's merit to this project - idk if it's feasible in places that already have full of buildings, sewer systems, etc.

The uh, beauty of this is that they're building in the middle of empty desert.

Not really. There are plenty of areas on the west coast of the US that have a decent amount of human presence but there isn't any economic opportunity. Those would be perfect places to build a new eco-friendly super city.

For this to work, youd need your job and anyone you wish to interact with to be located within that 5 minute walk.

Honestly, it seems like they are pitching this idea, and the reason it will work is Because!

Cool.Not sure if it will work but it's good to see people trying.Talk about having a 1 light town though.

Imagine speedy 2 way trains that just run in a straight line though.

They sell the whole product. That's 30% more product per product.
